sure. Do you mean the cash register machines, ATMs, ticket machines etc or stuff they sell? They don’t sell much tech stuff but there are a few machines in store for customers to use. In fact, I was going to try and explain about the new machines they are trying out in Shibuya convenience stores for allowing people to get local records, like birth records, proof of identity etc. Looks like the City Hall folk have worked out its more convenience to take the services to where the people are. great idea.

Thanks. Yes, the empty shelves surprised me. When I went back the next day the shelves were full of new products. Maybe it should be Conbini Tuesday to catch the full shelves

In Holland the weather has been a massive amounts of snow for the last few weeks; usually resulting in very slippery pedestrian roads when the snow gets crushed by people walking on it all day under freezing temperatures; so like Whipcracker said.. when you gots to go, you gots to go

Aside from that the Wantan from ace cook looks cute
There’s no marukaburi sushi in regular conbini’s over here, our regular conbini’s have those tiny sushi’s , like their 1/3 the size of a normal roll ? I hate those personally, and their always made somewhere else than the conbini itself so freezed/cooled for at least a day before you eat it.

There’s a small city just outside of Amsterdam called Amstelveen, houses the majority of the Japanese people living here in this country, i’m sure if I walk around there I can find marukaburi sushi tough
