@bobkitty @namelus I am sure I could do better food shopping in this town if I spoke either Chinese or Russian or Arabic or Hindi… alas not likely to happen… But the merchants still do business with me even if perhaps i dont get the exact same bargain as someone from the neighborhood. Still cheap. Shopping in large Chinese supermarkets is really interesting and fun. I remember a story one immigrant told me of buying a can with a picture of a pie on the can. He opened it expecting to find pie or some other pastry. But it was a can of Crisco!
