We’ve been here for almost three months and the novelty of many things has worn off.But when we go out and about, I am still taken aback by just how many 7-Elevens there are here.
They are everywhere.
It’s not uncommon to stand on a street corner and be able to see two 7-Elevens at the same time. This phenomenon has given rise to 7-Eleven Bingo. As we walk the city, we try to find locations where we can see more than one 7-Eleven. Seeing two at once has become so passé, we don’t even bother to point it out any more. If we really want to impress each other, we need to be able to point out three from one spot.
The girls and I are on a quest to find that location in Hong Kong from which you can see four 7-Elevens.
We are convinced that this mythical location –like Yeti- is actually out there, somewhere waiting for us to find it.
We’ll keep looking and we won’t rest until we’ve found it.

Note: On July 11, (get it? seven-eleven), 2006 the company opened its 711th (get it? seven-eleven) store in Hong Kong.
