| Japan is ready for Valentine's Day! (Follow me on Instagram!) |
Better late than never eh?
Today's Tops Tuesdays post is dedicated to everyone's favourite time of the year... St. Valentine's Day.
Here in Japan, Valentine's Day is celebrated with the practise of girls giving small chocolates to their male friends. As opposed to Western customs surrounding Valentine's Day, the giving of chocolate to associates other than one's boyfriend is called "giri-choco" (obligatory chocolate) as most girls feel obliged to extend the act of giving beyond their current love interest.
The boys' turn comes on White Day in March, when receivers of Valentine's Day chocolates are expected to reciprocate in kind to the girls in their lives.
Happy Valentine's Day! (Bah, humbug!)
A late Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you had a good one :)
