Every time you walk down the street in Taiwan, the most common stores you might encounter would be convenience stores.

According to Wikipedia, there are more 20,000 7-11 in Japan and more than 5,000 7-11 in Taiwan.

So from this, we can see that the convenience stores like 7-11 and FamilyMart have spread into every corner of people’s lives.

We can literally run errands(跑腿), such as buying food and drink, paying electricity bills, copying documents or even buying concert tickets.

However, did you know that 7-11 flopped (失敗)in Indonesia？

Well, 7-11 in Indonesia failed because of geographic reach reasons(地緣觸及的原因）, alcohol ban(禁酒） and new competitors.
