[quote=ROVER,429746]It was reported that two international students from France set up a temporary stall to sell French pancakes at the south gate of Tongji University. Their whole belongings were a tricycle, a wooden counter, a pan, some flavoring and kitchen ware. They were popular and did very good business. But they were not familiar with the culture of Chinese street markets: ready to run anytime once the city inspectors showed up. On the first day, when the city inspectors showed up, they just did not know what happened and did nothing until someone shouted “run, escape” in English. Luckily, the inspectors did not confiscate their property and just let them stop the business. They said it was interesting and they had never experienced it in France. They would keep their small business. I think the experience of putting a stall in the street will be an unforgettable memory to those French guys. Although it is illegal to put temporary stalls in the city streets, but these stalls never disappear and it has been a part of the city. Also, the old game of cat and mouse played by them seems to have been the typical street market culture. The guy is cooking a French pancake[/quote]
