"You are cordially invited to attend the AIB 2006 Gala Dinner
Great Hall of the People
June 25th 7:30pm - 10:00pm
Hosted by Guanghua School of Management, Peking University
Sponsored by Samsung"

The Great Hall is just to one side of Tiananmen Square

This looks difficult
The food was... okay. The prawns were about a foot long.
