The other day I was being driven to the office, zipping along (yes the traffic here can zip occasionally!) slowly catching up to a motorbike in front of us.
I looked at the motorbike, the back of which was covered in a sea of white fluff – a metre each side of the bike and piled about half a metre high.
What was the fluff I wondered, as the car slowly gained ground – it looked so soft, like duck down stuck down.
The closer we got, the white looked more alluring, lightly flapping as the motorbike moved. What was it?
The bike stopped at traffic, and we pulled up close behind. I got a good look.
Yes – it was about 100 unplucked chicken carcasses, nicely laid on a board across the back of the bike.
One of those “I need a camera moments”, although suddenly wasn’t so fascinating to look at…

Hello BIJ,
That will teach you for being nosey, I remember an early morning (about 5am) walk to a monkey temple in Nepal. My friend who is a strict veggie was advised to just look ahead not to the side espcially where there were shops. I of course being nosey had a good look I wish I hadn’t, it was lots of butchers shops with very fresh produce, sometime I think blinkers would be good but you would miss seeing real life. Enjoy and keep looking out of the windows.
