ST VALENTINE’SDAY It is that time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But Valentine’s Day is not only about public displays of affection: in recent yearsit has also become big business. In the UK alone, more than £20 million is spent on flowers, while in the United States over $1 billion is forced to spend on chocolates. It is said that the firstrecorded Valentine’s card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he tried to find comfort from his imprisonment by writing love poems to his wife. Valentine’s Day is nowcelebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for women to send chocolates to men, while in KoreaApril 14th is when the unfortunate men who received nothing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and show sympathy for each other. Valentine’s cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes.Police in the UK city of Liverpool send Valentine’s cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines.
