Convenience Stores コンビニ


Convenience stores are everywhere in Japan, living in Tokyo makes it even more likely that there is one lurking around every corner..

So are they good or bad?








Well they certainly are convenient as the name suggests they offer a wide range of different products although not a wide range (in general) within a specific product type.....unless its alcohol ;-)

They are open 24 hours, and also often offer other facilities such as an ATM, fax, Copying (in color with digital photo printing) and a delivery service. ...
The bad thing about being never closed is that if you are feeling temptation for a late night snack or drink then you can always get one...which probably means you are more likely to get one..hmmmm

One very good thing about them though is that periodically you can win things as they run promotions... Just last week I won an instant noodle and a box of mints totaling 700yen in value...not bad.





Whats the best thing you have won in a convenience store?....
