Be my Valentine!

Today the 14th of February is St Valentine's Day.  In Japan St Valentine's Day is widely recognised as a day for women to tell her feeling to men she loves.  However it is transleted slightly differently in many other part of the world.

Wikipedia says that Saint Valentin's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimete companions.  The costoms are varied from country to country.

When I was teaching at the US Navy Base, the children of my class gave me some cards written something like, "Be my Valentine, Mr Jun."  It expressed thankfulness and affection.  That was nice.  In Japan women present chocolate to men.  That costom is a litte bit commercialised, introduced by a chocholate factory.  In the Western Countries giving flower is also common.

Today, I had my my new own business, "Inter-Cultural Lifestyle" resisterd.  Hope in coming years we are going to cerebrate our anniversaries on St Valentine's Day.
