Happy White Valentine's Day!!

Again, I'm a little bit late to post this up but the day has not ended yet;)

Happy White Valentine's Day!

This is a special day mainly celebrated in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Today is the day whereby the males will give present to their partners in return of the Valentine's gifts they received exactly a month ago. The presents given to her must be more expensive, and sometimes the term sanbai gaeshi (literally, "thrice the return") is used to describe the generally recited rule that the return gift should be two to three times the cost of the Valentine's gift he received a month ago from her.

As for the singles in South Korea, there's Black Day which is celebrated on 14th April,- yep, one month from now. On this day, the singles will eat Jajangmyeon (white noodle with black soy sauce) as a sign of 'singledom'.

Anyone interested in eating it?
