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:
“Great abilites are not requisite for an Historian; for in historical composition, all the greatest powers of the human mind are quiescent. He has facts ready to his hand; so there is no exercise of invention. Imagination is not required in any degree; only about as much as is used in the lowest kinds of poetry. Some penetration, accuracy, and colouring, will fit a man for the task, if he can give the application which is necessary.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
