Snack Street (小吃街xiǎochījie) at Southwest University is one of my favorite places to grab a cheap snack, buy fruit, or simply people watch under the glowing string of florescent light bulbs. It's made up of dozens of independent food sellers; the majority pack up their supplies, stoves, and tables at the end of the night and go home. Imagine a flea market, but replace the antiques with fried breads, stacked fruits, stray dogs, accumulating litter, and my favorite: 烧烤shāokǎo, or Chinese BBQ.

Sitemate Kristen and I dine on Shāokǎo once a week or so; its cheap and delicious. Before I say too much, see for yourself:
As you can see, Kristen and I have a good time mingling with the locals, who appreciate our curiosity and friendliness (and let's not forget, our business). Permanent Snack Streets just don't exist very often in America (health codes, property rights, etc.) but in the Middle Kingdom, they are a way of life - and I am grateful for mine at Southwest University.
I love and miss you all,
Phil

P.s. Excuse the "Kristen and I's favorite..." sentence from the video. Haha! I never knew so many Grammarians read my blog! What an honor! Sadly, after two years in China I to forget how to spoke English language. 哈哈!

May I just say, being a fellow Grammarian myself, lol, that this should have said "I forget (or forgot, whichever you like, although I prefer the latter) how to speak," NOT, "I forget how to spoke," which is what you wrote.
Cute video though :)
