Grocery Shopping Time! Everything is similar if not the same. Instead of French there is Chinese or Bahasa Malaysian.

There are lots of cleaning products; (Good thing because there are lots of maids. I saw one woman taking her new maid shopping while I was at the store. She was pointing out all of the types of food her family likes to eat so the maid will know what to buy.) I've never had a persimmon (might be time to try them); I'm not a papaya fan, but they are pretty; there are about five different kinds of pineapples here (who knew?); lots of lettuce; a huge selection of wine (it is as expensive as home); huge big fish (ick); lots of beer (the imported beer is way more expensive than the local or SE Asian beer) and as many types of mushrooms as the heart desires. Conversion is 3 Malaysian Ringgits to 1 CAD.
