Breaking news! In the three weeks we were gone in Thailand, a REAL grocery store has opened in our apartment complex. Okay, its vegetable section consists of onions, carrots, potatoes, and Chinese cabbage, but it ALSO has tomatoes and cucumbers. And fresh bread. And several hunks of cheese for sale, too. It's still not the relative "plenty" we see at the main market downtown, but when it's MINUS 28 C outside, I'll take it!
Oh, and they were blasting ABBA on their high tech stereo system. Really now, what else could you ask for?
Green onions, maybe.
