Going to a supermarket
Although it may sound dull, I enjoy going to a the supermarket and browsing what is in each aisle of a large and cold place, comparing prices and checking expiry dates before chucking one into a basket.
It was a big surprise to my family when I told them about my newly developed 'habit' as I used to take it as just a chore, and try to spend as little time & attention as possible while to shopping for food whenever my mum asked me when she was busy (that sentence is getting a little on the long/convoluted side - consider making it two sentences - for example fullstop after 'habit' and start it 'Whenever mum was busy and asked me ...'). I cared so little while running an errand that I sometimes got wrong products/goods or stuff by mistake with a falut.
However, things have changed a lot since I started living alone as; first, what I shopped bought often decided what I eat ate, and I didn't like having a tasteless dinner; second, it was fun to see foreign foods that are so different from the ones I used to see in Seoul. I enjoyed seeing hundreds of different types/flavours of crisps and salad dressings in my local Sainsbury's.
Although the excitement of checking out foreign food has long gone passed with the time, I still like to give a new product a try every time I see something exotic or with nice packaging or exotic - last time I got a passionfruit (one word) yoghurt in a big tub. It which was lovely (which, the tub or the yoghurt? :D ) that so I got a second one the following day (again, this sentence becomes a little long and has too many qualifying/modifying clauses).
I sometimes wonder is whether it is a part of growing older - you prefer spending a Friday night at home watching a dvd while cooking something big, rather than going out, clubbing and having a kebab.

[Good work. I got more picky about my food as I got older, too.]
