Valentine's Day

Feb 18, 2009 11:19

Valentine's Day is really, really big here in Japan. This is the day when girls can confess their love to their special someone with a gift of (usually) handmade chocolate sweets. Unecessarily to mention chocolate sells like nothing else the days leading up to Valentine's. It was crazy and packed with people everywhere for like a week. Many shops ( Read more... )

We are...? :O

Haha, yeah. It's a random image I found on the net. Been trying to find out who did it but with no luck.

That's cool you got to witness Japanese Valentines-Day! I know all about it from anime.. *Feels lame for knowing it that way XD* but yeah! Wow that chocolate body thing looks amazing. BWAHAHA. The Sakura gift is BEAUTIFUL holy smokes!! I'd love to buy that and put it on display! <3

Also you guys are so adorable!

I learnt alot about it from anime and Jdorama as well before coming here. Nothing wrong with that! :)
I know. This was a pretty modest chocolate box too. There were some crazy stuff. Like chocolate that looked like planets (they even had a Saturnus with rings around it).

Thanks, hehe! <3

Hi... My name's Natasha, funkywufeithang pointed me to your journal. I'm studying in Japan for the year as well, in Tokyo. :) I was wondering if I could friend you? Always nice to know other people in Japan, hehe.

mirre February 23 2009, 18:55:08 UTC

Oh, hello! :)
Of course you can friend me! I'll friend you right back too. My year here is almost over soon though (I'll be going home mid-April). But if you end up in Kyoto before that - just let me know!

Ahh~ sadly I doubt I will be; currently back in the States and get back end of March, and then classes start... Ah well! At least you leave before it gets all super-humid. Not really looking forward to that. :p

Yea... I was here all of last summer. It was almost like being slowly boiled for a couple of months. D:
Too bad I won't see you though. But I'll likely go to the US sometime. I'm trying to pick off all of the continents, hehe.
