Photographer’s Note
Now the crickets....(see previous photo).
This is in Shanghai. When I first came to Sh, a friend took me to see this interesting "show". The plastic thing is the "fighting arena". There is a "wall" between the crickets at this moment. Later on, after they think each cricket is enough "stimulated", they will remove it. They stimulate their crickets by touching them with sticks like this one. The guy has a cylinder box with different sticks, I am not sure about the difference between them. Anyway, after each cricket has got "mad" enough, they remove the wall and the crickets fight.
I saw 2 whole fights but couldn't figure out how they decide which cricket is the winner (I don't speak chinese yet...)
But them crickets get reeeealy mad.
