Tomorrow is White Day in Korea. White Day falls on March 14th each year. ...But before I tell you about White Day, I should backtrack to Valentine's Day on February 14th.


In Korea, Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th as well, but in Korea, things are done a little differently. Here, Valentine's Day is a day for the GIRLs to give their BOYFRIENDS chocolate and gifts. That is right, my male foreigner friends: the guys don't give anything for Valentine's Day. >.< It seems so weird that one would spend Valentine's Day without even getting a flower from her loved one! Buuuuuut.....not to worry, my dear ladies, the guys are not completely off the hook. Instead, they have an extra month to plan everything! Koreans celebrate White Day as the day the GUYS give their GIRLFRIENDS gifts! So each gets a whole day completely devoted to doting on the other. <3


Guys, what will you give your loved one today?
