"Walking into a Japanese convenience stores. They are amazing. My local 7-Eleven has sticky floors and gross looking pre-packaged sandwiches. The 7-Elevens in Japan are squeaky clean and have a great selection of gourmet, prepackaged lunches and dinners. Not only do they have a cold drink section, they have a special heated unit for hot drinks."
Obviously you weren't blessed with an overabundance of schooling. In Nordic countries it is common for mothers to leave their infants out in the cold even to sleep. They also have one of the strictest immigration policies and do not admit refuges unlike the Netherlands and check out how those countries are doing. Not well.
In Western Australia it’s 2,200 miles from Kununurra to Augusta, and you don’t even leave the state

Number 26. Albania is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Chain stores don't try as the local governments and crime thugs try to extort incredible amounts of money for them to open then demand "protection" money after that. I spoke with a gentleman who owns 17 Jack in the Box fast food places here in Vegas and I asked him about opening stores in Europe or Asia and he just shook his head and talked about how in he was visiting in Eastern Europe and thought about doing just that as he figured he would have al ock on it. THEN he found out why. They told him about FEES in addion to "Inspectors' and the people in the office were honest enough to tell him Albanian mafie would demand huges amount of money to start building as they controlled all the building in the city and then would demand protection moey from American business'. Later as he spoke to other businessmen he said no one wants to build in these Eastern countries because they are totally controlled by criminal organazations.
And even thought Putin taking back these countries and putting them under the old Soviet Bloc would take care of all the local mobsters and maybe they could do business there. They ACTUALLY supported Putin doing this.
I live in Norway, in one of the "big" cities here(I realize that a city with a pop under 300k isn't, on an international scale, BIG, but it's one of the biggest we have :P ). A few years ago, the municipality refurbished one of the bus stations here, including building 3 bathrooms with a toilet, a sink and a baby changing station, which were free to use for anyone.
Not ONE WEEK after opening, they closed the bathrooms. Why? Because some feckless d1ckh3@ds went out of their way to destroy the bathrooms beyond repair. Mirrors and wall tiles were smashed, sinks were ripped out of the walls, exposing the water pipes so it was flooded, baby changing stations and toilets were demolished into dust, TP and soap dispensers were destroyed, and they had shat and pissed on the floors for good measure. The ones responsible were never caught.
It took 3-4 months for the municipality to clean it up and rebuild the bathrooms, and when they opened again you'd have to pay ~$2 to use them. Also, to further prevent having to repair more than necessary, on the second time around they went for that "prison look": Steel toilet with no ring, same for the sink and dispensers and sh!t. No baby station, as there isn't one of those that is immune to vandalism, and they had to cut so much into their operating budget in order to rebuild, that they could no longer afford heating. So now, you pay ~$2 for freezing your @$$ of on a steel toilet.
