Grocery Store time :)

These are here to he eaten!
This is how you buy your meat, it's just hanging in clumps....
This was right above the little bins where you serve yourself candy, kind of like in Top Foods.  A lot of the candies here are little cups of jello, I tried a strawberry one and it was good, but not quite satisfying as a "treat".  Apparently, the jello treats can be dangerous.
Ha ha ha weighting station!
Yummo!  Eels for dinner.
Yummy, yummy KINDER!
May I remind you, this picture was not taken at a pet store, instead, at the grocery store in the produce section.  Pick the best one and cook 'im for dinner!
Again, another dinner eentre.
Me and the fish butcher :)
Guts, blood, fins and heads-what more could you ask for?!
You think they'd have a native English speaker check their signs before printing....
Dried starfish!!  
If you don't want fresh butchered fish, you can opt for the dried fish in a basket.
This is a basket of very expensive, dried baby shrimp.
Gum here gets soft and wet very quickly, so the Chinese bottle their gum in medicine-looking bottles to keep the moisture out, so the check out line actually looks like a mini pharmacy.
We see Chinese girls carry things like this all the time!  It's also very common for girls who are JUST friends to walk down the street holding hands.  This is Mandy and I carrying our new microwave back to apartment.

  1. Oh Em you are a trooper! If I were there I would probably be hanging out at the local McDonalds restaurant and would eat every meal there! I can not even begin to imagine eating turles, frogs or eel for dinner! Aren't those suposed to be pets? It looks like you are having a great time and enjoying all the new sights, smells, traditions and people in China! We are thrilled for you! Hugs...The LeBaron Family :-}
