Why I don't trust Chinese medicine

This lovely scene was found in a Chinese Medicine shop in Narita, Japan. Yes that is a jar of preserved baby snakes in the foreground, and some kind of stuffed mongoose like thing in the upper left corner. Despite being the airport town for Tokyo, it had a very impressive Buddhist temple, and lots of interesting shops. Michael and i had an excellent sushi lunch there too. No baby snakes, just baby eels for lunch tho.
