New way to spend May Day

The 7-day May Day holiday will arrive very soon, and many office people
in Beijing have decided to stay here to enjoy themselves at "home
parties", instead of exhausting travels.

Susan, a freelancer, plans to invite her friends to see movies, sing
karaoke together or even host a photo exhibition in her
apartment."Everywhere else will be overcrowded during the holiday, " said
Susan. "At home, I'll treat my friends to homemade dishes, for I myself
have been eating too much fast food recently."

Unlike "home parties" in the past, which were the last option of
entertainment for many people, many office people nowadays enjoy such
parties because they appreciate the simple and calm lifestyle, having
felt tired of the bustle and hustle of urban life.

"I feel very comfortable at home parties, for every one else around are
my good friends, and I can eat and drink to my heart's content," said
Jing.

"Maybe we will host a brain dumping first to collect good ideas to host
innovative home parties," said Joey, who works for an advertising agency.
Joey believes "home parties" will help him extend his interpersonal
relations, while he can relax thoroughly.

Many young people will host such parties by turns with friends in the
forthcoming 7-day holiday.
