What are some things that you admire from other culture? 1. Japan: Convenience store culture Eating at a convenience store used to mean eating to fill one's stomach quickly. Living in Korea, I often feel that there aren't many kinds of food in convenience store. Sandwiches are similar and so are lunch boxes. I've heard that stores in Japan are different. First, shelves are always full of many kinds of good-quality products. Noodles, lunch boxes, desserts.... You can have satisfying meals there. Some of the products especially Japanese desserts like dojima roll and tamago sando are well sold in Korean convenience stores. Second, you can find convenience stores everywhere in Japan. More than 50,000 stores are always open. Moreover, they are more than just retail stores. They provide high convenience for consumers. So many other services are offered as well. For example, you can ship and receive packages, use an ATM, copier machine, and also pay bills there. Some stores even offer house-cleaning and dry-cleaning services.
