Happy Valentine's Day.. to everyone.. hehe.. I would like to share something.. about Japan and South Korea..
In Japan, a gal will present chocolate gifts (either store-bought or handmade) to a guy, as an expression of love on February 14. The handmade chocolate is usually preferred by the receiver, because it is a sign that the guy is the girl's "only one". In South Korea, the gals will also give chocolate to the guys.
One month later, on March 14, there is the White Day, created as a "reply day". In Japan, the guys who received a chocolate of love or chocolate of courtesy on Valentine's Day are expected to return the favor by giving gifts, usually more expensive. Traditionally, the popular gifts are cookies, white chocolate, marshmallows as well as jewelry, lingerie and stuffed animals. Unlike western countries, gifts such as candies, flowers, or dinner dates are uncommon.
In South Korea, the guys will return non-chocolate candy as a gift to the gals on White Day. Besides, Koreans also celebrate the Black Day, which set on April 14. This day is created for those who did not receive anything on the 14th of Feb or March. They will go to a Chinese restaurant and order black noodles to eat. This is to "mourn" their single life. The 14th of every month marks a love-related day in Korea, although most of them are obscure.
