Korea has basically two "Valentines days". The first one is Valentines day, celebrated as you all know the 14th of February. The second is called White day, which is celebrated 14th of March. Valentines day is the day when the girls has to buy chocolate for their boyfriends and it's the boyfriends turn on white day.
These days are very depressing for many, especially, korean girls. The worst feeling is to be alone on a day like these, because there is some sort of love related couple-things and chocolate hearts everywhere. In Korea, many teens prefer to start a relationship, just to have someone to spend all these couple days with and there are many of them. Last year I wrote a post about them all, and you can read more about all the couple days HERE.
So today White day was knocking on our doors. The day when all the lucky girls gets a huge teddy bear, a massive amount of chocolate and a whole day full of "dating-activities" like dinner, movie, karaoke etc. So, since I'm a single non-Korean girl, I guess I have to be one of the crying girls, or maybe not.
One thing that is good about white day, is that the chocolate, cosmetics and all girly stuff are very cheap and on sale. So I'm not complaining at all. Even my lunch at the cafeteria was love inspired. My tteokbokki, rice cake meal, was heart shaped.
