Pigs

This morning I took Asher for a walk. I walk him down the street, through the neighborhood, and into a little park with grass and a soccer field. My neighborhood is like a little sidestreet in New York City. Little shops, grocers, people with stands on the sidewalk, butcher shops. It's own little entity in the city.

I took him down the sidewalk and passed the butcher shop. They always have fresh cuts of meat you can buy. And this morning, on the sidewalk, are 10 pig heads. For a split second I thought they were fake, and then I realized "No, I'm in Korea, and those are pig heads." Huge, dead, bloody pig heads. It was only the heads, and that's the only part that had blood on them. The actual head was white, pale, the eyes were closed, and the ears were laying out. All 10 of them laid out in a row. I stopped, shrieked, and then just gaped open mouthed.

I ran back after work tonight to try and snap a picture but they were all gone. I wish I would have had my camera on me.... Maybe tommorrow :)
