It's true, I'm not living in total depravity over here...after all, I live within walking distance to TWO Walmarts. These Walmarts have brought great comfort to me and I appreciate Walmart here in a way that I never have in the U.S. If there was no Walmart (which after this month will be my life as I move to a different city in Chn) I would have to run around to various open markets and random stores to buy my goods. It would take twice as long and require eight times as much language skills. The Walmart offers connivence and an odd sense of comfort as it reminds me of home (although I really don't shop at Walmart at home). This all being said, don't be tricked into thinking that I waltz into Walmart and waltz out with Mac N Cheese. The exterior is the Walmart of America, but the interior is the food preferences of Cha. I wanted to take all of my readers at home on a trip through Walmart Chn.
Shrimp and unidentified eggs.
I'm not really sure what this is...it's dried meat I guess? It's not in a cooler so I don't know.
Yum... bloody fish heads.
These are the times when I'm glad that I can't read Chns... what is that?
It gives me great sorrow to tell you that these sweet frogs are not in the pet department... This is the meat department : ( Jump away, they're going to eat you!!!
For those that can't take the blood, there is plenty of dried meats
I don't know what this is... the label says "laver' is that English? What is "laver"? Do I eat laver?
More Ramen noodles than you can try in a lifetime! This is where I spend a lot of time... MSG is so good!
I had to reinforce some stereotypes right? There is A LOT of rice.... these bags are the size of large bags of dog food at home.
And my favorite... Oreo's!!! There are tons of flavors! Bill and I had The Great Oreo Tasting Party while watching movies on Christmas this year. I am disappointed to say that we both only liked the original flavor. The other ones had a weird aftertaste.
