Shopping Is Different
Shopping in Asia is different from shopping in the United States. This is why.
In the United States in most cities people go to big supermarkets like Walmart and Stop and Shop but in Asia it is different. In Asia people go to the market every day because there are no refrigerators and they think the food is healthier and fresher. At the market there are tons of tiny stands with people selling stuff. It is often easy to get around in a market because it is usually in categories. Fish is in one section and vegetables are in another. There is also a bigger variety of things. These are the ways that Asian Markets are better than ones in the United States.
There are also some reasons that the stores in the United States are better than in Asia. In Asia you have to pay each individual person. In the U.S. you can walk around a grocery store with a cart and only pay once. We have cars in the United States and we can go to the grocery store once a week and store it in our refrigerator, too. These are the ways the grocery stores in the United States are better than the ones in Asia.
I have been to both the markets in Asia and the markets in the United States but I like Asian markets better because they have the most interesting things like pig noses and tails, chicken heads, and other things.

Sterling, you do a great job with your blog. The Asian shopping sounds fascinating. I hope you bought some fun stuff:) What about the food? Is it good? What is the most unusual thing you have eaten? Are you anadventuresome eater? Edward won’t try anything that looks different…he might go hungry in Asia!
Fourth grade is back in session. Basketball is the sport right now. We play other teams. I never see the girls play because they are usually the same time as the boys games.
keep up your great writing!
