4/4×4 is coming

April 16th is coming and the preparation for the biggest day of the year is starting. Yahoooo!!! But what can we do to organize an unforgettable day? This is a problem for everyone who try to manage a big or even a small event. Some ideas to celebrate the date: go to a restaurant or a place that can host some people, for example, a place with a Special!

Foursquare Day Shanghai
