This Little Piggy Went to the Market

OK - this post is also about pigs. Before you think I've become pig obsessed(I'm not) realize that China IS pig obsessed - at least at dinner time. Pork and chicken are the most devoured foods in China. My last post related a vicious attack I was subject to at the hands(nose,really) of an oinker. Today I am just going to mention the high frequency of pigs going to the market that I see every morning(around 5 am) on my 4 minute bike ride to school. These pigs are usually stacked 5 or 6 high on the back of a motorcycle. My understanding is anyone can rent out their vehicle to carry pigs to the market. Some of these people pick up the pigs, throw them on their bike or into the back of their car, drop them off at the market, and then head off to work. And you think your commute is messy....
