Screeching pigs!

I just wanted to share my rather interesting morning - I went with a couple of friends to a meat market. Hearing the screeches of pigs would be enough to turn anyone a vegetarian! This is as fresh as it gets!

Its like a trip to the butchers except you see a lot more than your bacon, pork chops and beef sirloins behind the counter. You get your meat cut fresh from the animal. I saw the heads of pigs, goats and cows, the inside parts...maybe I should spare you the specific details, but I’m thankful that I didn’t have to see the actual slaughtering! That takes place in the large building at the centre of the market. Hearing screeching pigs was traumatic enough!

I couldn’t resist taking this photo! I’ve seen many things being carried on motorbikes here but this has to be the best I’ve seen yet!
Oh and just to add – No I didn’t purchase a thing!
