mark jacobson i have no idea what to make of this place - is this the strangest looking butcher i've seen?
shea prueger this is part of a market in soho. it's next to a couple blocks of flowers and a few blocks of fruit. a block of underwear and socks, block of beads...etc. so. this is a normal meat "shop." what you are missing is how MANY of them there are. back to back and across from each other. leaving only a narrow path to walk through all of this stuff. sick. and. you just go up and order whatever they have out. i literally watched a guy "browse" and with his bear hands touched ALL of them, trying to pick one out. picture someone flipping through a crammed rack of t-shirts, just like that. sick.
mark jacobson thank you for the rack of t-shirts imagery, yuck - i feel like this could be a shot from a horror movie, maybe the basement of the family in 'china chainsaw massacre' or something like that
shea prueger umm...yeah. good idea, actually. walking through the meat markets terrifies me more than anything else in asia. i try to avoid at all costs - but sometimes have no choice. and the smell, mark, is so bad. i usually wrap a huge bandana/scarf around my neck and tie it so it covers my nose and mouth.
