In this episode, hosts Anita and Eric delve into the fascinating world of shopping culture and the unique differences between Taiwan and the USA. From shopping hours to payment methods, sales tax to shopping habits, they examine the contrasting shopping experiences that can be found in these two countries.

Anita and Eric discuss how shopping hours in Taiwan are longer than in the USA, with many stores operating from 10am to 10pm or later. They also explore the practice of bargaining, which is common in Taiwan but less so in the USA, and how payment methods differ between the two countries, with cash still being the primary form of payment in Taiwan, while credit and debit cards are more common in the USA.

The hosts also examine the contrasting sales tax systems between Taiwan and the USA. In Taiwan, sales tax is included in the price of goods, while in the USA, sales tax is added to the price of goods at the point of sale, with varying rates depending on state and city.

Anita and Eric also discuss how shopping habits differ between Taiwan and the USA. In Taiwan, many people prefer to shop at traditional markets and small shops, while in the USA, shopping at large chain stores and online retailers is more common. They also touch upon the frequency of shopping trips, with many people in Taiwan shopping for fresh produce and other goods on a daily or weekly basis, while in the USA, weekly or monthly shopping trips at large supermarkets are more common.

Join Anita and Eric as they explore the fascinating world of shopping culture and the differences that can be found between Taiwan and the USA.
