Your Son and My Daughter

This was unreal, a Saturday in people's park in Shanghai, parents of unwed children meet to negotiate, swaggle, haggle and get their kids married off. We had heard about this happening and laughed it off, then we accidently walked right in the middle of it yesterday. There were signs that I could not read noting height weight and God knows what else. No suitors or fair ladies present only the parents to do the talking. I mean, it is genius...I just wonder if the kids know what their parents are up to. This would take Arabia by storm and India I would imagine. Gotta give it to the Chinese for just getting down to business and taking the romance out of it. Match.com has nothing on this operation.
