A trip to the grocery store

Today my friend Charlie and I decided to make a trip to Carrefour which is basically the super target + publix combined into one and multiplied by 5. If that makes any sense (you know how I am with math...). Going anywhere in public tends to take quite a lot longer than it would in the states because there are so many people and this was no exception. But four hours later I ended up with croissants and a block cheddar cheese so it was all worth it! I think the only way to describe the experience is by pictures so enjoy!


People everywhere!



Pastries mmmm
Where's Waldo ( or Lauren...)

Couldn't even tell you what this is

Finally some food I recognize!

Meat anyone?We had no idea what this was so we asked in hopes that they would point to the part of the body that this comes from but no such luck. Our guess though was intenstines or penis...


The cheese aisle!! aka. Lauren's heaven

Chinese people cook everything in oil so its only appropriate they have an entire aisle with Costco size containers of it.

This was the 40 minute check out line..if you can call it a lineHope this gives a good feel for the craziness that is China! Love you all.
