Day Seven: Overview: Lecture by Professor Zheng Qi on China's Economy and use of the internet, Market Shopping, Business Visit to Seagull Watch Company.
-Going out at night is a blast in both Beijing and Tianjin. One of our frequent stops at night are our new love for the kabob stands. Every night we stop and eat kabob's at stands, which look like small outdoor restaurants with tables and chairs, on the sidewalk. I would say there is a variety of 50 different items that you can put on the grill. Some defiantly look like mystery meat but they taste so good. So far the best kabob is the squid kabob. It may look scary but it tastes so good! The lady at the stand recognizes us because we stop by so frequently. Last night we were taking picture with her and we helping her cook the kabobs. On the kabob they put a variety of spices which can vary from each stand. At this particular stand that we go to, they put a spicy sauce on the squid and then put it on the grill. The atmosphere feels like an American barbeque! I love this change in late night eating. In America late night eating usually consists of Mc Donald's or some other type of fast food, all in all it is greasy and not healthy. The kabobs are fresh, taste good, and I assume are better for you. It is always nice to stop and have a kabob on a late night walk in Tianjin.
