Taiwan - Seven Eleven

Here's another spin off of the tales from zen's Taiwan trip series. I would round them up shorter in different perspective.

Taipei is a clean city. I was convinced when we took the public buses from airport to a train terminal. The significant shop is 7-11. The shops are all over Taipei. Yes, every, corner. You can find several 7-11s in one train central building. awesome. just like the packaging of japanese goods, they are colourful. For a milk lover myself, I was fascinated with the range of flavors available for milk, even produced by 7-11 itself.

They sell hot, steamy Oden right at the front of their shop; very different. They sell almost everything, food, newspaper, "health" magazine, brewed coffee, prepaid card for MRT, mobile phone, internet, icash, free coins exchange and free advice for directions. :) They even provide delivery service, photo printing, photocopy, fax services.

This bagel series appear a lot in the advertisement in Taiwan and I bought them to try. It is too hard and too dry for my taste. The packaging is eye catching.
