One thing that I felt annoyed in the US (Alex)

  This is my first time staying in the United States. Generally speaking, I pretty like the weather and people here. However, there's one thing I really feel inconvenient about. In the U.S, hardly can people find convenience stores such as 7-11 and have some food to eat in the midnight. I feel annoyed simply because in Taiwan, we can walk for a short distance to the convenient stores at any time. There're lots of convenient stores in urban area, so we would never worry about lack of something even in wee hours. Besides, safety in the midnight in Taiwan is undoubtedly good because you can just go outside after 12:00 a.m. without any friends accompanied. Nonetheless, in the U.S, it's a different story. In Berkeley and San Francisco as I have observed, there are a lot of hobos. Many people just said that you should never go outside alone after dawn because you would easily fall prey to those who intended to rob you. Though I haven't experienced the situation they described, many people did get robbed when they went outside alone. Without the above disadvantages, United States is still a nice place as far as I'm concerned.
