Sm Shopping Mall. Where a western feels at home.

23/02/2014 - Today I went to SM shopping mall, the biggest mall in town. It’s not so far from the university, if you are lucky. You have to take bus 751, get off at 后方站 (you have to tell the bus driver that you don’t go in the city centre, because if you go through the tunnel it’s 2 RMB, if you stay in Xiang’an it’s just 1 RMB). From this stop you can take the bus 780, go through the tunnel (so this time is 2 RMB) and get off at 白果站 (something like this). I went around looking for some clothes to buy, but I didn’t want to waste money on clothes now, maybe later on. Then I went to Walmart, and I bought some things for the room. I needed some pens, a mouse, food, something to clean the apartment and so on. I found a bottle of sparkling water, directly from Italy: San Benedetto. It was quite expensive, 6.8 RMB (usually here a small bottle of water is 1 RMB at the supermarket), but I preserve for a special event (like a bottle of Champagne, ah-ah). I also bought Pan di Stelle biscuits, and they were not so expensive actually, just like Oreo, or maybe something less. I put all my shopping in my backpack and I came back, this time with bus 758. Remember, when you come back get off at 林前站, because sometimes bus drivers change route and don’t stop at 后方站.  Going shopping is so tiring!
