What a pile of fruit! I took this picture at 9am, so what time do you think that this woman woke up to pile this rambutan? The photo was taken at Khlong Thoey Market, where many of the vendors in Bangkok pick up their meat and vegetables and fruits. I only stayed at this market for a few minutes, though, because it was a very...visceral...experience. If only more people got this up close and personal with their meat, I think many more would turn vegetarian. The smell was, of course, quite pungent, but walking through the rivers of animal blood in my flip flops was, perhaps, the reason I left so quickly. The blood was oozing from the food stalls and being swept into the street, but also a trash truck was excreting the liquid as well.
