Thinking Everything, Including Stores, Will Be Open Conveniently Late

In the US, stores tend to be open pretty late. It is common to find stores that will be open past 10 pm, and many are also 24/7. However, in many other countries, especially in Europe, stores close at a relatively early hour. You can't just pop out to the store to run some errands at 9 pm under normal circumstances. You have to plan your day to get it done earlier.

Some stores will close as early as 6 pm in many countries in the world. If you need to grab a few items before the evening, be sure to plan in advance.
