Roadside Artist


While waiting for Kristine at a local art class, Grace and I roamed the streets nearby in Mudanjiang city centre and spotted this artist on bicyle making shapes of 12 animals of Chinese astrological birth signs with molasses taffy. He first cut a small piece of taffy from a hot pot, dented the centre, wrapped the sides over the centre to trap an airpocket, and pulled to form a thin tube, from which he blew the taffy into animal shapes. 1 for 3RMB or 2 for 5RMB。 Bought a monkey for Kimberley and a snake for Kristine.
