I was on a dive trip to one of the East Coast island of Malaysia, Bidung Island. Bidung use to be a Vietnamese refuge island in the end of the 80's. I will talk about Bidung in another post, but this time I want to talk about this shocking and sadden truth of Oriental culture about traditional medicine (TM). Seahorse is consider one of the elements for this TM and are in great demand in some places.
Well a friend, G, found this piece of beauty in one corner among some seafood products. Both of us are speechless, and me being the emotional 'cripple' that I am, I was speechless thereafter.
And to my horrible shock, there are a whole lot hanging out there.
