My Funny Valentine

Has someone already used this image today? Undoubtedly!

So today is Valentine’s day. In Japan, this means that girls must give guys chocolate. For guys, it’s like a huge disgrace not to get chocolates. I actually read in my Japanese culture class that office ladies will give chocolates to guys they don’t like. But they smash the chocolates into like a billion pieces before handing it to the guy!

A month later is White day, on March 14th. This is when guys must give gifts back to the girls who gave them stuff a month ago. Or it’s the time for them to forget and face divine punishment.

Disclaimer: all of this was taken from memory, plus I don’t live in Japan or anything, so don’t necessarily take my word for it!

Oh, and if you wanna see me act like a doofus in front of the internet, click here!

    In my country (Czech Republic) we unfortunately dont have any tradition regarding to Valentine’s day. We “celebrate” this holiday a few years after we got a capitalistic country :-)
