Comparison of Valentine's celebration between Ecuador, South Korea and Wales

• Food.

Valentine's Day in Ecuador.

On Valentine's Day it's time to celebrate romanticism and what better way to do it than with food. Well says the saying "love enters through the stomach."

In Ecuador It is very common to see couples who enjoy dinners on Valentine's Day, however, there is no specific food for this date you eat any type of food that is of any cost.

Mature couples prefer to taste more refined and expensive dinners, as young couples decide to eat food with prices that fit more in their pocket

It is common for some to receive or deliver chocolates at this celebration.

In South Korea unlike us on February 14 or Valentine's Day, it is a celebration for singles, where are the lovers who give chocolate to their lovers.

Women are the protagonists. Korean girls are accustomed to giving their boyfriends, or simply the boy they like.

  The most traditional gifts are chocolates and little cards, especially the chocolates made by themselves.

Wales celebrates one of the oldest traditions in Europe to celebrate its Valentine's Day every January 25, the feast of St. Dwynwen.
In this country there is no saucer or sweet that is traditional on Valentine's Day (festival of Santa Dwynwen), however; In my opinion, the lovers just like any other part in the world, all they want is to have a good evening, either by eating foreign dishes or typical food from that country or even a homemade meal.

You can see pictures of animals, plants or any other natural reason.
The male hanbok is composed of a short jacket and baggy pants (Baji), and the Kkotsin is used, which is a silk shoe with flower embroidery.
Beoseon would be the socks that are currently used, in terms of the form there is no difference between that of men and women, but if there is distinction in the designs, the beoseon of man is characterized by straight stitching.

• Music.

In the concerts or events that take place, it is common for Ecuador to listen to national music, listening to all kinds of music since there is no gender that is traditional from this date.

In my opinion, because of what I have lived and seen around me, people like to dedicate songs and I think that there are corridors and songs about love.

According to what I investigate there is no typical song for this day, however I think girls should dedicate something to their boyfriends; I think it can be any song of any genre or any country. K-pop is very popular in this region. These are the best k-pop songs to dedicate.
