Tesco journey

After waiting for a house guest to leave I finally set out with grocery list in hand to get some more food for the apartment.  The Tesco store (which is a lot like Costco back home, only a 5 floor mall as well, which is really easy to get lost in, as at times you walk in circles being unable to read the signs and all) is just around the corner from our apartment which is extremely convenient.  I made it across the very busy street, sometimes it feels like real life "frogger" (you know that wicked 80's atari game!) the way these cars and scooters drive. I nearly made it to the front doors when I was approached by several ladies talking to me in Chinese giving me random flyers. I tried to say no, but they were insistent and started rushing me towards the mall. We finally got to this little shop and opened a door. I was really hesitant but they started rushing me behind the door to a little white room.  Two ladies got me to lay down, and told me "no money" so I trusted them. It turns out it was a massage shop and they gave me a facial massage.  It would have been quite enjoyable if the situation to get me there wasn't so overwhelming.  So once they finished, I rushed out of the room and tried to find my way to the grocery part of the mall.

Wondering in circles for about half of an hour I found where I was going and gathered most of the food on the list.  Still a little taken back from the events earlier I was looking forward to getting home and relaxing on the couch with a snickers bar... and thats exactly what I did.
