China 2001: Butler University/Freeman Foundation Student-Faculty Fieldwork Trip

Searching for Yang Rou Chuan
Today we split up -- Matt, Liz, Jen, and Jeff were on their own, while I took Becca to the Shanghai office of the American Chamber of Commerce. Spicy lamb kebabs, called "yang rou chuan," has become a popular food for the gang. In the evenings, street vendors selling food are everywhere, and yang rou chuan is just the snack needed after a full day of walking around the city. This evening, Matt, Liz, Jen, and Jeff went out to explore the neighborhood in the early evening, and in the darkness didn't realize that they had ordered squid instead of lamb -- barbecued squid was still tasty, but the texture was not what they expected!
