All of the photos here were taken by others. The Mandarin House photographers took photos at the party, and the others were taken by FreeBSD China members.
This picture was taken on August 8, 8/8 : an auspicious day because of the double meaning of the character 'ba' (8). A neighboring business to our restaurant let off a torrent of fireworks for 10 minutes showering the area with noise and black smoke.
