Sorry for the blog delays. We've had trouble getting pictures uploaded recently and blogs aren't as much fun without pictures. Everything seems to be working now so hopefully this lasts.
This couple weeks ago I went for a run early on a Sunday and where I finished happened to be a block of cricket salesman. At first I was perplexed at what these cans were doing on the sidewalk. I heard the distinct chirp of crickets and saw a few men huddled around another collection of the cans. I could tell by their lively interest that there was something in the cans, that or they were all loco. I inquired and they let me have a peek. These were crickets which I understand are good luck to have around as a pet. This is different than the grasshopper I showed last year. Those are for fighting like cock fighting.

| This is what I stumbled on after ending my run. The sound of crickets filled the air but with their lids on I could only assume what was inside. |

A man showed me his merchandise. He told me it would cost an amount equal to $5

| Believe it or not this lady is chasing a cricket that jumped out its cage. Unfortunately I didn't get my camera switched to video mode from photo mode quickly enough. |

| This lady has a cricket in her hand under the small net. Then she keeps them in hallowed out bamboo tubes. There were a dozen or more people sitting on this street checking containers. I imagine they were doing a head check to make sure their stock were all still chirping. |
