I noticed that there wasn't lemon grass.

I also didn't find any in Beijing or Shanghai supermarkets. I will check whether they have in Xianggang or Shenzhen supermarkets or wet markets. Wan

Wan Walmart and Carrefour are invloved in scandals many times in China. I have been to these two supermarkets in Xian. There are not many kinds of imported products. Carrefour was closed but Walmart expands quickly in Xian. Metro is not opened to individuals.

To be a member, you must be a corp and submit many ducuments, for example, a copy of your corporate business license. According to what I find, the prices are more expensive. But they offer many imported products.

Wan,

Metro was born in Germany. They sell things to wholesale clients, not retail clients. Take coke for example, if you need several boxes of coke, you can go to Metro. Of course, you have to be a member first. If you just want two or three bottles of coke, I suggest you go to other supermarkets like Walmart.

In recent years, Metro have started to sell things to retail clients. But the prices aren't cheap. They offere many kinds of imported things.

Here is an interesting thing about Metro: Children below 1.2 meters are not allowed to enter Metro. Why? Drivers sitting in fork-lift machinery can not see them. It is too dangerous to let them get in.
