China - Day 338
Tuesday afternoon 1330 - 1600 StarSplendor New Year party - not unlike a party back home - party games and short plays and dances and charades - this mini-play is about the Emperor's eunuch selecting suitable concubines for his master

I think that the performers (teachers and managers) were told to dress in black. I was about the only person present that was not dressed in black
