International Women's Day

On the 8th March ,every year is International Women's day and yesterday was the day. I thought I should give a flower or small gift as a present for my girlfriend, my mother and so on. I decided I give a present to my girlfriend's mother. (Who knows? She might be my mother-in-row. I need to win her favor.) I thought a bunch of flowers is better for her and a box of chocolate for my mother.

I visited a small flower shop on my way home. The hostess asked me.
The hostess : "Hi there, what is your purpose of your buying?"
I : "Oh, today is Women's day! I need a bunch of flowers."
The hostess : "Really? umm... "

I felt it was sure that she didn't know. Nobody bought flower yesterday?
Anyway, I went to meet my girlfriend to give a bunch of flowers to her mother.

My girlfriend: "Honey, what is it? Is today a special day?"

Gosh! Most of S.Korean do not celebrate "International" Women's day. Why do I think that People in Korean celebrate Women's day, of course? - I also , in fact, didn't celebrate before...
