Meals on Wheels! Labor Day Weekend, part II

Here are some pics from Labor Day weekend, to go with the video from the previous post...

They have the coolest bikes here in China - see this one that Morgan is standing next to?




With flames like this, we had to try some of her food - again, check out the bike!




Here is the "mystery meat" on a stick. Whatever they use to cook the meat with smells like burning rubber. Perhaps that's what they're using? It stinks. See all the red spice he's used? And again, cool bike, right? And you'll see these guys riding or pushing their bikes through crowds with their flames still lit!


McDonald's? In America, somebody would come over and take this away because this is obviously not Mickey D's, but here nobody thinks anything of it, I guess. Not a bike itself, but definitely a bike trailer.


Portable cotton candy. One day I need to look closer to see how he has his moped hooked up to the cotton candy machine. Pretty cool machine.

Here's a handcart for fresh pineapple.



I should put this picture in the previous post next to the video. This is a little after we sat down to eat, before the crowds formed. This family can also be seen in our video just sitting there. We originally were at this table by ourselves when they pulled some chairs over from the EMPTY table to eat with us. They never said anything, just watched us.

A couple pictures of Adayla posing with passers-by.

We really should start charging money for this. I've joke with them "Yi zhang yi kuai" meaning one picture for ~$.14. Maybe we'll take Chelsie's offer to be the kids' manager!

Loved the photos! I'm going to have to find myself a cool bike like some of those. It cracks me up how the people like to take pictures with your kids and that is so funny that those people sat by you and never said anything. haha! how odd... They seem like very nice people. It's just very different. I can't imagine how someone would react here if I stopped to take photos with their children;-) Or if I sat at their table and just watched them...haha!
