Talked with my mom today on Skype, Hi Mom! And then I went to Vanguard to do the mundane job of grocery shopping. I had to get out of the house and today was a good day to do that the weather was warmer than it has been in awhile and I was actually wishing that I hadn’t been so through at bundling up. I had an ‘AHA’ moment today when getting sugar, white and brown. I know the name for sugar ‘tang’ 糖 and white is ‘bai’ 白 and brown 棕 is so put them together and you get the item you are looking for and you can get help with what you are looking for too! I also meet someone online at one of my writing places. She was born in China but now lives and works in Canada. We have been writing back and forth and our messages are in English and Chinese. While at the store I didn’t see any picture worthy foods so perhaps next time. It’s really funny I got a text message while in the store and was going to read it, anytime a foreigner breaks out their cell phone it is usually for a translator and mine was just to read a text. The ladies in the isle where I was came towards me to help me (thinking I wanted something and was translating it) and were disappointed when after reading the text I moved on. Wooops sorry ladies but they did help me to find the color safe bleach that has English on it “BLEACH” and it has colorful clothing on the picture…DUH.
