Our trip to the Asian store...

We made a little trip to the Asian store tonight so Abhay could check out what types of Indian things they carry. It may sound odd to some of you, but most Asian stores carry products from India as well. We're used to a store in Grand Forks, with 2 dinky aisles of Indian stuff.

We were both very surprised to see that the Asian store here in Columbus carries mostly Indian stuff. (And a lot of it at that) Well, not a HUGE surprise because there is a quite large Indian population here. Abhay was in heaven, he got tuns of stuff. I found all the yummy treats that I like from India (chocolate biscuits, all sorts of cookies, kulfi, and Thumbs Up cola) . We also bought some Chinese coffee wafers, that are totally delish!

The coolest thing is that the lady that owns this store has a large collection of Hindi and Bollywood movies that she lends out to customers for free. FRRRREEEE!!You don't find that kind of trust and kindness very often. We were both shocked and appreciative. We, of course, selected a movie to watch over the weekend.

It just goes to show, kindness of strangers is so nice to experience. And finding yummy Indian food is good too. :)
