The waiting staffs are six and each has been allocated their own tables, so that they do not interfere with each other's work.

It seemed that the diners had worn the most elegant designer gowns. One of the most memorable designs was that of a young man who had pink Versace suit and blue Jimmy Choo shoes. Only a person who loves fashion would have known that what he had worn what was in current season. To other diners, he looked like a clown with no sense of fashion.

The talk among the diners is about their achievements and successes; it seems that everyone wants to outdo the other.
