Chocolate Heaven Since...Umm, 2007
I received chocolates today! Wasn't sure if I would, but I'm thrilled.
First off was from one of my Kinders, Moe, who is six. She informed me that it was 本命 (given to a loved one) and made me eat some in front of her. She gave me a big hug and seemed happy that I was beaming.
Next was from another Kinder, Mana. This time it was "only obligation chocolate" but she'd put quite a bit of effort into it, drawing a picture of a rather ruggedly handsome man, whom I'm assuming is a portrait of me.
From the next group up, at the age of 7, Kanna gave me the most amazing present of the three. Really shy, she handed me a package at the end and ran straight off before I could say thank you.
It was only tonight that I opened it and realised I'd received the much sought after Holy Grail of Valentine's chocolates - 手作り - hand-made chocolate. Beautifully presented, it seems a shame to eat them! I can't wait to see her and give her a huge hug.
It took me a second to realise the 'no' formed 'no-va'!
At Keiko's house tonight, I received even more home-made chocolate - white chocolate with strawberries, truffles, and brownies! - which I really didn't expect.
I only hope it wasn't 'obligation chocolate'!

How sweet.
The chocolate looks scrumpsish.
Now you have to give something in return. At least you have a month to think of it. Maybe something from England / Bournemouth.... a stick of rock.... woody!
woody? have u any double deckers left? u could give them as an insight into the world of the UK
Glad you brought up the matter of 'woody'. I was going to ignore it. What does it mean?
How about packets of love hearts, with you explaining all the meanings.
Woody remember camp america????!
Woody? I'm absolutely lost. Camp America you say, hmm...
senile dementia in one so young. The wooden thing you brought back.... they called you woody
Well, that was when I went to Israel.
Regardless, where does it fit into Valentine's Day?
