What are you doing for white day? I'm at a public school working with a fair number of women. A card and candy for each? A communal gift? I'm in the sticks so I can't just buy a bunch of donuts. Everyone is pretty good to me and I'd like to continue to foster good will and make myself as normal a member of the faculty as a foreigner can be. I'm also lazy when it comes to these things though. What's a reasonable gesture? Alright, what's the least I can get away with and still come out looking good?

i thought white day was the guys day to reciprocate to the girl who gifted him on valentines day. whatever the girl spent, the guy is to spend 3x as much.

so...unless they gave you something for valentines day, would you be disrespecting their culture by giving them something? Smile

I like the way you think. I sure didn't get Valentine's day stuff from everybody.

Shocked Oh my God, am I in trouble then... Embarassed

My gf said she doesn't want anything for White Day (this Friday) but I took that to mean she does...I was thinking a decent dinner and a DVD at home, but it looks like I'll have to splurge on the dinner and take her shopping now, especially since she paid for hwae last weekend...

Just buy a box of chocolates for the female teachers. If you have a girlfriend, you should get her a box for herself and a small gift.

Every fourteenth is a "day" of some kind.

Well a bunch of crap got pruned, but I still bet they haven't banned Tony Balony yet.
