Koreans celebrate Valentine’s Day differently: Men get the day off. Meanwhile, women give chocolates as a symbol of their love. But that doesn’t mean their male counterparts are entirely off the hook. On March 14, on a holiday called White Day, guys respond to their crush, reciprocating with candy or teddy bears as a gesture that they accept the gift they received.
2. Handwritten Love
Denmark and Norway have an old-school take on Valentine’s Day, perfect for anyone looking for a change of pace. Scandinavian men send a “gaekkebrev” an anonymous handwritten poem or rhyming love note. The recipient then must guess from whom the message came by deciphering a series of dots, one for each letter of the sender’s name. If they’re right, they win an egg on Easter. If they’re wrong, they owe the sender an egg.
