America has March 14th designated as Steak and BJ day. Only if more women would honor this day, then American men have made out.

Interesting entry. I thought about writing about the Japanese Valentine’s Day custom as well, but decided to rant about Vday instead

My friends in Japan say that a Japanese man introduced Valentine’s Day in Japan after being in America.

Thanks for finally explaining this custom. I’d seen too much anime where only the women gave gifts on Valentine’s Day, and I was starting to think all Japanese men were jerks.

I think I’ll talk to my wife about starting to follow Japanese tradition in this matter. Of course, I already have V-Day gifts ready, so it’ll probably be next year before we could actually start… though I suspect she’ll want to observe White Day starting this year.
