Valentine Day And Pillow Fight

Today is Valentine Day. There is a difference for the celebration of the day between Japan and US. In Japan, in general, women give chocolates to the men but here, America is not. It’s typical that both women and men give chocolates to the other and many people give presents to the other.

I ate out at Japanese restaurant with my friend today, and I heard an interesting story. There is a yearly event called Pillow Fight in SF. People taking part in it fight literally with a pillow. They bring their own pillow to the place held the event, and smash each other with it. This reminds Japanese of Makuranage that Japanese students throw their pillow to their friends when they stay out of the home for a special school event like school trip and go to bed. I saw some people holding pillows when I was on my way to my home. They seem to get exciting... I’ve uploaded some video shows pillow fight from Youtube.
