Qing Ping Market

Kai loved the fish.
I was fascinated by the scorpions.
Customers squatted on little stools and picked the scorpions out with chop sticks.

Our guide said they deep fry them.
We got a lengthy introduction to Chinese cuss words for standing on one of the stools...
Kai also liked the starfish. I think they had everything imaginable dried for sale.

I love the market -- it is so magical -- with all the things to see and buy (mostly look at...) I've never eaten a fried scorpion -- but I have eaten a fried cricket....
