Valentine's day is a holiday celebrated on February, 14. On this day, couples exchange presents, greeting cards, sweet words, and many other love proofs. Most of the time, the presents offered are flowers, chocolates, and candies. It is a good opportunity for couples to go to the cinema, or in a good restaurant. Single people may think it is the good day to confess their feelings to the person they love. It is above all a favorable day for poesy and romanticism. It can also be a good opportunity for old couples to rekindle their love.

This date is mostly celebrated in Western countries, and comes from the Ancient Rome, when February embodied the fruitfulness. In the Eastern countries, this day tends to be generalized, notably in China where more and more young people celebrate it?

In Japan, women are compelled to offer chocolate to men they are appealed to. In respond to this, men who received chocolate have to offer back a white present to the women who gave it to them, during the ?White Day? celebrated on March 14.
