Valentine's Day is hardly an American exclusive. Hopeless romantics the world over look for love in the all the wrong places. Some are weirder than others.

Take Japan, for example. In America, it's the guys courting the gals. In Japan, women are encouraged to pamper the guys, hoping they return the gesture sometime later in the year. I like!

In Scandinavia, men send anonymous poems to women, only signing with 1 dot for each letter in his name. If the woman guesses correctly, he rewards her with an egg on Easter. If she doesn't, she owes him an egg.
