11.11

November the 11th is a very popular day for the Chinese!

1. It is known as the Valentines Day for all singles, because of the 11 which looks like two single person.

2. Its a online shopping festival known as Double One Festival for taobao.com and its subsidiary Tmall.com when you get huge discounts on almost all the items you buy stuff online.

I, for one, was camping at home to get some very good deals to prepare for winter. The event was huge, with hourly discounts on stuff for 1yuan, the festival was hugely successful.

Just look at the numbers:

A whopping total of 19 Billion yuan spent on online shopping, Tmall alone had 13 Billion yuan of sales, tabao had 5.9 Billion yuan. Its so crazy!!!

So the next time you want to buy something near November, wait till 11th November for great discounts.
