Cool stuff in Taiwan

One of the really cool stuff in Taiwan is that there are plenty of promotions everywhere, and I am guessing it is because of the heavy competition in every field, including 24-hours convenience store such as 7-Eleven (vs FamilyMart, Hi-Mart, and so on). Almost (if not all) every town there will be at least one convenience store, depending on whether is is 7-Eleven or not.

Anyway, these convenience store, they usually have give-away where you will first need to collect points (through spending, say, over 70NTD). Once you collected enough points, top-up with a small amount of money and you will get the prize (such as figurines, folder and whatnot). Recently the theme is Disney vs Marvel figures of invisible-pen or highlight-pen.

Heck, I was expecting Woody or Buzz or Iron Man or Captain America, probably Donald Duck or Mickey, but definitely wasn't expecting The Hulk.

I got the Hulk.



Before this, there was the One Piece portable battery series, and it was pretty cool too.

I guess Taiwan's convenience stores really bring the word "convenience" to extreme, by being super-duper convenient, easily found, easily get, with plenty of promotions and clearance and whatnot to lure you in.
