my ex had 3 years in tokyo
he said it went something like this: on valentines day, the girls buy chocolates for boys. not ones they want to date, just ones they know. then on white day, the men have to reciprocate, and have to spend about 10 times what the girls spent. so he said that all the secretaries etc would spend as much as possible to be sure of getting nice gifts in return. you buy something really special for the other half.

then there is black day, which is for people who get nothing on white day.

that was how he explained it anyway, if you can trust the word of a bitter alcoholic.

That sounds about right
so Gonz if a girl buys you an ipad, you're going to have to spend several thousand on her

I'm not to sure what White Day is I'm afraid, but I looked up reciprocal thinking it meant some sort of container.
Although I think I like the meaning I've been given by my computer for reciprocal...

"(of an agreement or obligation) bearing on or binding each of two parties equally : the treaty is a bilateral commitment with reciprocal rights and duties."

... it would have guarntied me some nookie or my thornton's chocolates back when I gave the teacher a quid to give them to a girl I fancied in school. And I was (was?...is) a fat kid so aren't to bothered eaither way.
