Now instead of her and Mama Iyay, her and I are going to the market.<\/p>\n<p>The first time we went, we bought stuff at Tip-Tip Store.  We went at like 5 AM (because we were still somewhat messed up as a result of the time difference) and none of the other stores were open. It was rather fortuitous, though, because the owner of Tip-Tip Store Manong Lito is a childhood friend of Tito Rocky, mom&#8217;s older brother.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/3985439673\/\"  title=\"IMG_7608 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2516\/3985439673_933967c0a5.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"IMG_7608\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/3985428049\/\"  title=\"IMG_7607 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3476\/3985428049_2d4e6df383.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"IMG_7607\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A tobacco vendor at the <i>tiangge<\/i>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/3986122780\/\"  title=\"IMG_7606 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2528\/3986122780_2f1db2a68e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"IMG_7606\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/3986152826\/\"  title=\"IMG_7609 by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3499\/3986152826_c5aeaa97aa.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"IMG_7609\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The freshly slaughtered meat was a little unnerving, but it didn&#8217;t keep me from eating pork.
