Foreign Goods Aplenty

There is this supermarket, the "New World Supermarket," close to my apartment. It is, in short, an inexhaustible well of foreign goods. It was quite an experience perusing the different products available. I was simultaneously drooling over potential meals I could cook and balking at the exorbitant prices. Upon closer inspection, though, there were some reasonable deals.

Here is some of the brands/products available:

• High-grade imported spirits like Grey Goose Vodka
• Imported beer like MGD and Erdinger
• Old El Paso
• Real bacon (both back and regular)
• Huge bags of basmati rice
• Italian espresso
• Indian tea
• French and Italian wine
• Vegemite
• Black Forest Honey ($30 for like 250 ml)
• and a lot of Indian food items...

It's definitely a luxury to be able to buy pretty much anything, although I'd still rather go to the more "local" merchants for the necessities.
