If you’ve travelled to Japan you know just how convenient this country can be. There are vending machines everywhere: in trains; at temples; on street corners. The same can be said for convenience stores, found: at airports; on train station platforms; and even in video games.

Really, what’s the point? A few steps down the block is a second Family Mart!

In Japanese convenience store is written in katakana as コンビニエンスストア [konbini-ensu-sutoa] but as the Japanese often do with foreign words, it’s shortened toコンビニ [konbini].
