Floods did not keep people away from a restaurant in Xiangfan, China. In fact, the floods not only brought in the water, they brought in the people. According to Ananova, "The owner said he was prepared to temporarily close the restaurant after the heaviest rains for 50 years brought floods to the city. But he had a change of heart when he heard how the eatery's new wet look was bringing in the customers."
I wonder if they have a no splashing rule.
If this could actually happen in the U.S. with all of our health codes, I could imagine owners taking the wet look one step further with Hooter's-style servers in in wet bikinis. Judging by the photo, though, it looks like it is business as usual in Xiangfan, just with a pool of water on the ground.

This publicity is great for the restaurant -- truly, the heavens have opened up and showered them with blessings. At the end of each meal, the people are not sad with cloudy dispositions but rather are happy and clap for the chef: they break into thunderous applause.
