Nifty night photos. Did you take them yourself or are they reposted from somewhere else? Can you provide the source? Cheers.

It’s unbelievable and shameful.
It’s unbelievable because the party does not know how to cash in…so many people want to get rich.
They should build a few casinos in Wuhan. Can gamble before and after offering to God of Wealth…disperse the crowd a bit.
Blame global warming on incense burners of asia. Or the fake money burners of Singapore.
