Buying in Bulk?

Candy hoarder?

I have been really lax about updating my blog lately.  I'm sorry.  I will try to do better.  The senior three students had a speech competition so I went to town to buy some prizes for the winners.  I finally settled on simple lollypops and biscuits.  When I started picking out twelve candies, the man in charge of the stand and everyone around him burst out laughing and continued until I had paid and walked. Buying in bulk is not at all common here.  When I had bought the biscuits earlier, the vendor asked if I was going to sell them in the street.  There would be no other sensible reason to stock up.  Quite the opposite of Cost-co loving USA!
