5,000 7-Eleven stores!Taiwan is about 14,000 square miles and if my math is correct, there is a store every 2.8 miles!
Your math is wrong, unless you expect the country to be one kilometer wide and 14000 km long
Got a tip for us?

What is the correct answer then?
No argument from me, but I've seen plenty of people deny the truth on these forums and accuse people of being such. Pretty lame if you ask me
5,000 7-Eleven stores!
That's almost as many, as there are Starbucks in NYC ..

That would be a 14,000 sq km island, and it is in reality just under 36,000 sq km. Maybe you got your Miles and Kilometers mixed up.
No reply from Dodgymurx yet, as he has perhaps figured out his math is off. According to Wikipedia, the island is indeed just under 14,000 sq miles, and 5,000 stores does indeed average out to one store per 2.8 sq miles.
On the subject of those TVs, that is one nice-looking, thin-bezeled TV. Is this maybe a test market for Foxconn, to gain experience for a global roll-out, sometime in the future?
Another "dumb American" comment. And, the report was talking about Taiwan, not Japan. But of course you wouldn't know the difference.
why do we need that many TVs?

huh? I thought Taiwan was part of Japan? and it's a country now all by itself?

Correct about Japan, but Taiwan is a Taiwanese state. It has its own president and independent government (granted not many countries actually recognise the fact. Yourselves and even the U.S. included. - having China's business is more important than recognising Taiwan's freedom!)
