When I was in Japan I virtually lived in their convenience stores.
Snacker's paradise. So clean, well-lit, well-stocked, and tasty. I was
partial to the chicken teriyaki potato chips (mouth still waters to

1L of heaven.

Man, Japan kicked a.s. I gained ~20lbs over 8yrs there, but 30lbs over
2 years here, with substantially the same eating habits.
