From Asahi Shimbun, via China Daily:

What with real estate prices the way they are, who wouldn’t want their apartment to be a little more virtual? And with free love thrown in to boot?

Almost half a million Chinese seem to feel the same way, if the success of iPartment is any indication.

The Chinese-language site is an online world in which you can find a boyfriend or girlfriend and live together in an apartment.

A kind of cheap, commitment-free practice for domestic life, iPartment is a hit here among university students and young white-collar workers, the two groups perhaps most likely to live in dorms.
