Is Valentine's Day celebrated in Vietnam? Hope that isn't a stupid question. In the states, the amount of money and time is unbelievable.
my theory is the feb 14 was invented by DeBeers and Hallmark, then nurtured by modern feminist movement... but for 21th century cavemen, little confetti is festive enough...
I don't know if they celebrate Valentine in VN now, certainly not back then... perhaps we were too poor to care for celebrating love :). Vietnamese women are no exception, just like billions of women around the world, the universal themes like love, beauty, romance are also always on their mind, ... -> the yearning is there and waitng for an improted catalyst like Valentine to catapult it to the moon.
Rogena, Valentines Day is certainly becoming more popular in Vietnam. This year however it was so close to the TET holiday that it came and went without too much fuss.
Is the 21th century anything like the 21st century??
Honestly, what's wrong with keeping one day on the calendar that is generally dedicated to having people express and show their love for each other? I don't believe this should only happen on one particular day, but if men only need a little confetti, then it's probably a good thing to have a day which motivates us to do more.
