i visited the newly-opened supermarket this lovely evening, and woah does it have some neat stuff!

the person in charge of it all had obviously decided to classify the goods into different origin countries.

and so, there i was, looking at 'liberty market' and 'australian section'. why the american section deserved an entire different name of its own is beyond me, but perhaps its less of the special priority handed off to the american section, and more of lack of inspiration in terms of naming the other sections.

besides, that name isn't even unique! its the name of this american supermarket in singapore. perhaps fairprice is in for a huge lawsuit of sorts? we'll see.

another funny thing was, on the big signboard proclaiming 'Australian Section' was a glorious view of the harbor. it looked splendid, mounted on a wooden board. perfect, almost, save for one thing. it wasn't australian.

in the middle of the board as the picture of the auckland city sky tower, and in front of it, was the air new zealand building.

i rest my case.
