Very long day that started too early but hopefully won't end too late, I'm tired and my feet hurt.

Ty and I discovered that the best way to kill time while doing cardio at the gym is to get one of the machines with a TV in it, then watch a show about real estate or renting with no audio and come up with outrageous ideas and theories and opinions about everyone on the show. Hell, it made my 30 mins on the cross-trainer fly by.

Afterward we hit up Sun Wah, my favorite cheap-as-hell Asian grocery store. Check out these sweet scores:
The gyoza are always on sale, 3 bags for 10$. Can't go wrong, right?

All this ish cost under 30$, the gyoza being the most expensive. I also got us a bottle of red iced tea and some BBQ pork buns to have on the way home. Cheeeeeeeeeeeap! The one in Winnpeg is located in Chinatown (duh) on King St by Higgins Ave.

I've noticed that since the new Lucky Asian Market opened up -which I have yet to visit since it's not conveniently near downtown- Sun Wah has been stepping up their game a bit; getting fancier lighting, a new and more crisp layout, and giving away free snacks and candies:
Who says no to red bean candies, right?Well... upon inspection (and a test by Ty) we realized why they were being given away: the wax paper was practically glued onto the candy and impossible to remove.
Oh, good.
What a waste.
