We live in a small town. It may not be the smallest in size, but there is NOTHING western about our town. The largest grocery stores are basically like a 7-11 in the US.
So when we heard that a big new "Wal-mart-like" store was coming to town, we have all been waiting with bated breath. It opened this past weekend and we arrived just after the opening ceremonies finished. Notice the clean shiny floor, the tiles that all match and that are all the same level. Notice the tall shelves in the background PACKED with food. Notice the cash registers with people really working at them! So so many things that I've never bothered to even think about buying before (=

This was the place we parked. We drove past all the cars that were stacking up on the edge of the full parking lot...they were starting to pile up in the sand. We took a chance and drove to the other half of the parking lot and found it...empty (= So classic. People just take the first entrance and don't bother to look for the next entrance. We were just happy for good parking!
Little town....you will never be the same again!!
