Re: Convenience Store (Konbini) Thread
Wow, you're keeping up with this more than I am! Then again, I mainly go to 7-11 since it's closer. Family Mart is the next closest, though. Family Marts in Fuji finally started accepting payments via Suica (FINALLY). I love using my Suica card. Whenever I go stay at my family's place in the mountain countryside of Nagano-ken, however, the combini employees usually don't know what to do with Suica and they have to ask their manager.
Maybe it's worth it to walk a little further to Family Mart so that I can use my T-Point card.

Re: Convenience Store (Konbini) Thread
I remember we had a Lawson's and Family mart immediately by our hotel and a few more in the 2-3 block radius. We kept going in to buy candy, food, onigiri (yum), and random supplies. (Glasses clothes, highlighters, bandaids, deodorant...)
WE were tempted to buy a lot of these weird merchandise things...but timing was bad. (i really would have loved to be there when Macross Frontier was out.)
I really love these places... so convenient and addictive... did I mention we used to go to 2-3 a day?
And when I saw Lawson's in Waikiki (http://25.media.tumblr.com/884c5a9f2cd6 ... o3_250.jpg), I screamed and dragged my sister inside. It wasn't quite the same

Re: Convenience Store (Konbini) Thread
I go to the konbini nearly everyday when I go to Japan. Mainly because I want to eat cheap and use my money towards other things.

Re: Convenience Store (Konbini) Thread
Oh, you can still find Macross Frontier stuff at convenience stores here, from time to time. In the year and a half I've been living in Japan, I have seen Macross F figures and snacks at convenience stores. They have these wafer cookie-style snacks that come with trading cards for about 100 yen and I have seen Macross F ones on occasion. Currently I see Evangelion and Madoka Magica ones. Not too long ago, there were IDOLM@STER and Hatsune Miku ones. They seem to rotate such licenses around.Sgirl wrote:I really would have loved to be there when Macross Frontier was out.(
