Happy White Day!
Koreans love emotional schmultz, so they need not one, but two Valentine’s Days.
In Korea, Valentine’s Day, February 14th, is the day where the woman give the man chocolate and showers him with love. Then March 14, White Day, is when the man returns the favor. Lucky for me, Adam and I had a good ol’ American Valentine’s Day last month– he brought me out to a romantic dinner of at our friend’s Mediterranean bistro, Ape With Pipe (I did my part, and gave him a pack of chocolate covered almonds from 7-11). Then tonight, he treated me again for White Day, taking me to a tapas place nearby. Ahh, it was delicious.
Along the theme of treating the woman, and because I’ve heard a lot of talk about International Women’s Day approaching, Adam and I took about an hour at dinner to list female role models, strong women A-Z.
For example:
A- Amelia Earhart, Anne Frank, Aphrodite
B- Beatrix Potter, Bette Midler
C- Cate Blanchett,
D- Doris Rau (my grandma), Dorcas (Bible character), Dorthea Lang
E- Esther (Bible character), Eleanor Roosevelt, Ella FitzgeraldCan you do it?
It’s after midnight now, but I wish you ladies on the other hemisphere a happy White Day!
