Candy Popcorn and Yakkisobi

Everyday from 8 in the morning until about midnight, a row of vendors pull up along the sidewalk in front of PUC to sell jewelry, clothes, magazines, you name it. Everyday around sunset, a white van pulls up and out pops the Yakissobi man and his wife. They set up shop and get to work making Yakissobi...chinese noodles with cabbage, chicken, and beef. For 2 dollars you get a "small" serving (which is really huge) of the most delicious lomein to be found around a college campus. This guy will never run out of business.

Right next to the Yakissobi man is the popcorn man who sells red candied popcorn and regular popcorn will little bits of fried provolone cheese.

As i leave class thursday nights the sweet aroma of caramalized popcorn hits first and then the yakissobi. The smells that will forever transport me to the sidewalks of PUC.

What a wonderful way to end a long night of studying. I can imagine you are REALLY READY by the time you walk out the classroom door.
