Colombians celebrate this on the third Saturday of September in some regions, but February 14 still brings roses, serenatas, and the aggressive marketing of every restaurant in the Zona Rosa. The real Colombian love language is bringing someone a tinto when they didn't ask for one.
Observed in Liechtenstein with the usual chocolates and flowers, but also with a local tradition: the gifting of Liechtenstein postage stamps. Liechtenstein's stamps are the country's most famous export : more famous than any product, any person, any event. The Liechtensteinische Post produces some of the most beautiful and collectible stamps in the world, and the annual Valentine's stamp is a small work of art. Philately accounts for roughly 10% of the national revenue, and the Post has been issuing stamps since 1912. The Valentine's stamps are miniature engravings of roses, hearts, and Alpine romance, printed in Vaduz and sent to collectors worldwide.
You see bald eagles, grizzly bears, and gray wolves representing the vast wildlife across North American regions. You recognize that dogs and cats are the most popular pets, followed by fish, birds, and reptiles. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You reach for Vegemite, the dark yeast extract spread first produced in 1923 that defines Australian breakfast culture and national identity in a way no other food does. You know that Vegemite on toast is an acquired taste that separates Australians from the rest of the world and represents the country's unique, no-nonsense character.
