November 11th: The Bachelor's Day

November 11th is the so-called Bachelor's Day in China. It is not a traditional festival, but it is becoming more and more popular among the youngsters. They call this day the bachelor's day maybe because it has the most number "1"(11-11).


The "festvial" perhaps started several years ago and were well-known among young people. In the evening, the youngsters who are still single may gather together in bars, karaokes or restaurants to celebrate the day together. Some single boys or girls may find their Mr. Right on such occasions.


This year, some bars and restaurants in Beijing held some events on the Bachelor's Day. They offered discounts for such gatherings, some even held blind date parties for those singles to find their other half.

Happy Bachelor's Day!
