Overcrowded relation planet

Last year, 40 dating agencies in Shanghai cooperated to organize world's biggest dating fair. 10,000 tickets were sold, almost 20,000 people came to the event. The difference in numbers was explained by parents who insisted upon accompanying their children.

With 19,999 people blocking your view, the prince on his white horse might still be hard to spot because reportedly, the atmosphere was far from romantic. Finding true love is serious business!

Upcoming weekend the dating fair will be held in the Expo grounds, where 30,000 people are expected. Parents are discouraged from coming by charging them a small fee. When interviewed, they said nothing could stop them from coming.

How much I would have loved to be there, foreigners are not allowed. Intercultural matchmaking is still illegal as intercultural relations used to be strictly forbidden. Another time.
