Mongkok Wet Market

Mongkok is a densely-packed shopping district where you can find just about anything you might need. Clothes, flowers, goldfish, electronics--these and other categories of goods each have their own street or sections of streets with dozens of vendors hawking their wares. This video clip is of a "wet market," which contains stall after stall selling fresh produce, dried goods, fish, meat and poultry. And when I say fresh, I'm really not joking: the vendors will pull out a live fish, frog or chicken and kill, clean, and cut it up for you right on the spot. Vegetarians, or carnivores who don't like to think about where their meat comes from, please don't watch!
