Whatever reservations one may have about the quality of convenience stores in their home country, it doesn't take a very long trip throughout Japan to have those put to bed. Many who have spent time in the country know them to be a dependable oasis for not only surprisingly high quality meals on-the-go, but also providing services such as concert ticket purchasing and even bill payment.

The reporter was delighted to find out that the Tokyo hotel he was stationed at had an 7-Eleven attached to it, making his newfound obsession just a stone's throw away from covering the Tokyo Olympics.
