Paper Hearts Day!

Japan celebrates Valentines Day differently than in America. Although both cultures exchange chocolate or something of the sort, the meaning behind the gift his different. In America, homemade or expensive chocolate is given by ladies to guys that they show romantic interest in. Inexpensive chocolate is given to friends, coworkers, etc. In America, Women are showered with gifts such as dinners, flowers, and candy. But Japanese women also receive something in return, just not on February 14th. On March 14th, women receive a gift in return from the guy they showed romantic interest in the month before. Some women receive chocolate or even a marriage proposal!

I like the idea of White Day and the Japanese Valentines Day. I think that women should equally show their interest and not always be the one receiving gifts.

I think it's important to show friends, family and coworkers that you appreciate the support they have given and acknowledge them as an important person in life.

If I was in Japan, I think I'd celebrate "the Japanese way." It would be an experience and would also show my appreciation for the country and it's values and traditions.
