White Day

March 14 is White Day in many Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Celebrated a month after Valentine’s Day, it is a day when men repay the attention and generousity shown them by women on February 14 (traditionally a day when women give men presents) by giving chocolate and other gifts of affection.

White Day began in 1978 in Japan and is gradually becoming popular throughout Asia.
