How to celebrate Valentine?

On 14 February is Valentine's Day, this day people show to their loved ones their appreciation. This day is celebrated in different ways depending on the country. For example in Japan they celebrate Tanobata and women are who give chocolate to men of the family, friends or colleagues, as if it were an obligation. But the woman who loves a man gives him another sweet, chocohommei. Also thousands of lovers go to Mount Fuji, to play three times the Bellof Love to convert the special friend in to a true love. In France, in the past, young women went to a house and the men to another, but they were in front so they could talk through the windows. If a man was not attracted by any women, he left the house. If that happen to a woman, to feel good, she could light a fire where she burned photos of the man and she insulted him. In Italy the tradition is that women wait in front of the window of their house for hours before the down and wait for their men to come. This is because a legend wrote by William Shakespeare in Hamlet, say the first man to appear, will marry them that year. Finally in England children celebrate it with special songs and receive gifts like candy, fruit or money. In some areas, they bake special Valentine biscuits.
