Valentine's Day is around the corner, and the one thing keeping me from ignoring the holiday like always is the fact that I'm in Japan!!! Now, for those of you that don't know how Valentine's Day works in Japan, I will add a brief explanation.
Girls give chocolates to guys (the person they like or just a friend [they can also give chocolate to their girl friends]). They can buy it or make it, and how cool would it be to make chocolate? At least, I think it would be cool.
Here's the thing about Valentine's Day though. If you give a guy chocolates, he has to get you a gift for White Day on March 14th.
I'm going to be honest and say I wish I could participate in both, but I'm only going to participate in Valentine's Day since I really don't know any guys here yet.
I'm going to make oreo bonbons, and I'm going to give them to otosan, okasan, the 3 RAs and my friends. I do have a dilemma though...one of the RAs is a guy...Veronica suggested that I find out where his refrigerator is in the downstairs kitchen and put it in there secretly, which I think would be funny, and similar to what a kid does in elementary school. haha I think I'm just going to give his to Eriko so she can give it to him without him knowing it's from me.
I was happy to buy the little decorated boxes with wrappers in them for the chocolates...in fact, I was so happy that I didn't realize the cute bunny boxes actually said 'I'm in love with you.' Seriously? I'm not in love with anybody! So I have to go back to the store and buy some new ones...
Anyway, I'm nervous about making the bonbons...I think I might mess up, but at least trying should be fun!
I guess I will post an update on how it goes later!
