Both 7/11 and Family Mart are Japanese but Taiwan has the biggest number of them: in the same street you can find even 3 or 4 (in my street, for example, there are 2 7/11 and 2 Family Mart... All of them within 100-150 meters!).
I love convenience stores because they have everything you need: when you are hungry (at 2 pm or at 4 am) you can take something to eat, after club you can have a reeeeally good hamburger or sushi roll, which is even better ("sushi is yhe new Kebab"), if there is a Typhoon you can come here and take what you need at any time you want (that really happened! During my first week in Taiwan we had a typhoon and no light, no electricity, no water for the whole day so we went to th nearest 7/11 at least to eat something), if you are sick you may find some medicine... or at least someone who may help you or call a doctor.
Another thing I love is that they have a microwave to heat food and a kind of coffee machine to prepare you an American coffee or a Café Latte (breakfast at 7/11 are soooooo common: butter milk bread and hot coffee! Even if it is not the best it's ok, convenience stores are too...convenient!
The last amazing thing is that you can do everything here! Pay your rent, charge your phone with data and calls, withdraw money, buy tickets for the bus, buy tickets for the baseball match, pay your laundry... I will really miss them once back in Italy!
Ps: never lose your 7/11-Family Mart receipts... There is a lottery every two months! And Taiwanese say there is always the possibility to win something... Should we believe or not? #Ialwaysforgettoplay
