bird and flower market
June 4th, 2009
Contrary to what people call it, the bird and flower market in Kunming does not sell birds or flowers. Perhaps it used have birds and flowers. Now it is a partly-open air market full of tropical fish and spectacular (some of the best I have ever seen) aquariums. There was no algae in sight. No dead fish piled on the gravel below the ones for sale. Everything was clean and healthy. Even the plants were perfect – pruned so that the angle of their leaves balanced the shape of the driftwood they grew on.
On the walk home from the bird and flower market we stopped at the puppy and kitty market. Less incredible, more cute, slightly disturbing.

I liked that you totally jacked the layout from Wordpress. Is this still wordpress? I don’t think it is.
Those are beautiful tanks! Very clean! See, not all the fish are kept in completely sterile tanks. they have some nice aquariums as well.
Ah yes. Many dogs in baskets way too small for them. The Chinese Way.
