Rats for lunch

a few years ago, i did a cross-indochina land trip. from bangkok to
mukdahan, a border thai-lao town. crossed the mekong into lao and then
straight on to vietnam, and emerging at the seaside town of hue. it
was lunchtime in lao, and we decided to stop at the cleanest
restaurant along the highway. after lunch, i went to take a pee at the
back and return via the kitchen to see them skinning these things for
cooking... don't worry, everything taste like chicken..
