T&T!!!!

So... as mentioned in my earlier post, i went to take a drive up to T&T (a chinese supermarket) and loaded up on some familiar chinese groceries!!

I swear to god.. i literally poo'ed myself when i saw the sign pulling into the parking lot....

You can only imagine how i felt when i walked into the little mall.. and saw T&T!!!! my brain was exploding!! i was so happy!! You must be thinking.. wtf?! why are you so excited??  I think it's simply because it's something that didn't feel so foreign to me.. It reminds me of home.. and it makes me feel comfortable.. :) Seeing stores like H&M, Aldo, Forever 21.. etc..those stores don't make me feel the same way because they're available even in the states.. so stores like that don't make me feel like i'm at home..I've only ever been to  T&T (for me at least) in toronto.. so therefore... HOME!!!!

 After walking up and down every single aisle (not even kidding).. my little rolling basket was FULL.. can't really tell from the angle, but i was playing a balancing game with the pack of noodles there!


All of my groceries laid out nicely :) I got some goodies like my yakult drinks...my chiense bakery raisin buns.. and edamame... mmmm yummy.. and dumplings!! and rice noodle rolls.. ahh.. i miss my mom's cooking!

and it's a white guy cashing me out... at an asian supermarket... a little strange..but a job's a job! i salute him!! at least he doesnt have to deal with Toronto asians... they can be feisty.. people here seem to be very calm and... not crazy..

ME + CHINESE GROCERIES + CHINESE PRICES = HAPPINESS

Saturday so far....

So! It's the weekend! yay! feels good.. work has been really busy.. (but really liking it so far).. I don't know if i even mentioned ever what i'd be doing..

I'm here to train people on a technology called SharePoint... customized and basic training.. thats all in a nutshell!

Anyway, i rented a car and decided to drive to the mall :) YAY! retail therapy! I rented a Ford Focus.. lol :) It's down the street from me so it's pretty easy to get there...  I have some SHAKY videos for you to watch too...

so after i finished shopping... i drove home!



So i'm at home now.. its about 4:30pm.. im going to go to T&T to go grocery shopping!!! IM SO EXCITED to see all these familiar chinese groceries!! :) Will maybe do a video.. depending on how many people there are.. but i'll take some pics maybe!! will post later!
