Supermarket

Super- Not-Market... Unbelievable how expensive all european products are in Hong Kong. Everything I love to eat costs a fortune. Cheese is about 5 times as expensive, same with all milk products. Normal mozarella(not buffallo) for 56 HKD which is about 5,60€. 500g of Plain white yoghurt costs between 4 and 6 € and a little piece of Brie cheese nearly 7 €.... 'German' bread is nearly impossible to find (In HK toast is defined as bread), and if you find a bakery..oh wonder... it's really expensive.. At least fruit is rather cheap. Althaugh it strongly depends where you buy it. After a first shock about the smell I nearly only buy fruit etc in the chinese markets. There is a small language barrier between me and the sales people but everyone is really nice and helpful so sign language is enough to communicate. The smell is incredibly disgusting. While supermarkets in europe smell of nothing(very interesting! pay attention to that next time you go grocery shopping) the chinese markets smell of food. You can buy nearly anything there from the mentioned fruit and vegetables to meat and fish and spices etc. But nothing is packed in plastic and althaugh fresh and clean it just has a very intense smell.. I'll add pictures in later...
