Anecdote #5: Convenience Stores
Starbucks is popular in some of the Tokyo areas. You also can find 7-11 and Family Store just across the street from Starbucks. Normally, these stores are located within a block from a hotel. These small convenience stores have almost everything, e.g.umbrellas, toothbrushes, make-ups, masks, drugs, milk/yogurt, besides, coffee and breakfast/lunch packages with a small eating area. On a rainy day, these stores, hotels, and other retails put umbrellas outside for people to use. It’s convenient especially for travelers.
Wonderful choices for breakfast in a small 7-11 store, and you can choose and make you own coffee or tea.

Interestingly, the same Iris was labelled “Fringed Iris” in one of the gardens in Kyoto.
I love those “conbis”

Yes the convenience stores in Tokyo have nearly everything, even dinner, specially those near the tram stations.

These convenience stores are very omni-present in South Korea too, and handy for a speedy meal of instant noodles, as they have bowls, boiling water and chopsticks available – all you need! Needless to say, we avoided Starbucks in favour of small local independents. Your flower photos are glorious!
