Other Facts
In fact, 7-Eleven is so convenient that it has become an integral part of Taiwanese culture. Eighty percent of urban household shoppers in Taiwan visit a convenience store each week. The idea of being able to purchase food items, drinks, and magazines or to send a Takkyubin or a DHL 24 hours a day and at any corner of a street makes life easier for this extremely busy and rushed population.
- The highest 7-Eleven in the country is 1743 meters above sea level.

Famous quotes containing the word facts:
“So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“It is not an arbitrary “decree of God,” but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow; for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
