Lina in China

Chongqing has several foreign supermarkets. One of them ist he American supermarket chain „Walmart“ and one – I was surprised to learn that – is a German supermarket.

So in the morning my hosts took me to the German supermarket metro in Chongqing. They must have been guessing once more how much I was longing to see a European “longnosed” face in this strange China Adventure.

Oh how dear can be a piece of German cheese when you are so far away from home? How much can you long for some taste of home in your China Adventures.

The German supermarket in Chongqing had several German brands like “Spreewaldgurken”, “Ritter Sport”, “Spekulatius” and oh Cheese!!!!!

I got a piece of Edam Cheese that costs a fortune in China: 70 Yuan = 7€. This is even more expensive taking into account that a lawyer in Chongqing usually earns no more then 5000 Yuan (500€), A teacher maybe 3000-4000 Yuan.
