The Big Butt Sheep of Kashgar

Katherine went to the livestock market in Kashgar, China, to see the big butt sheep she'd heard so much about. She found fat-tailed sheep everywhere. Like camels, they carry a deposit of fat in one place because they live in a desert, where it's too hot to have fat dispersed all along the body. In this ancient market, Katherine also found souvenirs, lamb dishes, rice dishes, ice cream, badly-translated t-shirts, and some disdain for Americans.

In the comments under the video, we get a clarification on the "pillows" being sold. They aren't for slapping, but more like an oven mitt used to bake naan without getting burned. -via Digg
