11-11 is Singles’ Day in China

Yellow frog at the Shanghai Aquarium

I totally forgot it was Singles’ Day, which is easy to do, since virtually nothing is done to celebrate such a melancholy holiday. Somebody just looked at the date (11-11), noticed how many ones were in it, and decided to draw attention to single people, as if Valentines Day didn’t already do a bang up job of that. Chinese culture celebrates two Valentines Day, anyway, recognizing the Western February date and their own date (August 26th this year). Yeah, that’s a bummer for the guys, but flower street vendors sure do well.

    So sad that he has to try and hook up with a rock…makes me want to give him my rock collection from when I was a little boy, to give him some variety with significant others/rocks.

    Judging by the look on his face, I think he and the rock are no longer on speaking terms.
