British young man's vendor life in Beijing (3)

According to Jamie, his hummus business is not about making money. To him, the most enjoyable part lies in interacting with onlookers and see how they react. He also registered an account on Weibo.com, the largest microblogging portal in China, to update his street vending anecdotes.

However, Jamie's non-scheduled street vending, which he would rather call "a fun project", is only a start. There's still a long way to go before becoming the chef of his own restaurant. At the same time, he gives English lessons to kids to support his living in Beijing.
