Trip to Jungle Jim4/1/2018 Hi guys!
Today I want to tell you about our family trip to Jungle Jim on Tuesday. Actually, we planned to go there on Saturday. But then the weather of Indiana State said “I feel like you need some snow storm on the weekends, guys”, so we had to stay at home. Jungle Jim is an amazing place where you can food and drinks from all over the world like. Of course, shopping there is more expensive than at a regular grocery store, but it’s a good opportunity to get acquainted with foreign cultures. And they have that beautiful decorations for each section of the store styled for the country the food is from. If you have an opportunity to go there, you should definitely buy something at their bakery: their bread is extremely tasty! I bought some sweets from my country, but I was really surprised by prices: because of all the shipping taxes, some food was almost 7 times more expensive than I used to pay for it at home. One thing that made me laugh a lot was an enormous, giantic barrel with a symbol of the Soviet Union Army and sign in English "Chernobyl Nuclear Power" spelled with Russian letters (Chernobyl was a Ukrainian nuclear reactor that explode in 80s, and caused huge environmental problems). I think it's a really good black humor joke. However, there was one thing that made me really disappointed. Although, the store had a number of racks with German, Italian, Japanese or Mexican food, they didn’t have at least one shelf for Ukraine: they just settled all Ukrainian food in the Russian section. I am quite used to people whose job isn't connected with Geography and who often mix up these two countries, and I am totally fine with that. But if you are opening an international store that's focused on selling goods from abroad, such mistakes are unacceptable. So now I am planning to write a complaint to the store and ask to create an individual shelf or at least a sign. All things considerate, it was a cool experience, and I highly recommend you to visit this store if you haven't yet!
