Valentine's Day & White Day

1. I think that it is an interesting take on a holiday. I like how they decide to separate it into two different days. The idea of obligatory chocolates seems kind of strange, and if you had to give them to a lot of people I think that would get expensive. I guess that is kind of like what we did with Valentine's Day in grade school. It didn't go into too much detail what the guys would do for white day. I remember that guys can also give chocolate, but are they expected to do something more than that? I wouldn't mind trying to do a Valentine's Day the way it is done in Japan.

2. First of all I would like to ask what are the different events where people have to give gifts to each other. Second I would like to ask a point of clarification on obligatory chocolates. Does the girl just give them to people she is sort of friends with, or to just about to everyone she knows? If you are only giving some to your friends, I don't see much of a problem with the whole thing. I don't think that it would be that expensive, and it seems like something nice to do. I know that I would like to get a gift from someone, and I would also enjoy picking out a return gift for them. We have plenty of holidays here where we give gifts to people, and I normally enjoy those. Who cares why we give gifts, as long as it is fun, why should we stop doing it?

3. I would enjoy participating in Valentine's Day/White Day. I think it is so much easier for the guys because they only have to do return gifts. The people the guys are giving gifts to are already expecting gifts in return, whereas the girls have to go through picking people to give stuff out to. However on the same note, if the guys got a gift and didn't give one back, I think they would be in a worse situation than a girl who didn't give a guy a chocolate.
