Merry Xmas? Is it Christmas eve yet in the U.S.? Well, I can't tell by it here except for the supposed "on sale" stuff everywhere. Mom and I went to one of the new American-style supermarkets that's popped up everywhere in China these last couple of years. It was very amusing and eerily familiar: the push-carts, the sidewalk "parking lot" just for bikes, the underground lot for cars...

Final tally (all numbers in RMB's)
* white formal hair clip - 35
* grey pants - 143
* jeans - 79 (Finally, the right price range for clothing.)
* "New Police Story" for [insanejournal.com profile] cashew - 8.90
* <<黑猫警长>> 上&下 - 16.80 each
* <<哪吒闹海>> - 14.80
* slippers - 12.90
* a sample of rabbit meat (haunch portion) - 4.14
* Snoopy wallet - 18

The VCD movies are so very expensive because they aren't bootleg versions. I figured that the later two titles are probably pretty hard to find on the bootleg market, so I might as well pick 'em up as I see them.

I also wanted to find net access today to at least log on a Holiday's greeting or something, but Mom was not compliant. Blast. So far I haven't even found a net bar yet. Though... at least I'm either too busy or distracted to have withdrawal (yet).
