Japanese Style of Valentine's Day

   American Valentine's Day has a lot of differences from Japanese Valentine's Day. The last Valentine's Day was my first time that I spent in the USA, and I was very confused. In Jpapan, only girls have to give chocolates to their lovers, but in the USA, also men have to give to women. However, we have White Day that only men give chocolates in return for women's gifts. I have heard Americans give chocolates only their lovers, but we usually give our close friends and collegues of men. I like American style because we can get gifts same time, and we can be happy together, so I want Japan to change to American style.

  1. In Korea, women gives some chocolates to men on Valentine's Day. It is same to Japan. In my case, I always have received some gifts from my husband on our anniversaries since we met. Last Valentine's Day was the only one except. I prepared some gifts for him, and it made me happy. WHATEVER~! Valentine's Day is great~!^_^

  2. You can give chocolates or candy to anyone. It's red roses that are special. Usually only men give red roses to women, not the other way around.
