Question from Natalie

Can only expats show at the grocery stores?


ANSWER: No, anyone can shop at the grocery store, it's just a matter of IF they can afford it. The prices in the grocery store are much more expensive than if people shopped at the wet markets. Plus processed foods arent' very popular with Indonesians since most of them cook everything fresh themselves. Remember I said that most people's monthly income is around $200 U.S. and if I can spend $100 for one weeks worth of food for only 2 people at a a grocery store, imagine how much a local, who makes much less than we do, can buy at a grocery store.
