Boazi or steamed buns

Just outside the campus and down the street is an alley full of food vendors.  I like the steamed buns.  You and can get 2 for about 15 cents.  Baozi is the Chinese word for steamed bun.  You need to learn the food characters and how to say the words so you can at least have an idea of what you are eating.  At the school cafeteria you look at the menu and see something that you think is what you want to eat, point at it and then find out what you ordered when they give it to you.  It is a lot of fun.  The students were all warned about eating at the food stalls off campus.  They told me about this place the second day we were here.  If you order a soup the dish is boiling when it comes to your table, so not to worry.
