ホワイトデー

It sounds expensive! Especially the Giri Choco bit; are you expected to really splurge on your boss, or will a simple Kitkat do? xD Makes me glad this sort of thing isn't expected here, sans back in elementary school where everyone insisted you make piddly little valentine's cards for your entire class. If we -did- have white day here, I'd probably figure boys were only giving me gifts over obligations from valentine's day, instead of any other reason, anywho ^^; Self confidence what?

White day not caught up in my part of the world. Usually its the guy who gives chocolates to girls during valentines from where i come from(and loads of other stuff too). Come to think, if its the guy giving chocolates(loads of other stuff too) to girls during valentines, shouldn't there be a day where a girl gives you know...something...back?

In the States, we just do choco/gift exchanges on Valentine's Day...no White Day necessary... ^^

No white day here; it's Pi Approximation Day! >:D MIT gives out their Reg. Decision results at 1:59PM today.

No formal white day celebration but we just force ourselves to do it. It's fun after all, and it makes you feel not too ronery. ^^;

I think in Korea, there's a Valentine's Day, White Day and even a Black Day. And the Black day is something like for people who don't get any chocolates or candy on Valentine's Day or White Day.

So uhh.. when one gets none at Valentine's, one doesn't have to give any right?

If a guy receive chocolate on valentine day, he must buy a gift like 3-5x the price for the girl in return on white day. ^^

Well, that was what a read in manga.

Hmm, I always thought the guys were the ones who gave chocs and stuff to the girls on Valentine's day.

No White Day in the US. Just Valantines Day and Sweatest Day.

My Pacific Rim: Japan teacher in college first taught me what White Day was... Along with white chocolate, a guy can also give pantsu, as long as it's white ^^;

All the while I thought Valentine's is a day where girls give chocolate to guys.
Until one day, I realized this phenomenon only happens in Japan XD
We don't celebrate white day here. Most folks don't even know what is white day to begin with...

Nope not here. T-T
For me, I would like to celebrate "White Day".

White Day, China also has one.

Only Filipino otakus know of White Day here. I never received any chocolates during Valentine's Day so I'm not going to give anyone chocolates today either.

I did bought chocolates earlier today for myself x_x

I plan to sacrifice a hallow chocolate Easter bunny to Haruhi... As part of my ritual to make her not be melancholy, bored, upset, depressed, etc. :3

Valentines Day is only a one day thing that goes both ways here...

It's usually guys who give stuff on Valentines. So there's no need for a white day in America.

haven't heard of this white day ^^

I wonder if it's sadder to have no White Day to receive anything or to have a White Day and receive nothing at all.

black day next month will be more applicable for me. ^^;

No white day in italy. An on valentines here lovers exchange gifts (i mean, guy give some stuff to lady and viceversa) so no need for white day.
As for me it would not make difference -_-

"not a bukkake" hahahahahahaha

No white day in our area too, but I really wish valentines day was like in Japan (the girls give you the choco) but no white day ^^!! lol

No white day around these parts. Here in Germany it's normally up to the man to buy his women some flowers or take her out to her favourite restaurant (women will normally expect both from you). Both giving each other presents is also common (with that I mean everything else than the usual, men gets his woman a present and takes her out and gets sex in return).

I received a photo of chokoretto on this Valentine Day, today I returned her a photo of Kare Raisu~~~~~

sweet :D i wish i received any white choko from bishounen XD

So that's why there was so many "lovey dovey" couples on the train tonight.

In America, at least where I live, its more common to take your girl out to a nice dinner without the cards/chocolate/gifts/flowers.

sounds QAWWOMW .

never got anything from at white day

...Funny thing, that. In my university Japanese course a couple of us are trying to celebrate Japanese holidays for the fun of it. Earlier in February some of the girls brought chocolate to class and I got some giri choco.

Now, two weeks or so back, we had skit presentations. Long story short I ended up playing a female role, and since I live by the policy that anything worth doing is worth doing with all my effort I put on a great performance...

Thus I was treated as a girl this week for White Day and got more chocolate. *facepalm* Oh well, best of both worlds? xD

I think I'd shut myself in on Valentine's Day to be sure I don't receive anything, that way I don't have to go broke for White Day. Nothing like that here I guess the US hasn't learned how to capitalize off the idea in the best way possible yet. Sounds like a good strategy for the economy though.

This hasn't caught on here. Usually the guy gives stuff to the girl too on valentines day.

Ahhh White Day. I first learnt about White Day in CCSakura lol. It hasn't caught on in the UK though. Suprising though, considering how much we love holidays...

White day is not celebrated here. And I didn't do anything on the Valentines day either because I had to be in reserve service in the army:(

".. but because she expects a pay rise come next evaluation season"
One of life's hard truths:P

White day would be attacked in America, even though 85% of us are in fact White. It would be seen a preferential treatment and racist. In the land of majority rule the majority are full of fear of being branded as racist. What a world Liberals have created (or ruined)for common sense. Speaking of common sense, it's amazing how we fall for these silly "product" based holidays...speaking of which, Mothers day is almost here, I gotta get a card!

Say White Day here in the states and most will think it's a sale day for bedding.

Meanwhile I'll be celebrating Pi day today

Haven't received...so no need to give anything...

Theres no white day here in the states but the closest thing that comes to it in regards to the workplace is bosses day and secretaries day. There is also a industry made sweetest day thats more regional to the mid western states. If I ever go back to a managing position I would never give out a raise because someone bought me a box of chocolates. It would be better to decline the gifts as accepting them can be seen in the wrong light.

White Day isn't celebrated in my state (dunno about the others, really) but my friends and I still celebrate it. It isn't limited to chocolate, though - I gave one of my friends art for White Day, haha. TAT;

Never heard of it!! In fact, here in Brazil, we do not celebrate Valentine's Day in february. The reason is because decades ago a big Store launched a special sale in June, a season of the year that has no special dates here. And from then on, this date "catched" and became our Valentine's Day.

Here we don't give chocolates, like in Japan. That's a pitty, because I never dated, so if I lived in Japan at least I could receive some chocolate from friends or co-workers...

Strange that it is also Pi Day. Everyone celebrate your irrational numbers and circles today!

Nobody around here even knows what White Day is, aside from us Otaku types. It's usually the guys giving chocolates or whatever to the girls on Valentines day, or both parties exchanging gifts.

Part of me thinks that the girls around here wouldn't object to White Day.

Haha it's not celebrated here officially, but to those who know of it they sometimes give gifts to girls.

I know someone who got a new figma for White Day since she helped her male friend get a new figure in the last month

Albert Einstein was born on March 14th, great day indeed to the human race.

buying gifts for loved ones = serious business
then the chance they may keep it or chuck it away = 50/50
either way, retailers makes money

Anyone for April 14th open table?

Black day mourn.. so RONERY

Well I may hath missed it this year by 3 frigging weeks but I can now say yay I can make my move to Japan. Ill be Living near Osaka for a while till i getup the moneys to move to tokyo. Ill still come here alot so i can drive my H3 up to tokyo and not miss out on the fun. I hate that thing but its what im being given so.

I celebrate it with my friends, even though 99% of them have no clue what it's about. But I just give them chocolates anyway ^^;

I cannot believe no one mentioned that March 14th is Steak and BJ Day!

Here in Chile we have not, and ladies who try to raise payment through this methods are not well looked.

I wonder if there's anything specific that girls can give to guys on White Day :o?

I was some REAL flake chocolate from england, man that stuff is amazing
