The way that many houses are built in Taiwan makes it easy for people to transform their front rooms into a restaurant or store front. In addition, the fact that many people have their own gardens and farms makes it easier for them to produce their own food to sell in stores and at restaurants.
Since this is a very self-reliant environment, people face the challenge of not always being able to run their businesses if they are sick and can't get anyone to help them. Also, since they grow their own food, they may face challenges if the weather is not good and they don't have a good harvest.
Many people have learned how to be a part of this environment by learning how to farm, making food, and selling something that the community needs!
