Today is Single's day in China. The holiday is referred to as Guanggun Jie (管棍节) or Singles’ Festival, though some people call it Bachelors’ Day. But it is really my old friend, the shopping Mecca Taobao/Alibaba that has earned Single's day the name it's now mostly known by - namely Double 11, or Shuang Shi’yi (双十一). Simply because it falls on 11.11 every year.
As of now, 10 pm in Beijing, Alibaba has recorded sales of (the equivalent of) 34 billion USD! Here are a few things you can buy for under 30 RMB (roughly 5 Euros). You still have 2 hours to do it. I'll take orders.

Happy singles day to every single man and woman alive. I am one of the happiest singles who doesn't mind being alone. I am alone, but I'm not lonely, I am single but I'm full of love. I am happy because I have a loving family and friends. I am happy because of my 5 dogs who always happy to see me. I am happy because I said so, and no one and nothing can change it. Because this happiness comes from within my being.
