The Rules
Posts must be:

They still have a love affair with faxes though. Thank God you can fax from 7 Eleven. You can do pretty much anything from 7 Eleven.
You... can fax from 7-11? I need to know more about this!
Each 7-11 in Japan has one of those big business multicopiers. You can copy, print, scan, fax. The printing is sweet because it does photo printing on glossy paper, but also laser printing up to A3 size or even making custom post cards. They also have databases of paid content like sheet music and stuff you can print. I prefer Lawson/FamilyMart though since they also have sticker printing!
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!
