Dinner and a Show

Well it was more like lunch and a show, but cool either way!

At a mall close to campus, there is a market that sells fruit, meat and food. After lunch at the local mall, we headed over there to pick up some fruit to have in the room for later. As we wondered around the market, we came up to a fish stand.Tanks covered all the flat surfaces, each filled to the brim with different varieties of fish. While the fish in the tanks were alive, they definitely didn't leave the stand that way

As we walked past the stand someone decided that they wanted a fish, so we stopped to see the whole process. I'm sure many would have left, but the whole operation of getting the fish to the customer was so intriguing. To get the fish from the tank, the shop keeper just cornered a fish with a basket and pulled him out. After knocking the fish out, I was amazed at how smoothly she cleaned the fish and gutted it before giving the whole thing, head, scales and all to the customer in a bag. The best part however, was that the second shop keeper noticed that Izzy and I were watching and moved out of the way so we could see better and proceeded to watch us, amused that we were so enthralled with the operation.

It was an odd thing to watch, but so interesting at the same time, and the fact that no one even blinked an eye during the whole thing was just as great. There really isn't any importance to this, I just thought it was cool, so I'll talked to you all later.
