November 11 is dubbed as Singles Day in China. I’ve been here in China for 6 years but I’ve never experienced this day before or maybe I’m not just aware of it. My colleague received a Chinese message from the telecom company advertising all the events that’s connected to this day.
Apparently they all moved the events in the weekend as nobody usually goes out in the cold and in the middle of the week. Well.. being single is good and bad. Good in the sense that you don’t have to answer to anyone except yourself and you can do whatever you want within reason. Bad in the sense that there are times wherein you feel lonely.
So, what’s significant with Singles Day? I don’t really know. I just know it’s one of the numerous working holidays that China has. :)
Happy Singles Day everyone! Oh yeah! Happy Veteran’s Day as well in the US.
