When you think about 7-11 in the US, you maybe think of free slurpees on the date 7-11, but not in Taiwan! In Taipei there is everything in one 7-11, including all different types of Doritos and Cheetos, for example chicken fried Cheetos or pizza Doritos maybe sushi lays. They have hot food too like tea eggs and sweet potatoes. And they don't just have snacks but also all different types of drinks like teas, sodas, and more! But that's not all, you can pay bills, deliver mail, there is sometimes bathrooms, you can print things, fill up your MRT card, buy HSR (high speed rail) tickets, ATMs ,and you can get coffee or something in the cafe' there.
Today we went to 7-11 to take photos for this blog. Dad tried to print our visa thingies and only 3 out of 4 printed. Mom and me tried to order cold bubble tea and ended up with hot cinnamon milk with boba. We got truffle chips and flamin hot Doritos. Both were gross. It was still pretty fun.
So many amazing things about 7-11, but Family mart has fun things just like it too! So for Family Mart it has all the same things in it, but there is a little more to it! At Family Mart, you can get Soft Serve ice cream! But there even more to the ice cream: every 2 months they change the flavor. We have had the mixed fruit, tea, cheese cake coffee, chocolate, and strawberry! For me, I like the strawberry the most! But my parents do have on thing they don't like, or feel bad for everyone who works there, is that when the door opens every time it plays a short song, but it plays a lot of times and its a little annoying.
Also for both of 7-11 and Family Mart, there are at least 1 on every street! Which really helps us if we need to use the bathroom or we need to take the bus but we have no money on our MRT/bus card - just find a Family Mart or 7-11!
And even sometimes different 7-11 or Family marts have different themes. Like the 1 by our first hotel was a Hello Kitty theme, or any TV show/movie that's very popular. Some have a lot of space for seating and to eat the food people buy at the store.
But for me I like Family mart the most but Grayson, Mom, and 1/2 of dad like 7-11 and the other half of dad is for Family Mart.
