The women get the guys gifts of games and cologne. The men then return the favor on White day the next month on March, 14 and this day is called White day. Where the men give the women gifts. The next month  anyone that did not receive a gift in the previous months will go to a local chinese restaurant and eat a type of noodles called  jjajangmyeon. This is what I learned.

It is celebrated on the 14th of February just like in the U.S., instead of giving roses people will get white flowers for Valentines day and those flowers are called snowdrops. They also do things called, “lovers cards” where they give the person that they like a card.The person who receives the card then has to try and guess who had given them the card. If they guess the person right then they get an, “easter egg.”

At first lovers cards was just a card that would reflect the lover presenting a gift that they had gotten for the person that they like. Other things that they do is that they give the person that they like a poem called a gaekkebrev. They don’t sign their name though. Instead, they put dots on it. The person who receives the card then has to try and guess who had given them the card. If they guess the person right then they get an, “easter egg.”

But they have two different kinds of chocolate, Giri-choco and honmei-choco. Giri-choco is chocolate given to the guy with no intentions of love or romance. Honmei-choco is the opposite. Often japanese women will make the honmei-choco themselves so they can make it with love. Days close to valentine's day, the stores will be packed with chocolate, things to make chocolate, and women. But on March 14, one month later, on a holiday called “White Day”, the men give return gifts to the women. Most likely something white hence the name.

Many people send teddy bears, toy hearts, and Chocolates and other candy. Hotels may be busy because people take their partner there. This is not a public holiday so schools and jobs don't close. “Symboles are  heart shapes, which are used to decorate things like trees, cards, wrapping paper, cookies and gift boxes.” (https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada/valentine-day)

It is on the 7th day of the 7th Chinese lunar month. It is not a public holiday. Double Seventh Festival is the most romantic holiday. In the past it was celebrated by demonstrating dexterity, worshiping the star Vega, honoring oxen, and they made and ate skill fruit. These traditions have faded with time. Today they give chocolate, flowers, or other presents to their significant other. Another popular thing to do is go on a special date or have a romantic dinner. Their tradition is celebrated by all people in China. Some men in China will show their appreciation for the women by making a rich dinner and buying them an elegant dress. Also if men give their girlfriend or spouse yellow flowers it is the declaration of breaking up. Neither should an umbrella or shoes be a gift. China's Valentine's Day is a very romantic holiday.

They send cards to their near and dear ones with special Valentine messages. The schools have kids write poems and send them out to have them go to whoever they wrote to. The people prefer a small get together or a romantic dinner where they can give gifts to their love ones to make them feel special. They also have a game they play where  men and women put their names on a piece of paper and the men put their names in one hat and the women put their names in one hat. Then the women pick a name out of the men's hat and  whoever the they get they have to stick with them the rest of the party.

They celebrate it on June 12th because that is Saint Anthony's Day Eve ( day where Saint Anthony is remembered for blessing young couples with prosperous marriages). Young couples usually exchange gifts ( chocolates, flowers Ect.) and/or a date night. Houses are decorated with beautiful decorations, and streets have colorful street decorations. They also have parades and carnivals (they commonly samba dance or dance to folk music). Single women do a specail ritual to attract a good boyfriend or husband. They do not celebrate Febuary 14 because it is too close to the Brazilian Carnival.

They might sit on the couch and watch a Russian Movie to practice their fluency on Russian language ;).  Giving flowers is also another way to express love. But giving flowers is the most romantic way to express your love there. But Valentine's day used to be banned in a city of Russia called Belgorod. It happened a couple of years ago. They banned it because Belgorod's government said that it was not originally made in Russia. They also said that it did not have good morals for the kids growing up.

It is celebrated on February 14 each year. Valentinsdagen isn’t as much of a big deal in Norway as it is in the United States. It is used for Norwegians to discover more about each other’s lives. People in Norway don’t even use it as a romantic day. Instead of sending flowers or giving candy, they usually just send postcards to their loved ones. (https://evavarga.net/alle-hjerters-dag/)
