| There is a carrefour supermarket about 500 meters from my home. After what happened in Paris, none of my familiy memebers went to shopping there. My mother did her daily shopping in Ito Yokado . it takes about 10 minutes ride there, and once a taxi driver offered her a free drive when my mother told him the reason why she refursed to go to Carrefour. Ironically enough, Ito Yokado is owned by Japanese. and it's widely know that most Chinese are anti-Japanese but pro-france before. On May 1, we took my 1-year-old nephew to the entrance of Carrefour. We didn't do shopping there, just to take a picture to let my nephew know that there was such a big change to Sino-french relationship when he was small. There were still people doing shopping in Carrefour, but compared with normal days, the super market was almost empty, while it is always packed with people during holidays. Personally I don't think we should go on with the boycotting thing, which brings no benefit to either sides, and it seriously impacts the local suppliers. I think people will gradually started to doing shopping in Carrefour again and ladies will also taking up their lancome lipsticks . It just takes some time to confront the emotional obstacles. |
