Valentine's day

02/15/2007

| | More

I am not dead, just very busy. Yamasa's speech contest is held in two weeks and today, we had the "qualifying round", therefore I spent a couple hours preparing specifically for that.

Yesterday was Valentine's day, and the rules are a little different in Japan so let me explain:

Rule 1: one offers chocolates

Rule 2: women give, men receive

Rule 3: women give not only to their boyfriend, but also to their friends, colleagues etc.

As a man it's pretty cool, you just receive chocolates from several people. However, men have to return gifts on the White day (March 14th).

Une adresse pour t'envoyer des chocolats ...

d'ailleurs, le cadeau que font les hommes en retour doit avoir une valeur 10 fois supérieure ! alors parfois ils se gardent bien d'accepter des chocolats...

C'est la première fois que j'entends ça, en tout cas à Nagoya ce n'est pas le cas.
Ceci dit ça arrive bientôt, je vais essayer de glaner de nouvelles infos à ce sujet...
