    Most shops in my area (New Hampshire, USA) close at 9PM with a few exceptions like 24 hour drug stores, some Wal-Marts, and 24 hour gas stations.

    For Singapore, there's plenty of hawker centres open 24 hours, not to mention convenience stores and a few supermarkets too. Most stores close between 10pm - 11pm though.

    読めないけど営業時間の話だと予想。関東だと駅前とか立地条件のいい所だと深夜0時とかまで営業しているスーパーは結構あるよね。便利。
    コレに慣れると地方に行った時かなり悲惨。7時に店仕舞とかお役所じゃねーんだからもっと働けよと言いたくなる。引きこもりが言うなと返されそうだが。

    In the Netherlands the biggest grocary store chain Albert Hijn closes at 19:00 daily.
    General stores (anything else) close at 18:00 daily with hte exception of either Thursday (21;00) or Friday(21:00) the later depends on which part of the country you are.

    There is no 24/7 economy here so no 24 hour shops or anything later than the times mentioned above.
    Which i think sucks ^_^;

    In the UK larger shops tend to close between five and six in the evening unless the evening is designated for late night shopping and then they stay open longer, but small supermarket branches are often open until late, or even open twenty four hours. I was quite surprised coming to Japan to find that many shops closed much later in the evening.
