Notes - Finding canned black beans in Taipei.

The canned beans were difficult to find. The only place that I found it was at Wellcome Mart. You will notice a red and yellow sign. There's is one near Zhongxiao Dunhua Station. Here's their wikipedia if you want to read more about the store: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellcome. Sometimes you will see dried black beans in the markets, but those are not the same. It's a Taiwanese variety that has an overall harder skin and bean than the Mexican versions.
