"One person can't pay for all spending, so another one is needed to share
it," Hangzhou citizen Mr. Wang said. Just like what he said, joint
spending has become quite popular among young adults in Hangzhou.

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.
