Waitrose is here!

I really want to get some shopping in – I could do with a local SIM card and probably want to get some milk and coffee rather than use the teeny rations they give you in hotel rooms. I find the SIM, which is great, and then drawn strangely to a contact lens place where you don't need a prescription: Vision Express wouldn't give me more lenses in the UK, so I took advantage of this place and bough a year's worth! Well, I got a free umbrella with the purchase.

With my brolly and backpack full of lenses, I head to this Cold Storage shop that is supposed to be like a supermarket catering for mainly ex-pats, so I go check it out, just thought I’d get some milk, juice, water etc and I see the Waitrose aisle! How fucking fantastic – there’s not even a Waitrose in Streatham Hill, yet there are Waitrose goods in Kuala Lumpur!



I buy Waitrose filter coffee, but I seriously doubt on this occasion that I have never knowingly been undersold…
