Well, it's like Christmas in Japan. Who knew that one needed to by KFC in order to have a "proper" Christmas?

I personally am a bit annoyed that there is that double standard in Japan. I hate how they take a Western holiday and twist it into something ugly that costs women so much money and doesn't really even show affection for the individuals. Plus, most of the men will throw away the chocolate anyway because they can't eat it all. It's just something that really doesn't sit well with me either. It's really not all that fair.


Well, they do have White Day, which is like Valentine's Day, except the guys go out and spend money. 3nodding

Yes, but the guys on White Day only spend money on one person. Their significant other. They don't have to spend money on any of the other women who were obligated to buy chocolates for them on Valentine's Day. It's quite annoying to say the least.

Well, we do have to keep an open mind about these things; it's not very nice to criticize other cultures, even if you don't agree with how they do things (and I'm totally not meaning to sound like I'm talking down to you .... just can't think of anything else to contribute to this conversation sweatdrop ).
