Valentine's Day
What kind of Valentine's Day do you like most? How do you celebrate your Valentine's day ?
Happy Valentine's Day
In 1797, a British publisher issued The Young Man's Valentine Writer, which contained scores of suggested sentimental verses for the young lover unable to compose his own. Paper Valentines became so popular in England in the early 19th century that they were assembled in factories.

In South Korea, similar to Japan, women give chocolate to men on February 14, and men give nonchocolate candy to women on March 14 (White Day). On April 14 (Black Day), those who did not receive anything on the 14th of Feb or March go to a Korean restaurant to eat black noodles (자장면 jajangmyeon) and "mourn" their single life.

In Denmark and Norway, although February 14 is known as Valentinsdag, it is not celebrated to a large extent, but is largely imported from American culture, and some people take time to eat a romantic dinner with their partner, to send a card to a secret love or give a red rose to their loved one. Sweden it is called Alla hjärtans dag ("All Hearts' Day") and was launched in the 1960s ... In Brazil, the Dia dos Namorados (lit. "Lovers' Day", or "Boyfriends'/Girlfriends' Day") is celebrated on June 12, probably because it is the day before Saint Anthony's day, known there as the marriage saint, when traditionally many single women perform popular rituals, called simpatias, in order to find a good husband or boyfriend
