Anatomy lesson in the market!!

Today my cousins took me to the Somali market. Its basically this market and they sell like every single type of fruits and vegetables you could possibly imagine. They also have a meat market which my cousin convinced me to go into--- lol.
Anywy so we walk in and there are all these brains and organs EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEE. There was this yellow coiled up thing so i went and asked the shop-keeper what it was. It was camel intestines!!!! He then went on to show us the camel's heart, pancreas, brain, leg... and on and onn. might as well have just had an anatomy lesson.

On hearing that I was from canada, he made me hold a goats head-- apparently its a delicacy here-- you buy and eat whole goat heads!-- I must post pictures-- O and the shop keeper was playing with the goats mouth to make it seem like it was talking!!!

O and i used my bargaining skills today!! I bargained a necklace that was 400 shillings down to 250 shillings-- pretty good considering that he knew i was a tourist. lol.
