Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day<\/strong> (Hari Valentine) approaches. As is the case in many countries all around the world, February 14th is a day for couples to show their love and singles to be miserable. In Indonesia, it’s common for guys to take their girlfriend<\/strong> (pacar) out on a date<\/strong> (kencan). Common gifts include: chocolate<\/strong> (cokelat), candy<\/strong> (permen), roses<\/strong> (mawar), or a teddy bear<\/strong> (boneka beruang). It’s a day to hold your sweetheart<\/strong> (sayang) close, give them a big hug<\/strong> (pelukan) and a kiss<\/strong> (cium), and say those magic words – “I love you<\/strong>” (Aku cinta kamu).<\/p>\n
