Grocery for Asian people in Toledo July 10, 2007

 

For Asian people in Toledo or people who like oriental taste, there are some Asian groceries in Toledo, OH that you can buy grocery for cooking by yourself.

First one is Asian Grocery, located in 1801 McCord Road (Corner of Dorr and McCord) Toledo, OH. This store is quite small, but I recommend that you can find everything that you want. Even probably sometimes you can not find something that you want, you can ask the owner. She’s friendly and she likes to answer your questions too.

Second one is Tee Oriental Food & Gifts, situated in 1101 N Mccord Rd
Toledo, OH or is opposite the street from the Asian Grocery. This one is bigger than the first one and the price is almost the same. But they sell more dry stuff and snacks than the first one. So if you would like to buy fresh meat or vegetable, I suggested you to go to the first one. However, this store is cleaner and nicer than the first one.

The last one which I know and I like to go there is Lee Oriental Market or on internet is called Kim’s Oriental Market. This one is located in 2527 W Laskey Rd, Toledo, OH. If you’re the one who like Oriental taste as me, you will not be disappointed when you’re there. They sell many things from Korean and Japan. For myself, I like Japanese food. So I like to buy Japanese food such as Gyoza, Shumai, Dorayaki and Pocky. Also, one thing there from Korean which you shouldn’t miss is Kim-Ji. It’s very good, if you like to have vegetable. However, the price in this store is more expensive than those one, but I like it anyway.

Now if you want to try to cook like Thai food, Japanese food, Chinese food, even Indian food, you know where the source is. So, have fun and enjoy your meal.

Independent Day – July 4th July 10, 2007

This is my first Independent Day in the U.S. and I thought that I should go somewhere for seeing the firework on this day. Of course, there were in many places around the city (Toledo). Some where have firework 2 days which are July 3rd and July 4th such as Maumee. Some friends of mine went to downtown Toledo, but I decided to go to Cedar Point, Sandusky.

First, I thought I could have fun there, but my thought was wrong. As everyone knows, there were a lot of people in everywhere on that day – Cedar Point also. I could not ride many things because there were too many people and my friends took their kids there. So we had to take care of kids too.

Anyway, I got 1 impressive thing which is the firework in Cedar Point. It was very nice. They started around 9.30-10pm. My friends and I stopped walking and sat down on the floor to watch it. It took time a little bit, but it was very nice as I said. So we didn’t think that we wasted our time to see it. There were many kinds of firework – some like a star and some like a heart. And the last one which were too many fireworks exploded in the same time to show that were the last one.

On July 4th, Cedar Point closed at midnight, but when the firework finished, everyone started to leave included my friends and I also. Therefore, we stuck at parking lots there for half an hour, I think. But I heard some of my friends stuck in downtown Toledo for 1-2 hours. I was very tired on that day, but I also got some more experience from that day too.
