Wal-mart, Honolulu



The first Wal-Mart (or Walmart) outlet that I have been to is the one located on Keamoku Street, Honolulu (Hawaii) - just a short walk from Ala Moana Shopping Center.

I remember having been very exited at that time even though I have been to similar retailers like Carrefoure (French), Tesco (British retailer), Audi (German retailer).
I have read a lot about Wal-Mart in text books - its humble beginnings, the story of Sam Walton (the founder) and his noble intentions for starting the business (providing affordable goods to not-so-wealthy people), etc
What really caught my attention was the lingerie section - multiple sizes and colours;-)

Cute "panda kamasutra /sex positions" coffee mug:D


A very cute coffee mug! :D
For the past 3 years I had been searching everywhere (Ebay, Etsy, Amazon, Google/Yahoo shopping) for this "panda kamasutra" coffee mug but haven't found it :/
  

Chinatown Pavillion Restaurant (now closed :( )


I miss Chinatown Pavillion (near Broadway-Lafayette in NYC) :( too bad it's no longer in business. It was one of the best restaurants for chinese food, better than a lot of other places in Flushing & Chinatown (Manhattan). Went there back in 2011 when they had the Restaurant Week prix-fixe dinner, and we had lobster & scallops stir-fry & appetizers and dessert

Buñuelo (cheese balls)




 
Came across the best buñuelos I've ever had - at La Sabrosura Bakery in Astoria.
