Today's question is "Would you pay $15 USD for some ice cream?" Well I did and it was mmm, mmm good. Now, I can't say it was 15 dollars worth of good, but who can turn down Haagen Daaz?
Haagen Daaz in China is the biggest spectacle. No matter how tight your Chinese is, I dare you to walk up to the counter talkin' bout you want to "sample" the rum raisin. No ma'am. You'll need to wait to be seated by the hostess just like everyone else. That's right, hostess. After you're seated your waitress brings you a menu filled with the most tempting of delights, the cheapest of which is the peanut toppings weighing in at $2 USD hahaha.
Anyway, what the Chinese want, the Chinese will get. Did you know that there are 66 Starbucks in Shanghai alone?!! Consumerism is making big waves in China and apparently there's no price too high for certain things. Now, is there a way that I could justify paying $15 for the smoothie and single scoop of cookies and cream we ordered? Nope. But one look at the picture, and you'll see Amira displaying the meaning of true satisfaction with our overpriced purchase.
