Happy Valentine's Day



Hi everyone, Happy Valentine's Day...

I would like to share something interesting that i read this morning...

People in Japan, only women give chocolates to men. It has also become an obligation for women to give chocolates to all male co-workers; giri-choko. This contrasts with honmei-choko; chocolates given to a loved one. Friends, especially girls, may exchange chocolate referred to as tomo-choko; from friend. On March 14, men are expected to return the favour to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine's Day and is called White Day.

In South Korea, women give chocolate to men on February 14, and men give non-chocolate candy to women on March 14. On April 14 (Black Day), those who did not receive anything on Valentine's Day or White Day will go to a Chinese restaurant to eat black bean noodles (ja jiang mian). The 14th of every month marks a love-related day in Korea.
