I'm getting quite excited for Valentine's Day because I'm expecting lots of goodies from my students (AND my Auntie Anne bought me tattoo valentine's day cards that I can pass out to my co-workers and good students). But get this! In South Korea, there's not only Valentine's Day on the 14th, but there's also the subsequent White Day on March 14th, and Black Day on April 14th! Let me explain: on Valentine's Day girls give chocolates to guys, on White Day guys respond by giving candies back to the girls, and then on Black Day guys and girls who didn't receive anything (either on Valentine's Day, White Day, or both) celebrate/sulk together and eat jajangmyeon (black sauce noodles). Isn't this a funny way to enjoy being single? Here's an article about it on Reuters: Black day for love, big day for noodles. What do you think about this?? XOXO
I like how the girls get to initiate! Finally women have first dibs. Who are you giving chocolates to Kier????
