Local Wet Market - this post is not for those with squeamish tummies

Again, I repeat.

Not for those with squeamish tummies.

A very common sight here. A small little food stand with all the meat hanging in the window.

The produce part of the wet market

frogs...

You might be having a hard time identifying this one.

Its SCORPIONS.

LIVE SCORPIONS.

Ok, its just really hard for me to believe that people actually EAT scorpions. I mean, how? why? when? where? Are they a good little afternoon snack, or are they dessert???

No market is complete without snakes. This was only 2 of like 15 snake tanks.

Is anybody out there hungry yet?? :)

Explanation:

Last week Daniel had to go to the police station to do some routine paperwork, and on his way he discovered a wet market - an outdoor market that sells fresh produce, meat, noodles and rice, and other assorted things. He took me back to it a couple of days later, and it was probably one of the most memorable experiences that I've had so far. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
