Also, 7-Elevens in Japan allow you to do things like pay utility bills, buy tickets for transit and various entertainment events, and even do banking (7-Eleven Japan even have their own banking system operated through ATM machines inside the store).
The 7-Eleven in Japan is remarkable! For heavy luggages, you can drop it over there and have them mailed to airport, city or your next hotel for a fee. That saved a lot of hassle especially we saved check-in fee for budget airline and avoiding hoarding space inside tightly packed commuter train or metro.
Ugh yes 7-11 and Family Mart were our go to's in Japan. Seaweed flavored chips, pizza steamed buns, onigiri, chicken curry, that soup he talked about, and all the sweets. So good!! Also they all have wifi which is invaluable for a tourist. My favorite is the egg salad sandwich... how is the white bread so fluffy and the egg salad so creamy?
What a fun and informative video. I'm glad my insights helped, and I've learned so many new things about 7/11 in the last 10 minutes! I loved hearing about the history, and I had no idea you could do so many errands like booking tickets. Next time I'm in Asia, I also have new snack ideas; yum!
The closet two 7-11 near where I live is 1 minute walk and 3 minute walk. I like getting the chicken and both 7-11 have different food so it’s amazing.
I don't know why but there's something so appealing to 7-Elevens in East Asia that it urged me to continually watch videos of it, like the videos of Strictly Dumpling shown in this video.
I lived in KL, Malaysia and 7-Eleven was actually part of my daily life. I visited Japan and it was even better. Now I (sadly) live in Germany where shops close with sunset and Sundays are closed for religious purposes. One of the main reasons I'm preparing to move to Japan is for its convenient lifestyle!
love this, ive been to Lawson, Familymart (7-11 didnt really take on for a long time in Indonesia), it has all the great featurrs you mentioned except the spaces here are 3 times smaller, and barely have indoor seats in most of branches, so we have to sit outside these covinient store while enduring baking hot sun just to have lunch, o course this isnt popular. And most of locations are on busy streets instead of quiet residencial area, which give the impression that these stores are only for young, active city dwellers
Wait till you see 7-11 in Thailand. You can find it almost everywhere. They translate local dishes into cheap microwave meals for $1 (rice dish, burger, chicken, onigiri, sausage, tokbokki, buns, etc.) which they are selling 24 HRS a day. With COVID, they added a delivery service for free (or almost free in a remote area) so you don't even need to walk out of your house. They will keep expanding because the owner is also the richest guy in Thailand who owns almost every business through CP Group. They have a super large farming business, telecommunication, internet broadband, cable tv, , Lotus (Tesco), Makro (Costco), 12,000 branches of 7-11. Plus, they are the largest shareholder of the world's largest insurance company Ping An. They also own a property in the middle of Shanghai and opens a 7-storey mall. Fascinating how this guy is so powerful and yet no one can do anything about him. So what we do now is trying to ban 7-11 because they support the military dictatorship in Thailand.
I've been to Bangkok and I love how cheap the pork burgers are, I love that you can just microwave it there or at home. I missed 7-11s, I live in Indonesia and 7-11 went bankrupt because of the local convenience store chains but those microwave meals and slurpees are the best
How awful can convenience stores in America be for there to be this much excitement about the Japanese ones? Aside from the ticket buying everything sounds completely and utterly normal for me, and i live nowhere near East Asia.
7-Elevens in Japan are on a whole different level, especially the food choices. They're actually good!
They are 🙌

You're lucky 😍

Oh hey I’m in this!
Great video mate, much love!
Legend!

So interesting. Thanks for sharing!
I loved 7/11 in Tokyo.
It's amazing!
Thanks for sharing these advice
7-11 in Denmark is amazing too
We'll have to look into it 👀

7-Eleven Philippines' Egg Sandwich is god-tier
We'll have to look into it 👀
If Suzuki bought out a majority stake in 7-11s then why are the ones in the US still trash? (besides Hawaii)
Now we're asking the right questions....
You forgot to mention 7-11s in Japan has very clean toilet. That's the most convenient thing about them.
AMAZING!
In Japan, convenience stores are also one of the few public places with rubbish bins
7 Elevens in Taiwan are the best 😍 the Onigiri 🍙🍙🍙 is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
😍😍😍
On Aug 19 2024 the Canadian owner of Circle K pitched an offer to buy out the Japanese owner of 7-Eleven

That's so interesting, thank you for sharing!
yeah, younger people are boycotting 7-11 in thailand because of the military dictatorship.

I've see CP frozen prawns sold in my local 7-11 too
plenty of convenience store in malaysia too.. love it so much
Yes!
Like Tesco sainsbury in the uk they are overall and very convenient
Ive found some strange & interesting things in US 7 11s too maybe its the Japan connection
Do a video about oxxo's in mexico!!
cdwagva would be coldly asking you to check out Lawson
Nice video. Also, his accent is cool. Just found out it is South African
Thanks!
Similar to Circle Ks in Asia. A1
I've just gone to 7-11 today. I got a Dr Pepper Big Gulp
Nice!
trying to figure out this guy's accent.... to me, sounds like a mix of South Africa and NZ
it is indeed South African :)
Sorry. Taiwan's 7/11 Are a league above
How awful can convenience stores in America be for there to be this much excitement about the Japanese ones? Aside from the ticket buying everything sounds completely and utterly normal for me, and i live nowhere near East Asia.
here in thailand at 7 a lot of carbs, no fruits, no vegetables. unhealthy.
What suprised me the most is they have microwaves that costumers can use. To warm up meals and eat them still in store.
So cool 😍
many 7-11s in the US also have microwaves
What accent is that
South African 🦁
first one
东西怎么样？
USA needs to step up their game.
And the narrator doesn't need to show his face every few seconds.
your accent is sick
