first trip to the [Chinese] grocery store

The day after we arrived in China we took off to stock up at the grocery store.

We brought our "Ayi" Joyce with us (below) to show us the ropes:

I don't have a picture of the live fish who jumped out of it's fish tank and splashed the kids but here's a video the kids took with my camera a split second after.  Their voices tell the story of how un-used to this kind of thing they are...we need to work on that a tad bit...:

It was all so foreign to us then but now after a week and a half it's starting to feel a little more normal.
We have been able to find some great things we like, but it's still a work in progress!
