In Korea, what tends to be summed up by our one Valentine's Day is instead spread out over three. My understanding is that February 14th is Valentine's Day, or Red Day, where the girls give something to the guys. March 14th is White Day, where the guys give something to the girls. And April 14th is Black Day, where single people get together and eat 자장면 (jajangmyeon) in misery.
Despite not being a guy and being semi-“new” to boot, I got a few delicious gifts this year:
The large chocolate bar is from a kindergartener I don't even teach, but whose class is grouped with mine for some events. The little chocolate ball is from one of my American co-workers, who brought in chocolate for all the teachers and all of his students. And the bag is from one of my kindergarten girls. Inside was a cardboard house that contained a wonderful sampler of chocolates!
