First day buying food and stuff

Ok, so we left our apartment with Chloe the first day and went to pick up a few things that would make it more liveable, like sheets, pillows, comforter, dishes, frying pan, food... So we went to this store that was three stories and had magnetized escalators so the carts would stick. She bought food and some things for us but we had to buy the comforter and sheets and it was so expensive it was crazy!! The comforter alone was about $75! But they put $300 into Micah's account the other day for things like that so it's ok. I talked to this other foreign teacher at my school and she said you can get stuff like that in hole in the wall places for 10 bucks but oh well. Then we had lunch at this buffet place where there were two pots on our table with boiling broth and we went to buffet tables and picked out uncooked food to boil into soup in the bowls. I ate so much octopus it was ridiculous! I didn't know if it was ok to leave food on my plate but I couldn't eat anymore octopus! It is really tiring to eat because it's so hard to chew. Anyway, she then took us back to Micah's school to get stuff to set up a bank account and then we set one up for Micah and finally got to go home!!
You'd think we would sleep immediately upon getting back, but hoping to combat jet lag we stayed up 'til 9 unpacking and then fell asleep.
