Kristen has been bugging Paul every time he goes to the market, because the first time she was there she saw something she really wanted. Since Kristen isn't the biggest fan of the market, it has been Paul who has been doing most of the shopping there on Saturdays, and each time he leaves, she is very vocal about asking him to bring home a goldfish (which he never does because his hands are full of food bags, and he has a fear of shaking a bag full of goldfish so hard while walking that he ends up with brain addled or dead goldfish).
This week, Kristen decided she was coming to the market as well. The result... two new friends! Meet Dragon and Fengle (means crazy in Chinese).
Here are some other photos from our trip to the market:
 |
| 100 day old ages. A misnomer. They are actually only buried in the ground for thirty days or so, before being dug up and served (usually after bbqing) to their adoring fans. Can't bring ourselves to try them yet. |
 |
| Quails eggs... I think. |
 |
| The original jujube. Literally. These are Chinese red dates or as they are called in China: jujubes. |
 |
| Aged, pickled "things" are commonplace at the market place. I am guessing these are pickled cabbages... could be pickled root veggies though. The bag on the right is raw (uncooked) peanuts. |
 |
| Every kind of seafood you can imagine can be found here. Tiny snails, hermit crabs, seaweed, urchins... you name it (or point to it) they got it. |
