Ladies, while you are receiving fanciful roses and chocolates from your beloved one or secret admirer, we are going to tell you something different happening today at another part of the world.

In Tokyo, girls are busily shopping for special present - to be given to the special person she admires.  Valentine's Day is the "official" day in Tokyo which the lesser sex does not need to feel shy to express to the special guy.  Ritually, she will receive a response, whether favorable or otherwise, from the other party on 14th of March.  If the guy returns his gesture with a box of gourmet chocolates, she has captured his heart.  If she receives a handkerchief in an elegant box, that's for her to wipe on.  

For a quiet and carefree Valentine's night, lovers stroll down their way across Roppongi and Asakusa and end at the Tokyo Tower, in the chill cool breeze of early spring - afterall not that cold with your loved one beside you.  Tokyo Tower at night is adorned with glittering orange lights like a fairy-tale palace awaiting all lovers.  Make a wish to the "little stars" that seems to form the image of the grand tower.  Who knows?  They may come true.

If you need somewhere least touched by modernity with great romantic mood with your loved one, come to the capital of Bohemia.  Lovers make their vows, hand in hand, across the six centuries old Charles Bridge.  If you are lucky, someone may be playing Smetana's Famous masterpiece, The Vltata, that spins your imagination of the water flowing below it.  Both sides of the bridge are adorned with baroque statues of historical figures like St Frances of Assisi, St Augustine and St Nicholas.  Sorry, St Valentine is not there.  It doesn't matter anyway, afterall you need only a Father to give you the bliss but now you have dozens of great priests in history to bliss you across the 1700 ft ancient bridge.  Isn't it worth more than your trip to Prague?

A Valentine's night that will last forever in your memory starts with a sumptuous candle light dinner in the elegant La Tours d'Argent.  Remember to ask for the window seats to have a perfect view of Notre Dame where Hugo Victor imagined a tale of pure selfless love.  

Be prepared to know a bit about Paris before beginning the journey with your loved one across the central isle, Cite.  Do you know how Paris made its way to become the international capital of perfumes?  Unfortunately, it did not start off from a beautiful story.  Far from it, Paris was a very unhygienic city at the time of cultural revolution.  The upper society was proud and arrogant with great social power while the rest of the dwellers led their live as outcasts.  The lower class were too poor to afford coffins and so corpses were disposed at any possible corner in the city.  No one bothered.  Instead of social spending to dispose the remains, huge amount of money were spent to perfect perfumes to cover the intolerable odors surrounding its atmosphere.  Anyway, these were histories.

After dinner, bring your partner across Petit Pont towards Square Viviani.  Petit Pont is the shortest bridge in Paris and is sixteen centuries old.  It had been burned down and rebuilt many times since Lutetia time - qualified itself as the witness to the history of Paris.  Nearby the Square is Shakespeare & Co. - one of the literary center in Paris.  It was established by Sylvia Beach in the twenties.  Great literature masters and thinkers had left their footprints in this little bookshop.  Though epic is over, it still preserves its tradition of poetry reading in candle light frequently.  You may caught one session and savors the romantic atmosphere of the time of James Joyce and Paul Satre.
