Valentine's Day in Japan is a bit different. In Japan, it is only the women who give presents (mainly chocolates) to men. Japanese women are usually too shy to express their love. Therefore, Valentine's Day was thought to be a great opportunity to let women express their feelings. Men are supposed to return gifts to women on a day called "White Day" (March 14th), a Japanese creation.
Don't get too excited when you get chocolates from Japanese girls! They might be "Giri-choko (obligation chocolate)."Women give chocolates not only to their loved ones ("A true love" chocolate is called "Honmei-choko.") "Giri-choko" is the chocolate given to men such as bosses, colleagues or male friends that women have no romantic interest in, just for friendship or gratitude.
Sorry, I posted too much. I just wanted to explain. (^_^)
