Kunming

These are all pictures that I took in Kunming. Pineapple is in season and it is quite common to see carts of it in the streets. You can buy a peeled pineapple by the slice or whole. The vendors have special wedged knives to cut out the part of the peel that is deeper into the meat of the fruit. After the pineapple has been completely peeled, the result is a beautiful, spiraled work of art. Of course, the fruit is always sweet and delicious.


Here's vendor selling cherry tomatoes from baskets on his bike. The tomatoes are tiny, much smaller than any I've ever seen before. Also, tomatoes are always considered a fruit here. They are in the fruit section of the produce department, and they are served in fruit salads.


I'm fairly certain that these women aren't throwing this cabbage away. They've chopped up mass quantities to be used in their restaraunt later that day. The woman off to the side who is looking at the two workers is a rubbish woman. The burlap bag she has in her hands is what she uses to collect recyclables all day long.


I found a store with my name on it!
