The Cricket Market

Kim has a good description of the Cricket Market over at her blog, but she described it as her least favorite market. Is she kidding? What could be better than a cricket market? Check out these pictures:



Fighting crickets! My money is on the one on the left.


This woman is preparing lots of tiny dinners for the crickets tonight. Mmmm... looks yummy!


I keep calling it "The Cricket Market", but its actually the "Cricket and Bird Market", because of course, crickets and birds go together like... peanut butter and... something that eats peanut butter. Anyway, they also sell kittens, dogs, fish, and turtles, making the market even more inappropriately named. I guess the "Pet Market" doesn't sound as cool.

Yo, that is sweet, but what...? I mean what's the point? Do people buy crickets as pets? To fight with? Or are they simply food for their birds?

Yeah, people buy crickets as pets, AND to fight with. They sell tiny crickets as well. I don't know if they're for food, or just a smaller (and quieter) pet. Maybe there's different weight classes for cricket fighting.

So much to learn here...
