二月十四日(nigatsu jyuyokka): February 14

Happy Valentine's Day!

How do you spend St. Valentine's Day in your country?
In Japan this is the day when girls and women give chocolates to boys and men whom they like. If he is the true love, the chocolate is called honmei (本命), literally true life. If he is just a friend or a boss, the given chocolate is called giri choko(義理チョコ), meaning obligation chocolates. Since today is Sunday, a fewer giri choko are given, I guess.

They say today is the New Year in the Chinese Calendar. A Happy New Year!!
