Crossover
One of the most distinctive features on the street in this part of the world (large parts of Asia, actually) is the existence of large chains of convenience stores.
The two most common hereabouts are Family Mart, which started in Japan, and 7Eleven, where the brand started in the US, but the chain is owned in Asia, and is truly enormous.
The two chains compete strongly, and are often found on opposite corners. I've seen a couple of circumstances where there are two Family Mart stores on the same block, apparently due to buyouts from smaller chains.
