Good Lifestyle

In the United States, people show their love by sending flowers, chocolate boxes and these candy hearts with words on them. But in other countries, it's a bit more complicated - there are strange customs, superstitions and they are fascinating. The type of chocolate dictates your relationship with a person in a country, and yet another, it marks the beginning of an agricultural season. Read on really surprising but romantic traditions around the world.

1. Denmark
In Denmark, instead of red roses, friends and lovers of pressed white flowers called drops of snow. Men also give women a "Gaekkebrev" which is a "pleasure letter" which consists of a funny rhyme or poem written on cut paper and signs with anonymous points. If the receiver can guess the sender correctly, it gets an Easter egg later that year.

2. Slovenia
In Slovenia, February 14th is the first day of work of the fields. Valentine's Day is one of their saints of spring patron. It is therefore a good day to start working in vineyards and fields because it is usually at that time in the season that plants and flowers begin to be restarted. People also believe that birds in the fields offered to their lovers and also marry the day (aka, it's really the season of couplings.)


3. Italy
Valentine's Day is a tradition for single girls to wake up before dawn and spot her future husband. So-called, the first man a woman lives was the man she would have been married for a year or a person who would look strongly. Talk about superstition! Now, couples gather in the city of Verona for Romeo and Juliet Tours, where people can write letters of love to Juliette, or trace the traces of condemned lovers.


4. Brazil
They ignore February 14 and celebrate Dia Dos Namorados, or "Lovers Day" on June 12th. Nevertheless prettier, anyway! With the exchange of gifts, music festivals and performances are organized throughout the country. Love is not just about couples here either: they celebrate this day with friends and parents too. Inclusive Valentine's Day - Like it!

5. England
In England, women used to place 5 bay leaves on their pillows, 1 at every corner and the rest in the center, to make dreams of their future husbands. Or they dampen the bay part with rosewater and place them through their pillows. They even have a Santa Claus for Valentine's Day! In Norfolk, children wait to hear Jack Valentine knocking on their door, who disappear after dropping gifts.


6. Japan
The chocolate custom in Japan is much better than there. They have a concept of gifting different types of chocolates to express the nature of your relationship relationship without using words - that needs a card when you have chocolate? For example, a woman gifts has "Giri-choko" with men without romantic interest (family friends and work), and the "Honmei-Choko", which means "Favorite" and is talented to love interest. If the chocolates are homemade, the guy knows he is very lucky. February 14 is to sit and enjoy treats. On March 14 or "White Day", men can accuse the feelings with lingerie, jewelry, clothes and chocolates that are more fantastic than the woman's chocolate gift. They change gender roles and we love it.


7. China
Valentine's Day in China is Qixi, or the seventh night's festival, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year. During Qixi, young women prepare melon offers and other fruits in Zhinu hoping to find a good husband. Couples are also heading towards temples to pray for happiness and prosperity. At night, people are turning to the heavens to look like Stars Vega and Altair (Zhinu and Niiang, respectively) are getting closer during the annual annual meeting of the starry pair. Singles visit the Temple of the Matchmaker to ask for lucky luck, while couples come to pray for happiness and marriage. Unmarried girls pray the star of the woven household woman, that day, and it is the tradition for them to sculpt melons that day too.

8. Philippines
The mass marriage celebrations are the popular in the Philippines for Valentine's Day!
It brings together hundreds of couples in large open spaces across the country to get married in a massive celebration of marriage. In 2013, more than 4000 couples are married at the same time throughout the country - the sharing aspect is charming and talking about a community and inclusive culture - but I think I want my own marriage as opposed to a date of the mega .


9. South Africa
South Africa has an unusual custom of their women who wore their hearts on their sleeves on February 14 - literally! They pin the names of their interest in love for their downs, which is actually an old Roman tradition known as Lupercalia. Thus, many South African men discover their secret admirers, quite judicious.
