HEADS UP: White Day (March 14th)
« on: March 10, 2011, 11:22:16 am »
Hey everyone,

Just a heads up.  White day is coming up on March 14th.  Although mostly celebrated in Japan and South Korea, it's been gaining popularity in China as well...

For those who don't know, it's the Japanese version of a reverse Valentine's Day (although in Japan, Feb 14th is when a lot of girls give chocolates or some other type of gift to their boyfriends).

Actually, it's the other way around... you need to have candy (expensive stuff) to give to her...  :o

I gotta say, I am with Arnold on this one.  If its reverse, why would he buy for his wife?  Or is this one of those double negatives?

Because February 14th is when girls would give the guys chocolate and March 14th is when the guys reciprocate by giving something more expensive =]

So let me see if I got this right..... February 14th is "Reverse" Valentines day (where girls give boys chocolates) in Japan and March 14th is "White" day when boys give girls chocolates in Japan.

But when we celebrated Valentines day it was celebrated as when people who cared for eachother gave their love interest candies and/or cards. I am getting a little confused about all this....

Could we maybe just every once in a while randomly give our love interest some chocolates or candies?
