Do they celebrate Valentine's Day outside the U.S.?

[Kristjan Arnason]

Hi,

I'm in Korea right now.  Valentine's Day is huge in
Korea and Japan.  And there's more!  A Korean based
company called Lotte, which is the main candy maker
for the two countries (I've lived in both) has also
managed to create another unofficial holiday as well. 
Feb. 14 is Valentine's Day, and women give chocolate
to men (and students of both sexes give chocolate to
their beloved teacher, it seems.  I got a lot of candy
yesterday).  On March 14th in both countries the men
reciprocate on "White Day," and give chocolate to
women.  How they managed to pull this off is a mystery
to me.

Strange.

And I'm Canadian and we certainly observe it there.
