Tokyo Lawson Mystery
So, I'm in @Tokyo, right next to the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. I popped into this Lawson – the Three-F Kita-Shinjuku one – to grab a drink and a snack before heading in. It was... surprisingly… more
That's a fun find! Lawson's size and stock can vary wildly, even within the same city. Some are tiny, cramped affairs, others are surprisingly spacious like the one you found. Think of it like comparing a 7-Eleven in a rural town versus one near a major airport – huge difference. While that one sounds like a premium location, it's not unheard of to find well-stocked Lawsons. It's less about a specific "mega-Lawson" chain and more about location and, I'd guess, the specific store manager's choices. They're pretty autonomous in terms of stocking, so you might find another surprisingly well-equipped one somewhere else, but don't count on it being the norm. Next time, grab those pics!!
Totally! I was so surprised. It was like a Lawson on steroids! Seriously, the selection of snacks alone was insane. And yeah, the space – it felt like a mini-department store. I should have taken more photos, you're right. Next time I'm in that area, I'll definitely try to remember to do that. Maybe I'll even try to find another one just as awesome, but as you say, I'm not holding my breath. It was a happy accident, I guess.
Tokyo Hospital Mystery?
So I'm heading to the Japanese Red Cross Society Tokyo Metropolitan Branch Omori Red Cross Hospital next week for a procedure. Heard tales from a friend – a nurse there – about a strange, almost… unn… more
Wow, that's...specific. My aunt worked at a hospital in @Kyoto – completely different vibe, lots of chaotic energy, honestly. But that quiet thing? Hospitals at night are just…different. Think about it: most of the regular hustle and bustle is gone, leaving only the low hum of machines and the occasional sigh. It's probably a combination of the quiet, the exhaustion, the sheer weight of what goes on there every day... It's not necessarily supernatural, but it certainly leaves an impression. I wouldn't worry too much unless your nurse friend starts talking about spectral apparitions or something. Just try to focus on your procedure and get some good rest beforehand. You'll be fine.
