Makati City, Philippines

[slang]

There are still some 5k images that I'm fiddling with to get organized.

I just ran across these. They show that meat market without the refridgeration.

These are all walk and snap because as you might imagine the locals don't want any foreigner to see how the meats are cut and stored here. It's embarassing to them.

There are three photos showing the market that came out reasonably clear.

The first photo shows the chopping blocks for the incoming meats.They are tree stumps. I suppose the only reason that these meats don't kill everyone that eats them is that they are so very fresh.

It's been estimated to be less than an hour that the animal was breathing when they arrrive early in the morning.







For those of us that are accustomed to much cleaner environments to have foods prepared it's hard to believe that more people don't get sick from this.

It may be because their immune systems are always in high gear, or possibly that the situation is not as bad as it seems.

It hasn't killed me yet. Yes, there is still time.

Oh, and take a look at the sign. There are no preservatives in the meat.
