Convenience Stores

There are lots of convenience stores in Taiwan, sometimes even about five to six in one block.

Taiwan and Canada’s convenience stores have lots of differences.

You can ship and receive packages even frozen stuff at the convenience stores in Taiwan. The convenience stores are always busy, because there are always lots of customers (even at midnight). The convenience stores even sell made to order coffee/bubble tea and ice cream…etc. People can also pay bills and buy many kinds of ticket at the convenience stores.

They also have mascots for each brand of convenience stores in Taiwan.

Night Market


Night Market

There are many Night Markets in Taiwan. I like going to the Night Markets because they have a lot of street food. There’s also games in most of the Night Markets. There’s more than THREE-HUNDRED night Markets in Taiwan. I have been to many of the markets. I have won a lot of stuff from these Night Markets. The best prize I’ve won was a stuffed animal that looks like a dog. Some of the Night Markets are bigger than other ones. The games at the Night Markets are marble run, shooting balls, basketball, ball roll, dart shooting, fish scooping, mahjong six in a row and so much more. Going to the Night Markets are so much fun.

 

Squat Toilet

This is a kind of toilet that you have to use by squatting.When I used it for the first time, I accidentally peed on my hand.I have not seen this kind of toilet in Canada before.This kind of toilet is very difficult to use. This kind of toilet is a very rare kind of toilet that I have only seen in Taiwan.Now, I am very good at using this kind of toilet.

Taipei Astronomical Museum


Today I went to the Taipei Astronomical Museum. The Taipei Astronomical Museum was a very cool place where you can see things about space and the galaxy. I think the Taipei Astronomical museum has very interesting and cool things. I enjoyed going to the Taipei astronomical museum because it was very interesting and nice. The Taipei astronomical museum kind of looks like science world but it is yellow and Science world is silver.The Taipei astronomical museum has 4 floors and all of the floors are very interesting and very cool but every floor has different things to do and learn. I love going to the Taipei astronomical museum.
