"St. Valentin"

Valentine's Day was quiet in Belgium. Couples celebrate it perhaps slightly less than in the US, but, unlike in the US, it's strictly couples. I rather enjoyed getting (and receiving) little cards or candy hearts. Speaking of which, I had all my Belgian friends taste the little Valentine's Day candy hearts, which my parents had set me. As they aren't necessarily known for being delicious there were a couple of people who found them not exactly to their liking, but plenty who found them fascinating - the text style writing was an interesting challenge for them. And handing out an american candy always draws at least somewhat a crowd.
