Curious, why would you walk several kilometers to Walmart to shop? Isn't there Taobao or other shops?

The variety of goods in convenience stores is limited and the price is higher compared with Wal-Mart.

I only buy what are not available in stores on Taobao.

(就是些土特产、动画周边什么的，毕竟淘宝物流运输到收货站需要三四天，普通商品还不如去线下买)

附近的沃尔玛还和电影院很近，所以经常也是顺路去。

It can be fascinating watching some videos of people walking in US stores and fast food places throughout the world as you seem to notice how things are the same to an unexpected degree. The above sign mentions USDA meat...as if that actually means anything in a foreign country? That's like seeing a sign "Japanese DA" meat in a US store. Is that supposed to make me feel better or something?

The guy walks in the bakery aisle and there's croissant, muffins, bagels, and the peanutbutter/raisin/ chocolate chip cookies combo box.

Then of course you see people wearing blue jeans and sneakers (even some Timberland yellow boot types).
