Recently, our reporter saw such a notice on the announcement board of Zhejiang University: "I'm a gentleman, and I'd like to now invite a pretty young lady to have dinner with me share the expenses this Saturday night." A Zhejiang University student Chen told our reporter that she really admired such originality, and she was willing to have dinner with him.

In fact, this man was not the originator of such activities. "Table delicacies team" has now become the rage in Hangzhou, whereby people get together through different ways, eat with great relish, and pay the bill separately.

UME International Cimeplex. Co. has kicked off preferential activities these days. Its staff member Ms. Fu said every Wednesday, if a man bought a film ticket with full price, he could bring another woman to watch the film free of charge. "Such kind of activity attracts many people. Every Wednesday I can see several lovers or couples coming to our cinema hand in hand."

Young office staff enjoy singing in KTV loges, relaxing their nerves and meeting new friends. They also pay the bill separately there. A small KTV room can thus demonstrate its maximal entertaining value: recreation at less cost.
