Street jobs in China

There are all sorts of street jobs in China. The most common street jobs are of course the garbage man, and the cleaners, also policemen and other officials populate the streets of China. But once in a while you can still see less common street jobs performed in the streets of China.

Let’s start with the popcorn-man : he heats up an oval object that resembles a black-coloured bomb. Inside you have corn and when the pressure is high enough (and the popcorn is ready), he releases the pressure. At that moment you hear a loud explosion, luckily nobody gets hurt. The popcorn-men learned to inform everyone in the street by screaming out his lungs before opening the “bomb”.

Another street-job in China would be the men/women selling potatoes on the street. You can easily recognize them as they heat the potatoes on top of an oil-cylinder (how do you call these things ?!). Anyways, see picture below
