India: Mumbai – Crawford Market
Crawford Market is located ok the very edge of the more or less civilized British Bombay before the true insanity of Bombay local bazaars begin. While some parts like fruits and nuts appear geared to the tourists and expats, the bird and vegetable markets are more local in nature. As is the meat market, after seeing which you will probably go vegetarian for a long time – meat is chopped and minced and sold in the dark and humid sheds at over 30C temperature as crows fly and poop all over the place, the ground is covered with blood and trash, and whatever meat is hanging on the hooks looks far from appetizing.
