chinese market!

Out of curiosity we stepped into the Asian food center this morning.
The minute we stepped in it felt like I was in the middle of a vegetable market in Beijing.Chinese shoppers hustling around with big bags.They had sampler stalls every few feet with chinese women screaming and trying to attract customers to their stall.There was shrimp pancake,seaweed soup,dumplings and many exotic dishes that I dint recognize.
When I walked to the tea section I was amazed by the collection.
There was a tea for every mood and every ailment.There was super slimming tea,laxative tea(it would be evil to offer it to a normal tea drinker,I nearly picked it up),yogi tea and the list goes on.There was a loud shrill announcement in chinese,I could hear a lot of shoppers get excited by the announcement.

I spotted a pink fruit named dragon fruit just to mention one among the many exotic fruits we saw.It was a refreshing break from the mundane super market aisles.Although I was not brave enough to sample any of the food that was offered I am definitely going back for the shopping experience.

I have always envisioned how my house would look when I have one.(not that I dont live in one rite now.)I know the kind of furniture I want, the kind of lamp shades the color of walls and even the kind of paintings that are going to adorn those walls.Now I have an important inclusion to the list.I want a bird feeder.
The lady who lives next door has one in our back yard.I saw her feeding the birds a few days ago.I asked her if she fed them everyday,she said she fed them only in winter as they could fend for themselves in summer.
Ideally ,I would also want 2 dogs(ok if I have to be practical then 1 would do),a fish bowl and lots of plants.So my friend jokingly suggested that I should live at the zoo.I don't think that is a bad idea at all :).
