A gift returned

Today is White Day in Japan (not sure why it is called this, a friend told me that it had to do with giving marshmallows, but I am pretty sure that he was pulling my kimono sleeves, alas...), the day where men give women gifts. If you recall, or read (is anybody reading this?), on February 14th, Valentines Day, I shelled out a good wad of cash to buy chocolate for my many male co-workers with whom I barely speak. Well today, haivng forgotten that it was the 14th, I was pleasantly surprised with a gift from all of them. Tea and cakes, jam and cookies make Lauren a happy English Teacher.
