Oil and Gas Expo

China is full of all kinds of expos all the time and there are people coming from all around the world to take part in them. But not only that, Chinese companies are manufacturing more and more high tech equipment  Although not all of them are as high or not even nearly as high quality as the Europeans and US products. But they are slowly getting there.

Talked to an American who invited me for a private banquet afterwards, their Bloody Mary's were quite special and SPICY! Buffet food was also amazing!

In the evening when I came home a lot of people were burning stuff in the street. I have seen this before but that is usually on "tomb sweeping day" when you honor the dead. This week I seen about 30 fires in the street, there must have been a lot of people dying in Beijing this week or its something else...Anyone?

It could be anniversaries to their passed family members as well. But as far as I know, it was the week of another Chinese Ancestor Worship Day in Chinese Calendar which is Oct. 1st of Chinese Lunar Calendar. The winter comes and it's getting colder. They burnt paper cloths and shoes to the passed people keeping warm in the other world.
