7-11 Mini-Marts - Chinese Style




Driving today, we stopped in for gas and a bathroom break. We were told that this facility had especially clean bathrooms and that was true. Bathrooms range from pristine to pretty bad so it's important to have good intelligence about where to take your pit stops. We are grateful that our guides have done the advance work even to this level of detail to direct us to the cleanest facilities.

I took these photos of the little convenience mart that was part of the gas station because the mart was different from the ones you see in the USA. Here they had freshly-baked pastries and a lot of snack items that don't look like anything recognizable. They do have some US brands like Oreos, but mostly they are all Chinese foods. Everything was spotlessly clean and there was soft oriental music playing.
