Hmm... interesting.... I don't think we have our Chinese Valentine's Day during this time of the year in Taiwan. January 15th (lunar calendar) is a festival day but I think we are supposed to eat those sweet chewy rice ball dessert (YUM) and hang lantern somewhere in the house. xd

Chinese Valentine's Day in Taiwan is on July 7th (lunar calendar as well). *hint hint honey* heart heart heart

hum, I didn't know about this day either... I thought it was July 7 (in the lunar calendar)...

July 7: I thought was the day because it has that story of the couple who only got to meet once a year on that day only... eek

Erm....not really throwing orange at people,...but is like pour the mandarin oranges to river or some other place la...then wait for the people to find it then that called "fate of love"....
