A "BIG" new supermarket opens in Fukuoka






Name of the new supermarket is "Big"! Indeed it is really big and opened yesterday amid a rising Covid-19 in Japan.
We were there at 8.45 am but the place was very crowded and the parking area was full. We had to park our car 200m away in another carpark and walked to Big.
There were many discounted fruits, vegetables, fish, meat etc. on its opening day. We bought fish which was so fresh (1 kg at S$13) that we could have it as sashimi. The 8 kg watermelon was Yen 983 Yen (S$13) and we bought 2. In the night,we visited Big again and got ourselves some futomaki, yakisoba, okonomiyaki etc at a hefty 50% discount for supper and the next day's breakfast.
It looks like Big is going to be one of our favorite supermarkets.

No social distancing?

There was so much excitement that the Japanese
ignored social distancing.

Same like when they do their last minute new year eve's supermarket run, all hell breaks loose during the last hour.

I always think the Japanese are disciplined people
and law abiding but when it comes to getting things
cheap etc they would forget about the rules.
I supposed they are as human like everyone else...SAD!
