Costco!
I visited Costco yesterday! It was my first time to go there this year, even though it is only about 30 minutes away from my home (it took me longer however because I got lost, as I usually do). I was able to get my membership through my school so I only had to pay 500 dollars ($16 CAD) instead of the regular 1200 dollars ($39 CAD dollars). Yes, it was very exciting because it made feel like I was back in Canada . . . well, almost. It's mostly the same setup as Costco in Canada, with a few differences, like it's two floors instead of one, and their fast food bar serves iced coffee instead of hot coffee. I expected they would serve rice and seafood, but no, they have the same menu (hotdogs, pizza, etc.). I walked through the aisles and wanted to buy everything! It all looked so good; and it was so much cheaper than regular stores in Kaohsiung. But the problem was, I came on my scooter, so I could only buy an arm's load of stuff. I actually only ended up buying three things: shower gel, power bagels, and antipasto (mmmn!). When I was almost up to the till, I remembered that the main thing I came for was cereal. But looking at the lineup behind me I opted to go without. Yes, there were a lot of people in Costco. (I will never again complain about the crowds at Costco in Canada!) There were lots of food samples to try. . . that is, IF you could snatch up a sample quick enough. It was like a race between dozens of hands. lol. And that was if you could even get near the table, which I usually couldn't because it was too crowded. So, needless to say, I didn't get more than a couple samples. I guess I did pretty good. :-)
