Enjoying Valentine's Day when you're single

Words and translated by Audrey Liu

For someone who's still single, Valentine's Day can be a bit challenging. While some people just ignore the day, the fact that Valentine's Day falls on Sunday in 2016 means that perhaps you can consider ways to enjoy this day even if you're unattached.

One idea is to invite friends in a similar situation and enjoy a fun night partying together. Taichung's many famed motels offer a variety of facilities that everyone--including friends and family members--can enjoy, extending to even swimming pools with water slides.

Because you are still single, this can be a great occasion to pamper yourself as well. Why not consider a big change, like a new hairstyle? Remember that anyone can take advantage of all the special discount offers available at Valentine's Day. So make use of these with some fun shopping, or reserve a great dinner with friends--a restaurant won't turn you down just because you aren't lovers.

Finally, while couples are agonizing over what to do and how to spend Valentine's Day, singles can smile, kick back, and savor a relaxing weekend at home, perhaps with a bottle of wine and a good movie. There are certainly some advantages to being single this time of the year, aren't there?

Happy Valentine's Day!
