So as you might know, but probably don't... It is one year ago that I made a post about pick-up lines and other tips and tricks to woo the ladies!
With St. Valentine's day coming up, I thought that I would make another post in the same kind of theme, because I am so thoughtful.......

So yeah, Valentine's day, a day of the year in which people can give a card and cheap chocolate to their significant other, a day of the year which most of us should know as a day where most people do nothing at all, especially in Denmark! Well in countries where the population is a little more hyped, Valentine's day is taken more seriously! Let me give you a recap of the Valentine's day everybody thinks of, which is of course is only seen in american movies and what not; the boy buys a card for some girl he likes or his girlfriend and they have a date, done. In Japan it is a different story! Japanese people love american or western traditions, but they always end up here so late... Anyways, they love christmas even though it means nothing to them, they love western toilets (which I am very grateful for), and they love Valentine's day! Valentines day came to Japan in the early 30's and it did not quite fit into their own traditions! In Japan girls work in the kitchen and the men work, it is still that way and who the hell cares besides Johanne? Well, the japanese people thought it would be weird for a boy to give a girl chocolate, so they switched the roles around! Now only girls give presents and chocolate to boys, in fact; they have to!! They even have a ranking system for how the chocolate is distributed! And note that this is ONLY from girl to boy! Anything else would be weird....
- Love Choco (for someone you love)
- Giri Choco (for anyone else, like your older students who you must respect)
- Tomo Choco (for friends)
- Fami Choco (for family, duh')
- Gyaku Choco (which literally means; reverse choco, which means that the boy gives the girl chocolate, which nobody does, that's why it has the bottom on the list)
So I am not sure how this will go down... Everybody is SUPER excited for it and I am hoping to get a lot of chocolate because after all, I derserve it.
