A moving market

This is a little market near Lena's house in the Binh Thanh district. If this were a video, you'd see a lot of squirming going on in these buckets. All the fish are still alive. As I was checking out the specimens, one of the fish jumped out of water and started sloshing around in the gutter.

Those are live lumpy frogs in the net.


I really love the fruit here. I eat the pineapple and papaya chunks with a spicy salt the ladies always serve, presumably for health reasons based on yin yang principles. (I wrote about this a long time ago but am bringing it up again because I am still fascinated by this business of eating salt with fruit! Salt spiced with red pepper no less.)
