Japan: In Japan, it’s the women who take the lead! On February 14, women gift chocolates to men, but there’s a twist—different types of chocolates carry different meanings. "Giri-choco" (obligation chocolate) is given to colleagues and male friends, while "Honmei-choco" (true love chocolate) is reserved for romantic partners. A month later, on White Day (March 14), men return the favor by giving gifts, often something white like marshmallows or white chocolate.

Denmark: Instead of traditional red roses, Danish lovers exchange pressed white flowers called snowdrops. They also have a playful tradition called "Gaekkebrev," where men write funny or poetic anonymous love letters. If the woman correctly guesses the sender, she receives an Easter egg later in the year!

South Korea: South Koreans don’t limit love to just one day—they have a romantic holiday on the 14th of every month! While February 14 and March 14 (White Day) follow Japan’s tradition, April 14 is "Black Day," where singles gather to eat black noodles (jajangmyeon) and celebrate their singlehood.

Brazil: Instead of February 14, Brazil celebrates "Dia dos Namorados" (Lovers' Day) on June 12. The country skips the February festivities due to its world-famous Carnival, but on June 12, couples exchange gifts, and love is celebrated with music, festivals, and fireworks.

Love is a universal language, but every culture adds its own twist!
