Beware el corte inglés

Here is an interesting story for you.  Yesterday, I decided to skip the beach and go to the store on my own.  It was a great chance to feel like a citizen of Cádiz instead of a tourist.  I just hopped on a city bus and went to the corte inglés (imagine a wal-mart if you don't know what that is).  My "mamá española" even told me where to buy a bonobus, which is a bus pass that gets me 10 bus trips for the price of 6.

Shopping in the Corte Inglés is pretty cool.  However, when I got there it was a lot different than the others that I have been in, and was considerably more expensive than I remembered.  Within this store there is another store, called Hipercor, and I thought it was part of the same store, so I just kept passing back and forth looking for different things.  Eventually one of the store clerks noticed and thought I was stealing something (a 5 E pack of hangers), but I was going back into the store from which they had came.  Anyway, it all worked out no problems, but I thought that was rather weird to have a store within a store.

When I got done, I got on the bus going the opposite direction of what I wanted, but it was cool because I basically got a really cheap tour of a part of the city that I would never walk to.

Soon my "mamá española" is going to take me shopping with her the next time she goes.  She goes to a little arabic store and another supermarket that she says is the cheaper.  I'm really looking forward to that.

Anyway, that's all for now I just thought I would share about my adventure.  ¡Nos vemos!
