Although we have lived in this condo complex for 7 months now, it was only yesterday that I learned about the mini-mart located in the basement car-park (as they like to call parking lots here) of the clubhouse. Since we don't have a car, I've never had a reason to visit the car-park. But yesterday I heard a rumor that there was a little store right here in our condo complex and after some investigation, the rumor turned out to be true!
It may not look like much to you, but if you could have seen the jig I danced when I discovered this goldmine, you would know how exciting this news is to this convenience-loving American. The best part: they sell ice cream, which I have not been able to buy due to the warm weather, 20-minute bus-ride and 1/2-mile hike home from the regular grocery store. Hooray for convenience stores, ice cream, and basement car-parks!

hooray! glad for your fun discovery. i can only imagine how much easier this makes the day-to-day aspect of life for you.
Dear Daughter.. I am doing a jig with you! I am incredibly pleased that you won't have to make the trek to the regular mart so often!
Hip-Hip-Hooray!!!
Eat ice cream until your lips turn blue!
Boy, I bet you were "happy camper" when you saw that store!!!! Sure am happy for you (and Caleb) that you don't have to spend the day to go and get a loaf of bread!!! Know where you'll be going every day...icecream, here we come!!!
yeah for ice cream! Isn't interesting how time changes our perspective. Take Cate
haha you're going to gain weight again now:P
jk, i'm glad you found that!!
What a simple, yet amazing discovery! Having a store close by and convenient to get to is something we definitely take for granted here in the states!
(P.S., I hope the name of that mart doesn't identify your location... you can't be too careful)
Yay for mini-marts!
