Meat market in N. Sulawesi

It's been almost 10 years since my last trip to N. Sulawesi. Previous trips there were to explore the hidden wonders under the sea, this trip was solely planned to take a closer look at Tangkoko National Park to photograph wildlife. Most of the members of my group were after the endemic birds but I had mammals as my targets.
One out last day, we decided to make a trip to a local market in Tomohon that is known for its meat market. I've heard about it but never had the courage to walk the market until now.The first thing that greeted us was a pick-up loaded with bush meat - reticulated pythons, flying foxes and wild boars.

Flying foxes by the boxes were being unloaded
