Snake Alley

There is a night market called s n a k e alley...
...Well I guess i have to explain what a night market is first. When Taiwanese people go out at night to hang out with friends, or usually grab a snack they go to a night market. There are many around the country, where a whole street, both sides will be lined with stalls selling stuff. Everything from cheap clothing, but mainly food stalls. Most night market food venues consist of fried EVERYTHING, exotic sea food, and this particular one has reptiles on the menu. Snakes, turtles, and frogs o-my. We have no been there to witness the murdering of the poor snakes, but We ate them! I even drank the s n a k e !
The six shots are: in the back snake blood with honey tea, then from the left: Bile, Penis Juice. Venom, Ginseng, and some herbal concoction. Some of the shots had some liqueur in them to make them safe to drink. After the line up of drinks I washed down a couple of snake fat pills that looked like vitamin E pills.

Hi Megan,
Looks like I'm first on your blog. I love your sense of space and color (local and otherwise). Your photography is great! ...as it was on your other trips.
I'll be following your adventures. I loved that you have not as yet run into a mean-spirited person.
Love,
Roger
