Visiting People's Park

Kieran, Richard and I were driven to People's Park Saturday morning.  It was incredibly crowded with family groups wandering the grounds, playing cards or chess at tables, or taking advantage of the amusement rides.  The lotus were in bloom and were attracting a ton of attention.  I had no idea they were so huge!

We came upon rows of tents with signs (some handmade and others professionally done) hanging on the walls behind and tables set up with books and more paperwork.  This is the "marriage market" where those seeking partners can look for a suitable match.  Actually, not terribly different than Match.com.  Richard did note that most of the people there were older, and presumably were working on the behalf of their children.

As you can see, many of the postings were left on umbrellas.
