Here in China, Valentine's Day really is not celebrated like it is in the US. In fact, the majority of my children did not even know what Valentine's Day was, with the exception of my Western children. In class, I showed my children how to make hearts by folding paper in half, and then we did Valentine's Day art - but that was the extent of the celebration. It was kind of nice to not have to worry about a party or anything, but it was kind of depressing at the same time.
After work, I celebrated Valentine's Day with the two best pseudoValentines in China - the Courtneys. We went out to PuDong and went to Pistolera's. It is sooooo delicious and probably my favorite restaurant in China thus far, but it is on the complete other side of town and takes an hour by subway and then a 15 minute taxi ride, so we don't get to go there often.
Anyway, H's boyfriend is the owner of Pistolera's and he had to work that night, so we decided to go out there and surprise him and get some dinner. He was definitely surprised and luckily they were not too busy at the time so he got to sit down and eat with us. He treated us to some appetizers and Margarita's, and we ate some really delicious food. Unfortunately my stomach was still not feeling well from being sick all weekend, so I really did not enjoy the food as much as I should of, but it was still a nice evening.
I wish my Valentine could have been here with me...
