Obligation Chocolate Day
Happy Valentine’s Day! Even if you have a general philosophical disdain for this holiday, like me, you can still enjoy the different kinds of chocolate you may receive. Anybody out there getting any giri-choco (義理チョコ), tomo-choco (友チョコ), or kanshya-choco (感謝チョコ)? Anyone know of any variations on the obligation chocolate side of things that I missed? (The real romantic kind of chocolate has only one variety that I’m aware of, so it bores me. The stratification on the obligation side is far more fascinating.) Anyhoo - hope your day isn’t too incredibly awkward. Later!
