Ali and I decided to pick up Chinese food and diet coke for dinner. It was kind of late but Ali told me the Jewish supermarket stayed open later than the others and it was right by the Chinese food place. I suggested we get the diet coke first, but Ali thought it’d be easier to carry the Chinese food, so we headed there first.
Naturally, we got back to the Jewish supermarket right as the employee was locking the gate out front. I let out a very audible sigh of disappointment and the women pointed down the block in response. Ali and I thought maybe there was another entrance still open, there wasn’t, or that there was another store down the block, there wasn’t one of those either.
We ended up wandering back to our apartment and ended up finding an ABC on our street a few blocks down. We successfully got our diet coke there (where we overheard some other foreigners talking about how good vodka and coke is. I thought this was weird since soda was like my first mixer ever and it struck me as sad that someone actually had to be told this). For the record, an ABC here is just a small general store, although it does sell alcohol, it's not a liquor store like the ones at home.
