As the night got on, so did the girls, on the bar I mean!

We had the Casino Royal Party last night at a local bar/restaurant called Zapata's. Most people got into character and it was so much fun. People walking around with their guns and numb-chucks. Girls is gowns and the boys in all sorts of suits. China is great for buying costumes, and they are nearly all from Wedding Street... Yes... Wedding Street. Here is China during the cultural revolution people couldn't afford to get dressed up for their wedding. So they would go to the photographer and hire an outfit for 1 photo. It was like playing dress-ups for your one wedding shot. So as time has gone on, this tradition still continues, but now you will have 5-6 outfit changes during you photo shoot which happens one week before your actual wedding. So Wedding Street here is a costume street.
