Who said love was hard to find in China? After careful examination, we think there are some pretty impressive opportunities for the young, nimble and, well, open-minded.
Exhibit A:
Every city has some form of “missed connections” – you know, the girl you saw on the subway and a life with dogs, a house and children flashed before your eyes. Unfortunately the conductor failed to catch this meeting of souls and closed the door before you could make that critical first move. So you publish your loss in the local paper.
Well...this wins (especially for those who remember our lady on the bike from a few weeks ago...).
Exhibit B:
What do your parents do on a Saturday morning? Ours usually start with some coffee, read the paper and do some errands. It’s not that different in China, except for the parents whose weekly Saturday ritual includes posting their deplorably single sons’ and daughters’ resumes, health information and personal selling points in the park. And not content with passive advertising, these parents will also bargain and negotiate with other parents for the right to win a first date…for their children.
Let us just say – Thanks Mom and Dad, for sticking with the Saturday paper.
