China (Suzhou): AuShan the gigantic store!

Late afternoon of yesterday, we quickly made our way to AuShan "欧尚". Recommended by one of the colleagues whom has been there for at least 1year. AuShan a hypermarket, very much similar to Carrefour or Giant in Singapore. Btw, there's a Carrefour in Suzhou as well. But it is located at New SIP, slightly farther from our new home. As we're staying at SIP, we went to nearer hypermarket which is AuShan.

We took a cab or they called "出租车" there, it's very convenient. The best part is it only costs us 10RMB ie. about $2 SGD for one-way journey. Can you imagine?? It's so cheap and really made us HAPPY:D

But Aushan is just crowded with people. You know, it's China. We could barely walk and everyone just hits each other to get through. We're so used to say "Excuse Me" in Singapore right? But in China, you can't hear anything like this. Anyway, I taught my dear daughter to be polite no matter how. So, instead of using "Excuse Me" which not many people could possibly understand, we used "借过". At least, majority of the people could understand, but it doesn't mean that they'll listen:(

Anyway, we quickly grabbed whatever items we could find and needed based on my initial list. Well, at least could tide us over for the 1st week:p
