Día de los Enamorados

Valentine's Day is called "Día de los Enamorados" in Chile- that means "day of the lovers"... a few years ago we didn't celebrate it and it is an American day that we adapted in our own way through the Media. The Chilean way to celebrate this is only for couples, you go out with your couple and enjoy a different day together.
There are a lot of people that are against this day because it has became another commercial day when all the industries take advantage of you and try to sell something. This has also happened because nobody knows the origin of this day, the real history of Saint Valentine.
So being in the US for the Valentine's Day is a completely new experience for me!
Have a nice Valentine's Day everyone!!!!
