Shopping in Germany!

We were finally able to go up to Germany to get groceries! I should've taken pictures but I was too lazy to...and once we got into the supermarket (Kaufland), we were rushing around too much for me to take photos. But Kaufland is the German equivalent of Superstore in Calgary, they mainly sell food and it's akin to a huge warehouse. The next time I go I'll try to take pictures.

The prices were SO cheap compared to the stores here in Baden, a whole shopping cart of canned goods, meat, etc was just a little over 100 euros! In Switzerland, we would pay the same amount for maybe a third of what we got today.

We forgot to get some tax form from the cashier so we ended up paying about 10 euros in taxes, but we'll try to claim them back next time. Hopefully it'll work. That cashier lady looked very unhappy when we showed up to her aisle with a huge cartload of stuff, the store was close to closing as well. >.<

Their conveyer belts are at most 2/3 the size of the ones at Superstore though. Maybe they should invest in larger ones. It was difficult loading stuff into our bags because we bought so much. We also bought 3 bottles of wine lol. Two of them were ~2 euros each :P

What was even better about this trip was that we got to Waldshut and back for free. Because of my Gleis7 pass, I don't have to pay for trains and certain buses after 19:00. The view while going to Waldshut was just stunning, the train passes by a huge river (the Bow river looks like a stream compared to this), and there's so much forest everywhere.

In time I will post up pictures of this. I'll also post a tour of the apartment I live in, and a little bit of info regarding where I work! All in due time...

I will be heading to Bern tomorrow, the capital city of Switzerland (not Zurich)!
