Green Market

2009 08 07 – Day 42 - Almaty

My hotel enjoyed a prime location next to the biggest market in town – Green Market – and so, still recovering, it was nice that I didn't have to expend much energy to explore the stalls.



It's quite something to see an experienced butcher speedily, methodically and efficiently remove all the useable flesh from the face of a pig until only the skull remains.
I tried to take a photo, but a jobsworthy security guy appeared out of nowhere to indicate that I couldn't take pictures. From then on I had to be discreet, particularly around the meat.
