Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Seven)

Valentine's Day and White Day are actually pretty simple, except that I always get it mixed up which is which (and legit had to go check just now). Basically, Valentine's Day (and later White Day) was brought here by chocolate companies, who did a really good job of making it all about the chocolate. So instead of the western traditions of like, dinner dates, cards, etc., it's basically just about confectionery and gifts.

On Valentine's Day, women give chocolate or gifts (but usually chocolate) to men; on White Day, the men return the favor. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with romantic interest, especially at work, where people give "obligation" chocolate.

What about Black Day? I'm not sure if that's a Japanese thing or not.

Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Seven)

[yeahscience]

I've never seen anyone actually do that here.

Black Day is a Korean thing where they eat black noodles if they're single on April 14.

I know *what* it is. I just wasn't sure if it was done in Japan or not

'Obligation chocolate'. Way to take the fun out of it!

That is legit the name! Giri-choco.

I don't eat chocolate (serious caffeine problems) and I usually just don't participate, but then I'm an unlovable shrew.

Even shrews deserve a tasty treat.
