Japan is so cool! I'm sure there are not many countries where the train companies hand out chocolates to all the commuters on Valentine's Day. That's the chocolate in the front. The rest were from my pupils.

The extra is a tin of chocolates from Kazuko. What did I buy her for Valentine's Day? Nothing. No, I'm not mean. You see, Japan has an extra holiday on March 14, White Day, when the boys buy return gifts to the girls who gave them gifts on Valentine's Day. The boys gift should be worth 20% more than the gift from the girls.

Shrewd merchants, the Japanese.
