    Some convenience stores (like 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life) have restrooms.

      Every photo brings back memories of my trip there last November.

          For mobile payments, there's Apple Pay and Line Pay.

            Line? That's the first I've heard of it.

              You're great at photography! Even the rundown streets look so charming in your pictures.

                Haha, Taiwan might look a bit rundown at first glance. But then you discover it has a unique charm. It really grows on you and leaves a lasting impression after you've left.

                  Comparatively, electronic payments aren't as widespread here. You definitely need to carry cash. Street food stalls and some great local eateries or cafes still prefer cash.

                    That's right! And the ride-hailing apps seem different too. Apart from Uber, our usual ride-hailing apps don't work there.

                      Trash cans... you can just use the ones in any of the convenience stores all over the place.

                        Basically, the trash cans in convenience stores are meant for customers who've eaten there. Most people feel a bit awkward just walking in to throw away their outside trash.

                          For a sweet and fair-skinned girl like you, even if you weren't lost, I'd offer to help you cross the street.

                              There are many mobile payment options, just not Alipay which you guys might be used to. You could try Apple Pay next time.
