Temple of Consumer Heaven

During my year in Taiwan, getting a "basic" item (anything that can be found at Walmart) often turned into a journey involving maps, interviewing multiple locals and Google translate.  With this in mind, I devoted today to hunting down some stuff for my dorm.  

Turns out about 15 minutes walking from CFAU is one of Beijing's many multi-storied, packed to the brim, indoor shopping centers.  Ai-yao!   

In addition to the yoga mat...

and French press I never thought I would find...

It also had... 

everything...

else...

you could possibly...

want.

Plus 1, Beijing!

Fellow PiA-ers, Lily, Daniel and David, scoping out the goods :)
