Typical shopping experience

Shopping is usually done with the help of Google Translate, as there are so many unfamiliar items and packaging. Chuck normally handles translation in two ways: 1) plugging in the English and learning how to say the item in Mandarin, then asking the store staff to point him in the right direction or 2)--using the scanning feature to view the item on his screen, which automatically translates to English.

This works adequately except that there are some very humorous translations. For instance, looking at a can of coconut milk, the translation said, "Plasma from virgin students." It is not unusual to see these kinds of translations.
