| Description | TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese women are fed up with a longstanding Valentine's Day custom requiring them to give chocolates to men without getting any in return.
According to an Internet survey, 70 percent of working women said they would be happy if there was no tradition of giving "obligatory chocolates" to their boyfriends or colleagues.
Nearly 60 percent said they felt unhappy as Valentine's Day approached, citing the cost and time it takes to shop for the gifts, which are finely calculated to express just the right emotions toward a boss, a colleague or a true boyfriend. |
