VD is quite unique in Japan ... the girls are expected to prepare chocolates to their male co-workers and bosses. Yes, it's a girl to guy one-way chocolate road. The sweets floor of department stores are a complete mess of women in line to purchase boxes of brand-name chocolates, hopefully to their sweethearts ... but then, the girls around me were all in a rush to get reasonably priced boxes for workmates.
I, on the other hand ... well, I've got more love shoved into the plastic baggies that will be placed on to the ladies' desks. Not that they're anything expensive, but just a little more thought out. (Preparing chocolates for 30 people really does add up)
I love being American. I get away with so much more.
