Supermarket & Game day #4

 Mmmm Vacuum packed squid!

This morning at our on ice skating session  we did some relay races - North America vs the Europeans & Chinese. On the line was the losers have to sing a nursery rhyme in front of the group at our next meeting. I think we really won, but Stacey wanted us to have to sing. That is ok though, we came up with a great song to sing in both English and French (for the French Canadians). I can't put what it is on here though because some of the others might be reading this blog. You'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out, ha ha.

After our ice session Kate and I decided to go to Wanda Plaza. Wanda Plaza is a mall with a grocery store/wal-mart type store in the basement. We walked around the mall a little bit just to see what was there and then went to buy a few things at the supermarket. The sanitary conditions at this supermarket in the meat and fish department are definitely not what they are in the U.S. Basically all of the meat and fish sit out unwrapped on ice in the open air and people pick up and handle it until they decide which piece they want to buy. There was also some interesting meat products that you would never see in the U.S. - pigs heads, pigs feet, full chickens head and all, live turtles, etc. So gross.

After our mall trip we headed to the rink via taxi for my game. Don't ask. But during our my ride I saw a two tanks parked in front of a building and a giant boat that looked like it had been used to launch missiles or something on the top, it was empty but it was scary seeing this on the side of a busy public road. When we got to the rink the haze in the arena was especially thick. It must have been a bad day for pollution all around, the mall had a haze in it as well. I worked my game Japan vs. Canada. It was a pretty good game, Canada won 4-1.  Tomorrow we have the day off and then the semifinals are on Thursday. 

i will post supermarket pictures later!
