Happy Valentine’s day!

Valentines’ is celebrated a little differently here in Japan:

Girls give chocolate to the boys on valentine’s day!…..they got it backwards!! Valentine’s day is followed by ‘White Day’ in March which is when the guys return the favor to the girls in the form of sweets or presents.

Many of the girls at school baked their own sweets..I received all sorts of homemade cakes, cookies and sweets today!

This doesn’t help with my resolution of not eating (too many) sweets..
