Shanghai - It seems a while ago since Happy Street first opened
its doors.
The last couple of months a lot has happened and for most students
the end of their time in Shanghai is near. Time to look back on a
fun and challenging time at Happy Street.
Shanghai - Fries with mayonaise, a tasty croquette, soda's
or a beer.
Prefer a chickenwrap or just a chicken sate?
It's all to get at 'the baggerschuit' on Happy
Street.
A look behind the scenes.
A Dutch pavilion without 'poffertjes' (pancakes) is, of course, unthinkable. That's why Holland brought a 'poffertjeskraam' to Shanghai. The Chinese as well as western people really enjoy this Dutch snack.
