Exhausted!!

I just got back from the grocery store and I am exhausted. Now one of two things is going through your mind right now.
1. She is a wimp!
2. What in the world does it look like to go to the Grocery store that causes such exhaustion :-)

So hopefully it is #2... allow me to explain what going to the Grocery store looks like in Hengyang. Step by Step--
1. Walk to the bus stop (I go to the front gate and get tea on the way)- 10-12 minutes
2. Get on a bus (anywhere from 10-17 minute ride)
3. Get off bus and walk for roughly 15-20 minutes to the supermarket.
4. Get all items on list (make sure you don't forget anything!!)
5. Hopefully you brought your own bags (I do) Load up all 5 bags and put them on your shoulders.
6. Walk back to catch the bus (15-20 minutes)
7. Flag bus down
8. Ride to appropriate stop (10-17 minutes)
9 Carry bags down the alley and up the stairs to apartment.

The whole trip can take any where from 2-3 hours. This morning it was a 3 hour trip. Below is a picture of the items I bought and carried back :-)

  1. Happy to see you picked up ice cream flavored oreos. It's worth the trip for those delicacies.

  2. Brother & Sister, you may consider to have two bicycles now, ohhh, that might not be a good idea, they may be stolen pretty soon...
