On Friday, one day before Valentine's Day, we learned about "giri choco" and the girls of the class were not too impressed.
In Japan, only the girls buy chocolate on Valentine's Day. And some of the chocolate they buy isn't even for their boyfriend or crush. It's "obligation chocolate" that they have to buy for co-workers or bosses.
One of my students wants to hear from Kazuko's English Village about Valentine's Day. Specifically, she wants to know what is the most famous or expensive type of chocolate in Japan.
We talked about how the Japanese don't really say "I love you" very much, but we learned how to say it anyway. We also tried our hand at writing "kokoro" with the shodoh set I received in Ena City. Let's just say we are no masters yet.
