I heart Carrefour

Katie and I have been here 5 days and have been in Carrefour every single day. It helps that we live across the street from the place. Almost everything that I could possibly want lies within the four walls and two floors of the hypermart. I love Wal-Mart in the US, but the one Wal-Mart here is out in the hinterlands of Shanghai suburbia. Carrefour has adopted a much smaller footprint strategy that works in department store format. I can go there to get trash bags, bed sheets, and toilet paper as well as find diet coke and brie cheese.
