Let's make a comparison between Ecuador, South Korea and Wales to have a better idea about how Valentine's Day is celebrated in the world.

ECUADOR 

The truth is that in Ecuador people are not very precise, we can not use the word cheesy in this country, because they do not really do special things on this day, things that every person remembers for their whole life, because They are very simple.

Before knowing what is done, we must take into account the type of reaction they are going to take on this day.

  Get out of the spouses routine:
Those who got tired of giving flowers and chocolates can surprise and "cheer up" your partner by giving away super sexy EROTIC LINGERIE.

 For good friends:
If what you want is that your gift does not go unnoticed, but you do not want to spend a fortune on attracting attention, we have the right gift for you! You can give some cute and original super funny shirts among which you surely find the most suitable for the occasion !!!.

 The lovers:
A really romantic and original idea is to give a star. You can not lower a star from the sky, but if you can put your name ... so when you look at the sky and see that star you will know it is yours! Baptize a star. The perfect gift for any occasion. Presented in a beautiful case with a certificate of ownership, the star map so you can find your star and a beautiful silver pendant with the data of your star.

The following examples are ideas made in Ecuador by couples on this day:

A timeless detail, that always likes and never goes out of fashion is to GIVE FLOWERS; for its beauty and for everything that they symbolize.

The technological innovations are always a success when it comes to making a practical and useful gift, especially among the youngest and those who are not so much ... What most takes now are mp3 players, GPS for car , portable DVDs, 3G mobiles."More and more people are waiting for the arrival of Valentine to surprise their partner with a romantic weekend trip, there are multiple places that ensure a trip full of romanticism and sensitivity, but it is necessary to have all the information of the specific destination.Excellent destination where celebrating the love that is processed towards the couple is our beaches, also go to a snowy is an excellent idea that goes against the traditional. In addition, for those who seek relaxation there is nothing better than visiting hot springs,But if it is about celebrating. If our choice is Ecuador, we have many wonderful options: the beaches of the Ecuadorian coast, its valleys, its mountains, the whole mountain range of the country and why not the island region full of wonderful landscapes and a lot of romanticism.In Fin, all the destinations in the world are right when it comes to celebrating love.Of course, you only squeeze them, they give each other gifts or go on a trip somewhere.

However people here is very novel, so much that it is the date for many to declare to the boy or girl that they like waiting for a yes but they take it in a joke way for what they do:

But it also usually ends well:

 

SOUTH KOREA

Korea...
In Korea all this changes so much, here things do if they are made "true".
People do everything in a way so well planned and serious without the need to joke and do much more special things than in other places.

A simple and simple dinner can be improved like this:


 
A trip can be twice as exciting and romantic in places like this:
Parqué Yeouido

Namsan Tower / Seoul Tower

 

Grand Hyatt Ice Rynk

Rio Han

A clear example of the romantics and retailers that can become the Koreans:

WELSH

 Dydd Santes Dwynwen, literally "the Day of San Dwynwen" is considered like the equivalent in Wales for the Day of Valentines and it is celebrated the 25 of January of every year. It is celebrated in honor of Dwynwen, the Welsh Saint of love so that date is the day of the San Dwynwen festival.Throughout Wales, children and adults write their letters to each other in a celebration of their love, or sometimes without a name in order to attract the other person in love.Much of the history of Wales is based on stories and songs, since it was considered a virtue not to write these stories and verses, but everything was oral. As such, the original story has been mixed with elements of Celtic stories and popular tales.Dwynwen lived during the 5th century AD and was one of the 24 daughters of Saint Brychan, a Welsh prince of Brycheiniog. She fell in love with a young man named Maelon, but rejected her loves. This, depending on the story because she wanted to remain chaste and become a nun or because her father wanted her to marry another.Dwynwen became known as the saint of lovers and pilgrimages were made to the island of Dwynwen where she has a church for pilgrimages.
 

Music and Food in the three

We could combine these two aspects into one and equally to the three countries because if we talk about food the only difference is the place you go to eat, that is, you may pay a lot for very well presented food or you can make it yourself but it leads you to the same.

As for music, the only thing that varies is the language, in a good way. Because everywhere the songs or romantic music are ballads or soft rhythm so they do not differ much from each other.

CONCLUSION:

By comparing these three countries we can give an idea of how Valentine's Day is celebrated around the world, of course we can also realize that there is a clear difference in what each of these does but all with the same objective: "Love". This is what tells you to make this special day and with all the love you can for that person who is special in your life.
