It is, hands down, THE quickest way to get to grips with the differences and similarities in any culture. When visiting any place, if I have a chance to hit the supermegahypermarket, I will always go for a bit of tourist shopping. (You can buy canned pork brains from the Piggly Wiggly nearest my house back in Mississippi.) Therefore, I love supermarkets. An entire culture under one roof. But I love them less when they are packed with people. I also dislike crowded markets since, er, I hate crowds. And, hey, 24 hours! (Except on Sundays due to the ass backward Sunday shopping laws here.) > supermarket. I hate that the vegetables are ridiculously expensive > yet not as fresh as the ones I get in the market. I hate everything > being wrapped in plastic, and I hate all the fish being rectangular. I hear you on the veg, but I have a huge huge mental problem with whole dead fish, so sadly I am also overjoyed at rectangular fish. I can see both sides to this issue, really. I can say that selection in supermarkets the world over seem to be getting better in terms of organic/free-range/blah-de-blah selection, for which I thank them. And shop from them. candaceThere's stuff above here
