Shopping in Hong Kong


There are modern grocery stores in Hong Kong. They are smaller than ShopRite, but they are filled with foods from all over the world. I was surprised to see many American products, such as Oreos, granola bars, and many of our common cereals. Many of the fruits and vegetables are imported from Australia and New Zealand.
Many people shop in the outside markets where you can find locally grown fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh seafood.

As a matter of fact, the seafood is so fresh it’s still alive! I saw fish, eels, lobsters, octopus, and sea urchins, as well as many beautiful sea shells housing live animals.
There are other types of shops too. The mall near school is very big and modern. It puts the Palisades Mall to shame! Many of the stores, such as Marks and Spencer are British. Many others, such as Bed and Bath and Sees Candies, are American. The many restaurants have food from all over the world. I've seen a French restaurant, as well as American, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Thai, and Mexican.
