The Rules

You have just convinced me to put "visit a 7-11" on my Japan bucket list*. I need to know what it feels like to print sheet music there.

*I may not ever get to go to Japan, but we can all dream

Trust me, if you go to Japan you will go to a 7-11 whether you want to or not. They are absolutely everywhere, like “ubiquitous” is an understatement. I think when we were there we went to 2-5 convenience stores per day just because they were just so… convenient…

You should try to visit 7-11 in most countries, they are all very different!
