Unrefrigerated milk and other fine foods

Day 6

Today I bought shelf life milk because I have decided that I never want to set foot in Carefour again.  It is a black hole; I go in to just buy milk and don't come out till an hour later.    Becca actually got lost in a carrefour for 20 minutes, which shows that I am not the only one who finds their labyrinth impossible to navigate.  Also, they have people yelling out advertisements at each section and the first time I went in I thought someone was being massacred in the soy sauce aisle.  

Anyway, there is a nice organic-and-therefore-more-expensive store across the street, but I think I am willing to pay more, and drink shelf life milk, in exchange for my sanity.  

Tonight I went to Guijie food street after work to get out of the apartment and walk around.  The entire street is festooned with luminous red and orange lanterns so the entire area kind of glows.    I had read up in my camera manual a bit about night shooting and so I wanted to go test out my new skills here.  Unfortunately, almost immediately my camera died, but I was able to find new batteries after a couple of attempts at convenience stores (one of which turned out to be a porn store actually...which it took me wayyy to long to figure out. embarrassing).   

I got a few pictures that turned out decent, but I still feel like I can't capture exactly the way things look, even with my new snazzy camera.  Tomorrow I will read the manual more, because as mom says: you can learn everything from the manual;this is why men do not succeed, they throw the manual away.
