grocery shopping spree~~

That day, there was an agriculture fair somewhere close to my home...i heard many times from my colleague before how great it was...basically, people will bring their the homeland specialties around china to one big location in Shanghai....wow, the thought of getting everything in just one location attracted me...hey, is that "convenience" that attracted me or 想占便宜啊？i think it was BOTH!! Coz i wanted to try to get some specialties from one location for CNY for my family and i was hoping to find something worthwhile :p before i went, i did a lot of mental planning in my head...i should go early in the morning to avoid crowd, i would find specialties i wanted and buy buy buy...so i left home at 930am...in HK, this would be too early for people but not in Shanghai...i thought i was smart enough to come early and bring a big recycle bag...but, the aunties and uncles here outdo me...they brought their trolleys instead *sweat*!!! aaarrrgghhh...it was sOOoooo crowded inside and i couldnt see anything but heads...and there was a HUGE human traffic jam...

people pushed, people knocked on you, people just came out from nowhere when you were looking at something at a stall...not only i got to see the specialties around China, i also got to experience buying in Chinese way....i quickly browsed around, found some stuff but not cheap...but i still decided to get something to get my taxi fare worthwhile....hahaha...another thing i learned in the beginning of 2012 is: ditch the thought of 想占便宜because you will be 占便宜...

i found out i paid too much for the yunan mushroom, i found i paid too much for the chinese potato noodle...oh well...everyone has their first time, right? i decided to make a pot of yummilicious hotpot of of them~~ yummy, it was really really really good~~
