Vending machines everywhere!

Why does Japan have so many vending machines?

Everywhere around the streets you can see vending machines selling all kinds of drinks and foods.

This is a very special for people outside of Japan. In Taiwan where I came from, we don’t really have that many vending machines.

The vending machines in Japan sell all kinds of drinks and foods, ranging from hot and cold tea, coffee, soft drinks, and beers, to foods like ice cream, sweet and salty breads, candy and chocolates.

I often buy things at the vending machines not only because they are convenient but also special.

What about you? Do you like vending machines? Do you think there are too many or not enough vending machines on the streets of Japan?
