This Saturday in addition to our normal activities of Chinese Lessons and Kung fu, the foreign delegates of the Shandong University Software Campus (us) threw a good ol' kiwi bbq with a bit of Chinese bang to top it off! On Wednesday the coal for the bbq was provided free by Wei Wei who's exact words were "you can't pay for the coal, or we can't have fun next week". After picking up the necessary supplies of meat and some veges for vege kebabs, we set about the major task of acquiring a keg. With the motorbike temporarily out of action, Matt and Adam taxied down the road expecting to travel some distance to make the purchase, but a couple of minutes down the road, out the corner out of their eyes they spotted some kegs, stopped the taxi and had luck on their side because 5 minutes later they were carrying a keg of Laoshan Beer back to campus.
As night fell, out friends began to arrive and so we fired up the bbq, which resulted in Matt almost losing all the hair on his head, as the 'lighter fluid' was actually full of gasoline! The bbq burned all night, and was constantly graced by a stack of kebabs while we sat around tables lit up with flashing Christmas lights! Music was a mix of tunes from the computer and a mix of the parties musicians busting out on their guitars. In between emptying the keg, shots of baijiu were passed around, contributing to the Chinese/Western theme. 
Big boxes of fireworks provided extra excitement for the night, and probably contributed to our regular visits from the campus security guards, who were probably more curious about the laowai and our happenings, than the fireworks themselves!
Adlibing it bbq style!
