Wow, thanks! I didn’t know that either, and I do care about the state of my bananas, I like mine to still have a little green on it. Read more

They spread this culture to Korea and Taiwan too. Convenience stores everywhere and with decent food. I always have to be careful to not let it spoil a planned restaurant meal. It’s nothing like going to a department store food hall, but they’re everywhere and clean. Part of it is cultural that part timers take the… Read more
