Valentine’s Day is an important time in America. Sometimes women will give a present to their husbands or boyfriends, but men must give something to their wives or girlfriends.
Sometimes we give chocolates. Sometimes we give flowers. Sometimes we plan a romantic dinner date. But we must do something special.
Even though I am in Japan, I still follow the American tradition. Now I am making plans for Valentine’s Day. What should I do?
Tonight I went to a party in a quiet area. It was in an old house. I love traditional Japanese homes, so I was very happy. The sliding screens had beautiful, old calligraphy on them. Around the house there were many cherry trees in full bloom. It was so beautiful.
We ate chicken, beef, and vegetables cooked in pots on the table. There was a lot of food. Almost everyone drove, so we drank tea instead of alcohol.
The guests were all students from an English class. Many members have new girlfriends and boyfriends, so there was some fun conversation about love.
