Shopping in USA
Danny Li, 2013-3-21
I often gave my son a ride to US in his spring break every year. In the past, We set out to Seattle in the morning and returned to Vancouver in the evening. We were very interested in shopping in US a few years ago, when we often flied to San Francisco or drove to Portland, since the road conditions were much better than nowadays, and there were less vehicles running on the No 5 highway, 120km/hr was the perfect speed to ride on No.5 freeway.
We are lazy these years, Seattle is even too far for us to drive. The No. 5 highway should have refurbished, even 70miles/hr feeling uncomfortable. There are much more vehicles than before. And there is not much difference between the cost of shopping in US and Canada, there is no need for us to buy eggs and milk by driving around.
Today, I drove my little son only to the 50 kilometres away from Vancouver, to the small town Bellingham in the Washington State, because I promised him a few days ago that I would buy him the little chicken of A&W+KFC.
We did not buy anything today except a 9 dollars cheese, the quality and price of US cheese has always been more competitive than that of Vancouver. But the French fries are not so tasty as those in Vancouver.
