Cultural Lesson - Singles' Day

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (Steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
November 11th is Singles' Day in China, aka Bare Sticks Day (光棍节). Doesn’t all the ones in 11/11 look so lonely? It's a day for all the single people in China who haven't found their special someone yet. No worries though! Singles' Day is a great time to have fun with your friends...or you can always console yourself by shopping online!
