I Finally Found…...The Holy Grail!!
In a country so close to nature (people bike, run, walk, or even ski… to work?!) I am amazed for example at the number of plastic bags still handed out at the grocery stores (either free of charge…bad, bad 'Holga' or for a small fee… a little better 'Coop') and people at the checkout line must think I’m some kind of crazy hippie chick when they see me bag my weekly grocery in my canvas bag. I have to say that I had to learn the hard way when in France during the summer months since they don’t give any plastic bags and China also banned for a while (around the Olympics!) plastic bags.
But back to the Holy Grail, I have been looking all over town for a simple mop and bucket and all I could find to clean my floor were those disposable cloth. Well I finally found what I was looking for in the past several months (several of my friends were on the look out… it was definitely a team effort!). Of course a few days later I found it at Ikea! I did ask if they always had them (thus confirming I must be blind when I shop) but they reassured me that they have been out for quite some time… all those crazy Expat must have had a raid when they arrived in September!!
