grocery stores.

There is something about the smell of the fresh fruits and vegetables, the variety of pastries, and even the incomprehensible labels that make foreign grocery stores truly special. Throughout my travels I have made a point to walk into a grocery store in each location, even if nothing is purchased.  Labels that are beyond my comprehension allows me to explore the imagination, improvise if a wrong ingredient is purchased, and most importantly, it gives new perspective to the routine foods that we normally consume and purchase by stretching my taste buds. Grocery stores are truly a statement of culture.

As a side note to end on, if you ever have a chance to try a Kinder product called ‘Bueno,’ I highly recommend it. It’s found all over Europe and is by far my favorite!
