I was a student at the Defense Language Institute in the 80’s. My Russian instructor told the story of her sister visiting her and her mom here in the States.
She wanted to see an American grocery store before she went back. Her family kept making excuses not to do so.
On her last day here, she refused to go to the airport until they took her to a store.
My instructor said she walked around the store for 30 min, tears streaming down her face the whole time.
