I'm beginning to understand...

So today Chase and I did some shopping. I am still amazed by the cheapness of the food here.
Case in point:
Look at what you can get for 12.6 RMB ($1.83): A full week's worth of vegetables, seen below.
Very delicious and fresh...literally straight from the fields to our refrigerator.
For the same price you can get some delicious American food...but something just isn't quite right. Notice the quantity...
And we wonder why the Chinese are so thin and American's...aren't.

That's a cool picture of the veggies! Where is that - you're apartment? I think you have your priorities right going with the goodies, too! Think about you often. Dad Williams
