QuoteGiven that practices similar to courtly love were already prevalent in Al-Andalus and elsewhere in the Islamic world, it is very likely that Islamic practices influenced the Christian Europeans - especially in southern Europe where classical forms of courtly love first emerged.
QuoteValentine's Day is popular across the world, but in South Korea, it has a little twist. Unlike most countries where guys have to worry about flowers, candies, and cards, Valentine's in Korea is all about the men. This is a day where women show the love by giving chocolates and gifts to their husbands/boyfriends. Of course, everything changes on March 14. Known as White Day, this is the holiday where men buy gifts for the girls, but there's a catch: A guy is supposed to spend three times the amount of the gift he received on Valentine's. And, as you might have guessed, the gifts are often in the color white.
However, these aren't the only lovey-dovey days in South Korea. In fact, the 14th day of every month is a romantically themed holiday, or at least a day for reminding singles how unlucky they are. Some of these, like Kiss Day (June) and Hug Day (December) are pretty self-explanatory. January 14 is Diary Day, when couples and friends give each other blank diaries. The sappiness of Photo Day (September), when couples take photos of each other, is rivaled only by Yellow Day/Rose Day (May), when lovers dress in yellow and give each other, yep, roses. The saddest day of all is April 14, depressingly known as Black Day. This is when singles mourn their lack of love by eating "jajyangmyeon," which are sticky, black noodles, all the while hoping to meet someone special before the next romantic holiday rolls around.
QuoteSouth Korean men are obsessed with cosmetics. It turns out that South Korean men are spending close to $900 million a year on makeup. BB cream foundation is the product of choice, but facial cleansers, anti-ageing moisturizes, and eye creams are also extremely popular. There are even TV shows dedicated to the subject of the manly makeover. Up to 20 percent of the male population, known as the grooming tribe, use makeup regularly, but it's not so much about fashion as it is business. The South Korean job market is extremely competitive, and wearing makeup is all part of the game. These guys want to make good impressions in their job interviews by hiding their blemishes and looking like celebrities. It looks like in Korea, makeup really does make the man.
Quote from: Rev.Cambeul on Thu 07 Mar 2024As for the Abo soccer hooligan, Sam Kerr, throwing up over a taxi and racially vilifying a White copper, I hope she gets two years prison and is deported. Maybe a Black Australian Aboriginal Free Speech Martyr is what is needed to bring back freedom for White Indigenous British people. That, and she's an anti-White stupid Black footballer who's always running her mouth off bitching about Black oppression blaming Whitey at every opportunity. Even though I deplore anyone being arrested or imprisoned for speech offences, prison for her would give me a good laugh.
