    The Chinese version of Valentine’s Day

    It’s the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, which is traditionally known as “Chap Goh Mei” and also commercially known as the Chinese’ Valentine’s Day. Yup, today is THE day single girls throw mandarin oranges into the river and bachelors will fish them out somewhere downstream.
