Wear & tare

I love walking around ethnic markets, and there are a lot of them in the Silicon Valley. Various Latino countries, India, Korea, Japan, China—they’re all represented in large numbers around here.

(Europe and Africa would appear to not exist if you went by the types of grocery stores. Because I’m not counting Safeway for anything.)

For one thing—there are all sorts of foods I’ve never seen. And then there are various products that not only have I never seen before, I very often am completely clueless about what they might do.

I was in a Japanese store the other day, and did my usual, “Well, GAWWW-LEE!” wandering around.

I saw signs for “Kitchen Wear”, which intrigued me. 

There was so much “Kitchen Wear” that it was found in two aisles.

I was expecting things like aprons, and maybe checked trousers and clogs, but no. It was pans and storage containers and cooking utensils and the like.

(I was disappointed in the "drink", too.)

America, gonif!
