Interesting Adventures in Grocery Shopping! I was thankful
for laughter a few days ago, but this is just something that continually pops
up. So today, I am thankful for certain adventures that make me laugh. Grocery
shopping is ALWAYS one of those adventures. This too, if you ever come to
visit, will be an experience we will take you too. You haven’t really
experienced China until you go grocery shopping.
Julie and I went to Metro (our version of Sams or Costco)
last night. As with any shopping trip, you are stared at quite a bit and they
LOVE to look in our carts to see what we are buying. This was extremely evident last night as we
were checking out. One of the things I was stocking up on way the Land O Lakes
Sharp Cheddar Cheese blocks. I haven’t seen the sharp lately, so when I saw
them I had to buy them all. The guy behind us in line starting rifling through
all of my purchases and was particularly interested in the cheese. He couldn’t
get it figured out. I don’t know exactly what he was looking for on it but it
was funny to watch. He was so intent on checking it out he didn’t notice me take
his picture. Ha! He did have a buddy with him and he noticed and tried to get
his friend to move away from my stuff, but the guy was just way to into my
cheese! I guess this is one of those “you had to be there” kind of situations,
but here is a picture of the guy nonetheless!

Jeffrey and I joke about going shopping here, that when
Aiden is older, we are going to take him to the store and tell him we are going
to the “aquarium.” They have so many different live seafood items; some (at least
to me being an American) are quite strange. Let me know what you think…and if
you would ever buy or cook these!!!

| Turtles... |
Since grocery shopping is always an adventure, there will be
many more posts in my future about these experiences…so watch out! And be
thankful today for your clean, neat and orderly grocery stores!!!!
