To get away from the tourist markets (that are generally full of souvenirs and junk) I went to the "locals market" at 6 AM in Laos...some things I found there--
1. A teepee of live toads impaled through the leg (see picture)
2. A giant lizard with its arms and legs bound
3. Fried/sundried RATS
4. Barrels of snails
5. The "deli section" (ie rows of unrefrigerated raw meat in varying stages of decay, complete with a swarm of flies)
It definitely has given me pause about eating at the local places...
i had a cheeseburger at terry's turf club (with emily and eric). Watched Old Crow Medicine Shown on Austin City Limits. Going to sleep in a soft, dry bed. Can't wait to see the rest of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI could definitely go for a Terry's burger right now! Tape that OCMS show if you can for me. Have fun at the baptism this weekend.
