Tesco!

Well today the three of us slept in, I really think we all needed it big time. We decided that we would do one of two things today, head down to the Tesco market (the Penang answer to Wal-Mart) and get some stuff we needed, or head to the wet market and browse around...We decided on the Tesco, Roxanne decided to drive which was very cool, no cab meant no hassle, however we left way to late and may not be able to get a parking space. We were off anyway, the traffic down was a nightmare, it too us almost an hour to get there. we did find a place to park! hooray us!! Now the Tesco is something you have to experience first hand. Although I said its like Wal-Mart, only in its size and types of merchandise, you can antifreeze/coolant and frozen peas, motor oil and olive oil, however it differs from Wal-Mart in that you will find things that here would be more likely to be in a flea market. Off brand DVD's, items that had been open, used and then sealed and put back...The produce is also something closer to a street market than a true grocery store, whole chickens just laying out on ice, fish sold the same way, there were freezer cases full of loose french fries that you had to scoop into your own bag...and the smells were intoxicating (at times nauseating) from the fresh fruit, to the fish, to the veggies...it was an experience all its own!! We spent about two hours wandering and getting what we needed. Then we got some Pizza Hut, (could be worse) and headed home, the ride back was better as far as traffic, and part of it I filmed with my phone, got home and set it to music, I think it is cool, but I cant seem to put it up on here. so if you really want to see it I can figure on a way to get it to you or its up on Facebook. So we got home and we were supposed to meet with a possible candidate for domestic help, she was supposed to be by at 5:00pm, but we never saw her or heard from her...not sure what happened, but we both hope that everything is ok with her...we will see if she thought it was Sunday, and make sure that we are around tomorrow at the same time. Oh also this morning Brenna got to Skype with her cousins, that was very cool. We also got to see Marc and Nele and the Baby, but only for a minute or two before our connection started to go crazy and then Brian got ahold of us, and then Poppy and Diane were on...We never got back to Marc...Sorry my friend...we will catch up to you!! promise!!. I am not sure if I put it in yesterdays blog, but Brenna got to Skype with her class from Florida last night, that was fun, but she is such a ham...and she loves to ham it up for the boys!! Anyway, quiet dinner at home tonight and everyone is getting ready for bed...Tomorrow is "the Soccer Experience" in the morning, and then we will be going down into Georgetown to walk around and shop for Mothers Day!! Happy early Mothers Day to all the moms out there!! Well off to bed!! night all!! until tomorrow!!
