7 Eleven

If you've ever been to Hong Kong, you know that there is a convenience store practically every block. More often than not, there two within a few paces of each other.

Happy Valley is home to Hong Kong's first-ever 7 Eleven, which opened something like 40 years ago. (I took a photo of the plaque commemorating the store's historic significance, but it didn't turn out and, well, I'm in Portland right now, so "something like 40 years ago" will have to suffice.)

The store sits in front of the Happy Valley tram terminus. To the right is a day spa, to the left is a Japan Home store where you can buy cheap housewares.
