Description
Today is the valentines day ,here in Japan they organize the things quite differently but,it may have the same "endings".in march we have the "white day" that , is the "reply" day for the men who got chocolate as a present today.
the meaning is like that . :
today as you may have seen in the anime like "shana",the women cook
(most buy) 
,a chocolate to a friend or someone you want 
want so this someone
may response 
your "offer" (.. gasp..) by 
/
- 
/
replying the chocolate in the white day (april). 
pretty simple , traditional and quite yumi
!this is the thousand "origami tsuru" that are made as a promise for something you wish,or actually,if you do that you may deserve a wish, truth being told.
and be thankful if your wish was granted

My birthday is in February 14th, but we don't celebrate Valentines here in Brazil... XD
Instead there is a day similar to Valentines, on June 12th. I think the name can be translated to 'Lovers Day'
Anyway, very beautiful pic!!!

I remember about learning about White's Day through Harvest Moon and some other anime I watched as a child. I thought it was quite cute. ^^

wow that's cool how japan celebrates v-day! here (in america) it's so commercialized like christmas. i hate it. the media tries to pressure people into thinking that flowers and candy aren't enough - you have to buy expensive gifts as well!
valentine's day is my wedding anniversary. 5 years!

In Russia, 23th of February is the Day of The Defender - it's a custom to give presents for men. The next stop is 8th of March - The Women's Day, when all women are congratulated. These are state holidays.

i didn't see that coming
most of the time people do a comment but,the stress part i never thought about it.
Well,lucky you will spend a Vday with someone someday.
I can only tell you that the only person i spent my Vday was and it is my wife,my old girlfriends didn't last that long to celebrate nothing.
i didn't last ...actually
