There’s only one thing to do on Valentines Day if you are single and live in Hong Kong!
A massive 2400 singles in Hong Kong have signed up for speed dating events being held on Valentines Day. Speed dating shot to the top of the popularity stakes when it was introduced back in 2002.
A source from the local newspaper Ming Pao says that every year, there are 65,000 young people taking part in the speed dating parties held by 30 agencies, bringing the industry a yearly income of 20 million HKD. Speed dating companies are making a small fortune hooking people up and amongst their services are styling lessons focussed on improving style and dress sense, to increase the chance of daters finding love.
The best company to talk to that I found:
HK Speed Date
Statistics from the government of the Hong Kong SAR show that there are 2.6 million single people aged between 20 and 44 in Hong Kong. Many professional workers like engineers, teachers and healthcare workers are forced to stay single because of their long working hours and humdrum lifestyle.
I know where I’m going for my next holiday!!!
