Well Hello Dere!

I wonder if any of you mofos ever read this.
Ah well. Lalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Anyway...
I've noticed something about Taiwan and have been wanting to post it forever but keep forgetting. How about now? Okay. So I've noticed that Taiwanese businesses like to compete with each other. That sounds normal, right? But, take for instance: On a given street, you will see 10 hot pot restaurants, or 10 scooter helmet restaurants, or of course 10 7-11's. All right by or across the street from each other. 7-11 is a franchise over here, but still. I think they like to see who can be better. 7-11's prices are all the same from store to store. But the other businesses, like helmets, might vary a few dollars in their prices. It's like they are all trying to dominate an area with their busnesses. All clustered together. Then you will go miles and not see any sort of business like helmets, but maybe, like I said, a hot pot place- and then 9 more within eye shot. It's kinda funny. Instead of diversifying an area, they saturate it with one type of place. But when you go to the touristy places, well, then you see the worldly places and many different selections. Now I'll tie this into kids. You tell them to think of a topic to write about and they all start writing about the same thing! Even if you give them a multitude of topics, they all choose the same thing! It's funny. Maybe they are subconsciously competing with each other (and don't know it yet). I'm wondering; is it a lack of creativity within? Or is it constant competition. I'm thinking the latter- especially since kids are brought up with rigorous school work and English classes on top of that so that the average teen doesn't go to bed before 2am because they are studying. Is it a constant "do better than your neighbor" mentality. And at the same time, Asian countries, the economically comfortable ones like Taiwan, China, Japan and others I'm sure, succeed more than their western counterparts. But at what price? At the price of creativity and individualism?
Just a thought. Perhaps this wasn't well written, but it was all just coming off the top of my head.
