Wonderful things about Japan - Episode 5 - The Combini

Family Mart, Sankusu (Thanks), 7 Eleven, Lawson, and other chains besides. The combini or convenience store is truly convenient. They are much like the Australian petrol station shop, but without the petrol, and with much better food. They are also always open. Hence they are much more convenient.

A day spent sight-seeing always involves lunch. Bakery food is nice, when it can be had, but bakeries can be a bit hard to find. Restaurant food is tasty, but can get expensive. Then there's the combini. You never have far to walk before you stumble upon an combini, and for under $3, I could get myself a carton of chocolate milk, and a niku-man (steamed dumpling with meat inside).
