In Japan, it is only the women who give presents (mainly chocolates) to men; Japanese women are usually too shy to express their love. Therefore, Valentine's Day was thought to be a great opportunity to let women express their feelings. It also a custom that smart chocolate companies spread to boost their sales and it has been very successful. Now, the chocolate companies in Japan sell more than half of their annual sales during the week before Valentine's Day. 


In Korea, couples wear same shirts or known as the “couple shirt” in Valentine’s Day to show how much they love each other. In the United States, Valentine’s Day is mainly a day catered to females. Men are responsible for planning dates, getting flowers, getting the right gift, etc.

People in South Africa totally indulge themselves in the African culture and art to celebrate the occasion of Valentine. Be it an old man of 60 or a young lass of 16, the joy of celebrating love is same in everybody. South Africans as well as tourists attend huge balls where they match their dancing steps and flow in the Valentine mood with different alcoholic beverages.

3. Kasalang-bayan. Actually, these are more popular in June, but there are some government and non-government agencies who conduct these events meant for financially-challenged couples. This wedding expo lets the public to witness a number of partners exchanged "I do's".

1. Pick-up lines. "Siguro dati kang ex-convict, kasi pinasok mo na nga ang utak ko, ninakaw mo pa ang puso ko." Cheesy. Pick-up lines have long been introduced in the Philippines. However, it just became popular because of Boy Pick-Up from GMA's longest running gag show, Bubble Gang. Though, pick up lines were not really funny, “the ka-corny-han” of it makes it more acceptable and sweet. I'm just wondering how a girl would react after she was given a pick-up line by his suitor.
