The Cow is critical of the grass, or it should be. It doesn't matter where it grazes, there's always different tastes to comment on. So join the cow and cowaround the world!

Cowing Around

Photo Entry: The Flea Market 善化牛墟

At the neighboring town where my grandparents live, there is a cattle trading market where people used to trade their cows. Back in the days when farmers still used cattle to work their fields, they will sell the cows when they become too old and weak to work, and this is where they will trade the cows. This also was one of the most happening market where people from all over town will come each month, as visitors and traders. However cows are of a rare sight these days and therefore, no cattle trade. The market still goes on, without the cows of course. It is now a market without boundary, which means, everything to anything sells. Used books and pornography DVDs to used powertools, fruits and vegetables to street food, and butchered meat to all kinds of live stock for either farm use or as pets. It's interesting because you can never expect what kind of items you will see next, but rest be assured, there's something for everyone!
