Looking for love in Shanghai? Next weekend there will be a matchmaking party in Zhongshan Park, the Shanghai Daily reports:

“MORE than 4,000 people have signed up to participate in the Shanghai’s biggest matchmaking party in Zhongshan Park on October 22, Oriental Morning Post reported.

About 8,000 love-seekers are expected to join the event.

The five-hour marathon meeting is open to singles between 20 and 45, with at least a high school education. Each participant has to pay 100 yuan (US$12) to register. Their personal details and email addresses will be circulated to other participants. (…)”

And if your company wants to have up a database of 8000 addresses of single young relatively well-educated people in Shanghai, you only have to sign up and pay RMB 100. That’s cheaper and probably more reliable than buying these data through other sources!
