Krokop Market


Here are 2 things found in abundance at the Krokop Market where I do my produce & shrimp shopping. The first is a typical example of what the dogs look like here. They are usually skinny, lacking fur, tail between legs and having just given birth. This dog had a lucky day since I had a bag of puppy food with me. She was very shy but perked right up when I shook the bag of grub. The locals look at me like I am crazy for feeding them. Oh well. :) I met a lady on the beach today walking her dog & we discussed the horrible conditions for animals here. Hopefully we can gather enough people and do something about it. Spaying & neutering is the only thing that is going to help. Ex-pats here have money and raising it should not be a problem if we can find a vet to get on board. More news to come.

The second image is of a Malaysian fruit that I cannot remember the name of. I call them hairy balls. They are really good - cut it open & inside is large grape-ish fruit with pits. Too much work for me but fun to try.
