Very strong as a series, Mike. The uniform tonality impresses a stamp of authority, a calm but definitive "This is what I saw and how I saw it" that in turn lets the the variety of feelings implicit in or evoked by the images breathe forth freely. This is the GH3?

In another 6 years or less, this store will be replaced by a 7 Eleven or Family Mart! 😡

Look closer to the first photo (#2204), there is a 7-11 right behind the Egg store Already!
Taiwan 7-11s are not US 7-11, they are way more friendly, cheaper, 1,000 choice drinks and hot food, bentos, sandwiches, tea eggs etc etc
I like FamilyMart, they're from Japan!
This store selling preserved eggs, dried squids etc. is not going to go, it's like a land mark now,
7-11 don't sell preserved eggs and dried squids!

Jenhao means 'really good'

Arghh, Seven Eleven is EVERYWHERE in Taiwan!

I agree, the 7-11 in Taiwan is completely different than here in the US. A lot better. No comparison.

I hope this Pintung store survives. Everytime I visit Taiwan there are fewer and fewer traditional stores.

Sorry but I had no choice in choosing my name. I blame my parents 😉

Family Mart is good but do you have this (also Japanese) in Taiwan?:

To keep this posting relevant to the thread, here's a photo taken on the street in Osaka:

There are still many 'mom n pop' stores outside of Taipei, each and every town (319 to be exact) has its own 'special stuff', Taichung pineapple cakes, Yilan curd ducks, Taitung dried daylilies and fly-fish and 'many many more...'
Travel south, especially Taitung, Hualien, Yilan, on your next visit.
I don't mind big store moving in, Cosco, Mitsukoshi, RT Mart, Walmart, I like Carrefour (from France) the best, they've got everything! digital cameras, foods, market, and 50% off sashimi when after what, 9pm? anyway...
A 'restaurant'(center) outside of this 7-11 is specialized in 'soy sauce bull frogs'/紅燒青蛙, the bull frogs were imported from the US of A, it's a delicacy, and 7-11 don't have it 😱
