yesterday i bought a bottle of "Pastis" for just 48 rmb (1 liter).

the back sticker looked clearly home made, anything looked OK.
taste is more or less ok.
i'm just suspicious about the low price, how come it's only 48 rmb when even the cheapest 3rd rate vodka is sold for 80-90 rmb ?

I heard the French wines in carrefour were fake but I just bought a Talent, blanc de blanc, for 58 rmb and have to say it is rather palatable...

You've said that you're not in Beijing right now. So how is it that you frequent Carrefour?

There's Carrefours all over the place, i'm afraid.

If you want to catch him out, ask him how busy he his. After all, he is a lawyer.

Bizarro!

I think he's saying Carrefour in China. I mean, why would he bother converting the price into RMB if he was overseas? It's too much effort for him to convert currencies.
