February 14 is Valentine`s Day.In Japan,we have a different culture.It is the day on which young women should give small gifts,commonly chocolate,not only to their boy friends,but also to their colleagues or bosses as showing their love or gratitude.We call it 「Giri Choco(Obligation Chocolate)」because it is given from the sense of obligation,not from love.And we have another special day that we call it White Day(March 14).If a man get a chocolate from a woman,he has to return a gift to her.This is Japanese Valentine`s Day.But, we have a new style of it recently.It is that young women eat their chocolate that they make with their friends.It is kind of strange for me.
Anyway,I was surprised I heard that a man give some gift and make a plan(like dinner) in Canada.We have same special days in the world.But Japanese culture are different from another county.I prefer Japanese Valentine`s Day to Canada`s.
