If you think you have been and experience a wedding banquet , well, you have not experience THE wedding banquet.

Recently, a huge wedding banquet from the Shunde district of Foshan city in the Guangdong province was held for three days and and three nights. ( 3 is believed by the Chinese to be a lucky number). These “hundred family banquets”?????? have a long history in rural China. Almost everyone in the village, friends, and family are invited. The host treats their invited guests to three meals each day and a total of nine meals.

Just imagine how much it cost to held this huge wedding banquet.

If you think this wedding banquet is fancy, there are other banquet that are more fancier then this.

Man Pays New Truck with Thousands of Coins

A man from Ohio, USA buys a new Chevrolet Silverado truck with coins.

Yes, you read it right. He paid for the truck with coins, a lot of coins. The employees at the Chevrolet dealership located in the suburb of Springdale, Cincinnati saw the 70 year old James Jones and his wife carry 16 coffee cans full of coins to the dealership to pay for the truck. He used it to pay half of the $16,000 price of the pickup truck.

It took the employees at the car dealership more then 90 minutes to count the collection of nickels, dines, quarters, half-dollars and dollar coins. However, the coffee cans have no pennies. Imagine the time it would them to count the coins if more then half of it is pennies. He would definitely need more then 16 coffee cans to carry those pennies.

As for the other half of the $16,000, Jones and his wife, Betty, wrote a check.

Jones’ son says his penny-pinching dad always preferred to pay his purchases with coins. His reason to buy a new truck was because the parking brake of his 1981 pickup truck failed last year sending him to the hospital.

Most likely, he used coins to pay off his hospital bills as well.
