I'm glad that it's been a success and that the space has been used to fire the creativity of others thought sewing classes and workshops. Everything's better when people have a creative outlet.

On the other hand, corner shop" we call it convenience store" is everywhere.Very convenient! We use them for quick shopping to buy things. Japan’s convenience stores have all kind of things we need in every day life.Also it’s easy to book and receive any tickets, also there is 24 hour ATM inside. Yes, bank is inside. They bravely compete with big supermarket.<br />Have a good week!

The main one used to be 7-11 ---but there are lots more now. One of the most common places to see them now are in big gas stations. There are some big ones (Love's or Pilot) --where truckers (in addition to travelers) stop for all kinds to things... They even offer showers for those who are traveling long distances--especially the truckers (who sleep in their trucks)....<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759507296620179428.post-37314965339486889872014-09-01T20:37:13.562+01:002014-09-01T20:37:13.562+01:00How creative and wonderful shots that you took ~ W...How creative and wonderful shots that you took ~ Walk down 'memory lane'~ Great post for OWT!<br /><br />artmusedog and carol (A Creative Harbor)carol l mckennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151914466378663660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759507296620179428.post-81604130001759969222014-09-01T20:17:59.324+01:002014-09-01T20:17:59.324+01:00That is wild - a very unusual and awesome art exhi...That is wild - a very unusual and awesome art exhibit.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826369816985788575noreply@blogger.com
