コンビ二 - Japan's Wal-Mart

Today it finally occurred to me how convenient the convenience stores actually are. I'm not talking about a Slurpee and a Taquito convenience, I'm talking about mobile cell phone charger and alcohol convenience. I'll trade a Chu-hai and a beer for a slurpee any day.

Let me just list some things that you can buy at the conbini (yeah, even conbini is more convenient to say)

• Battery powered cell phone chargers
• Alcohol in all its forms -pre-made canned cocktails, beer, sake, etc.
• Hair wax, hair Spray, cologne.
• Electric razors
  
• AV (Pornography) -DVD's too!
• Handmade desserts, sushi, and even french fries.
  
• Concert and sporting event tickets, and you can pay your cell phone bill too...yeah

Many Conbini's also have a place to sit down to eat. America needs to step up their effort so I can get more than just Gas and Big Gulps.

And just a side note, I have never wanted to ask a convenience store clerk out on a date until Japan.

Kudos Japan
