It has been almost a month since the rise in Covid-19 infections and the implementation of level 3 warning. We have been staying at home and hardly going out. However, recently, delivery companies have been overwhelmed with orders, causing some shops to stop deliveries.
Towards the end of May, we ordered some mangoes from Pingdong. Initially, they said we would have to wait 7-14 days. After waiting a little over a week, they suddenly changed their response to after June. They also refused to refund our money, claiming that waiting one month is not that long.
On a weekend, a typhoon arrived, but it dissipated after entering Taiwan, leaving only rain on June 6th. We decided to drive to Pingdong to buy some mangoes since we didn't want to wait indefinitely. We stopped by the beach where several cars were parked, with people sitting inside, enjoying the sea view. Since there were no people on the beach, we wore our masks and went for a walk. It was a different experience seeing the sea view during a typhoon. The waves were big, but the sound of the water, even though it was a bit loud, felt comfortable and calming. Eventually, it started raining, so we stopped by to buy mangoes and drove back home.
Due to the government's urging to stay home, we attempted to buy food online. However, we have had no luck so far, neither with Carrefour nor RT-Mart. Carrefour had many items, but it always seemed that we couldn't place an order at that time. As for RT-Mart, they removed most food options from their delivery service. Consequently, we still had to go out to do our shopping. My husband didn't want to leave the house, so he hopes the food we bought will last us the entire month (although we only have a small fridge). Despite it being a month since people went on a shopping frenzy, there is still a shortage of instant noodles, and there is a limit of 2 packs per person. Fortunately, we are lucky to have a kitchen and the knowledge of how to cook, so we can rely on other types of noodles and food that are not limited.
