Scenes from Lotus

This evening I went grocery shopping at Tesco Lotus. Funny, we farang call it Tesco, but Thai people call it Lotus. I took a motorcycle taxi there and then also home again, even with carrying 4 bags of purchased items! I'm really beginning to like riding motorcycle taxis--what's wrong with me??:)

Anyway, I still marvel sometimes at the interesting items they carry.

Hmmm, the sign says this is fresh cuttlefish. I wonder if that is another name for squid?? It sure has similarities at least.

And then if you don't like fresh cuttlefish, maybe you would prefer the dried cuttlefish snack???

And I can never quite get over the fresh fish displays...

Back to fish snacks, I thought this particular snack looked...ummm...dangerous?????

And then there are the eggs...speckled, brown, red, white, green, you name it!

Last but not least is the area with "help yourself" to however much and whatever kind of raw meat you might need.

Sharon, I LOVE riding motorbike taxis in Bangkok...there's just something about the rush of it. It's been fun reading up on your blog and all you are learning and involved with there. Thinking of you! (We met at Conference just before you left for Thailand in case you don't remember who I am)

Mmm. Love the raw meat counter. yeah baby!! Smells great too in that pork corner. :)Candice
