Market mayhem.....makes you feel a bit sick

And here is why.......

Markets seem to be at the centre of life , everywhere we have been. They sell anything and everything and are generally the best places to see what the locals get up to. Oh and it's a good opportunity for the locals to have a good old laugh at us, Johnny Foreigner, all in the nicest possible way of course. I guess it is hard to look relaxed when someone is butchering a pigs head's in front of you.
Here are just a few of the best ones so far.

These fish had pleading eyes and mouths. Still alive, but not for much longer.


Frogs anyone? Still alive. Starting to see a pattern forming here.....

It is Sunday and roast time for these chickens. The bartering for them was a real spectacle

As I said, butchering a pigs head

A slightly more tame food market in northern Laos
