So today my friend Jay and I met up with his friend at some crazy Asian market in Clairemont Mesa, I couldn’t believe the things I saw! First of all, I had no idea these places even existed… it reminded me of the Cabo airport, so much going on. It had like nice sunglass stores, then make up stores, then normal grocery store items,  but then live fish, crabs and catfish? I have to admit I got a little sad :( All of the animals were alive but barely. Some crabs were piled on top of each other in boxes, barely moving, foaming at the mouth. Where is PETA when I need them? Crabs were literally crawling around in buckets and you’re supposed to pick one out the same way you would pick out an apple? You simply select your live crab and toss it in your cart. It was an interesting experience to say the least. I caught a few glances my way, actually a lot… I am sure they were wondering what this white girl with big curly hair was doing playing with their dinner, aka the live crabs.

Chhheeeck it out!? So weird right!? asian street market

Side Note: I texted my Japanese friend Arika that I was in China and sent her a pic from here, she replied…”OMG YOU ARE WTF!? HOW CAN YOU TEXT?”

    hahahahha, i love going to the asian market with my mom cause i am usually the tallest person there. i’m like yao ming walking around in china… it hasn’t happened yet, but i’m sure if i visit enough i’ll hear someone say “OOOHH NOOOOO, EEESSS GO-ZEEEERRRAAA!!!!”

    oh and the part about Arika is pretty hilarious too, i assume by now you’ve told her you aren’t actually in china? maybe you should send her a post card anyway saskjdhkjsdha
