Chinese Single Day
Next wednesday is Chinese Single Day. We called it Single Day because November 11th is double 11, which made up of two odd numbers. And people who are single are called Single Dog! Actually, some people are expecting Single Day, because on that day all of the Chinese online shopping stores will offer big discounts to attract people to buy goods.
During this day, a large number of online shoppers are expected to buy things on the lnternet. Especially girls who would shop and purchase items such as shoes, clothes, make-up products, and all the other things on their shopping list. They will shop for them as soon as Single Day comes. There is a crazy thing. Some stores on Online shopping malls like Taobao ("searching for treasure website", is a Chinese website for online shopping similar to eBay and Amazon) will sell things in a really really low price on sharp 24 o'clock. And there will be a lot of people stay up and stare at screen of their cell phones or computers to count down. That's insane! Those who have girlfriends or boyfriends will go on a date with their lovers. They may do some romantic things and take pictures, then post them on wechat or qq. Their frieds who are single will give some funny remarks or complain! Single people will gather together to do lovely things too! Every year I go out with my single friends to see a movie and have dinner on Single Day. We also have a good time!
