How scary is the horror market in Menado, Indonesia?

For girls, it is indeed a bit hard to watch. Seriously, even I myself is hard to imagine that such a beautiful place as Menado actually have such a market, horror market is located in Menado's Tomohon Hill City market, this market is one of the local very historical market, vegetables, fruits, fresh groceries, and we are talking about the horror of the market, is just a small part of the market.

Basically, as soon as you arrive at the entrance, you can see slaughtered chickens and gutted dogs. The word "horror" is not an exaggeration at all, but it is really creepy, and the food is hard to imagine, with roasted rats, bats, raw boa constrictors and roasted dogs, all of which are said to have been eaten by the people of Minahasa 6,000 years ago, and which is a tradition carried on by a portion of the local population today.

Because of the heat and the carcasses of slaughtered animals everywhere, the smell fills your nostrils as soon as you walk into the market, making you gag. I walked into one of the bat meat seller, the owner very warmly handed me the bat, let me see. They didn't really expect us to buy it, but they did expect us to take a picture and give them a tip. It is said that these foods are what the natives used to eat, through my observation, in fact, not many people come here to buy bat meat, I guess the locals do not particularly love to eat it.

In addition to the local people here is the Chinese, you almost do not see other races to this side, it is said that once here came a group of Guangzhou, then the big women saw these also very excited one by one after taking a picture, is also enough strange.

While this place is very bloody and scary, it does reflect the most real side of traditional Indonesian life, if you are brave enough, then this is a good choice
