Conosci // Do you know ホワイトデーo((*^▽^*))o ?
=================
Nato nel 1978 come trovata promozionale dell' Associazione nazionale
delle industrie dolciarie,si e' ormai sviluppato il WHITE DAY ホワイトデー (howaito
dē).
Si festeggia il 14 Marzo, esattamente un mese dopo la ricorrenza del San
Valentino.
Cosi, se ad esempio un ragazzo ha ricevuto la cioccolata Honmei (本命チョコ
cioccolato dato alla persona amata), e ricambia i sentimenti, deve
ricambiare il gesto con un dono di valore maggiore rispetto alla
cioccolata ricevuta. In tempi recenti comunque si puo' rispondere al
gesto anche con un regalo significativo per la coppia ma non per forza
prezioso o costoso.

ホワイトデーとは、バレンタインデーにチョコレート等をもらった男性が、
お返しにキャンディーやマシュマロ等をお返しする日です。ホワイトデーが3月14日になったのは、
269年2月14日、兵士の自由結婚禁止政策に背いて結婚しようとした男女を救う為、バレンタイン司教が殉教し、
その一ヶ月後の3月14日に、その2人は改めて永遠の愛を誓い合ったことに由来します。

White Day was first celebrated in 1978 in Japan, by the National
Confectionery Industry, and takes place on March 14th, exactly one month
after Valentine's Day.
On White Day men are supposed to give return gifts to women who gifted
them chocolates on Valentine's Day
For example, if a guy received Honmei chocolate (本命チョコ) got from the
girl who loves him, he should answer "Yes" if he also likes her with a
gift of greater value than that chocolate which he got.
If the answer was No (means he doesn't like that girl) he can just say "sorry"
without presents.
And also lately you can give a cheap gift ( just means thanks ) to girls
who gave you 義理チョコ(Giri chocolate) Example colleagues at work and
friends. Kitkat also can be Giri Choco.
Mainly these events are for love.
But also for going and working well their relationships at work, school
and so on.
