Round 22 - Valentines day!

This week the girls take aim at Valentine's day... 



Valentine's day has been widely celebrated in many parts of the world for a very long time. In this episode, the girls discuss some interesting Valentine's traditions as well as some amusing stories and gifts.

Sarah opens with our topic intro and some background as to who St Valentine was and why we celebrate love on the same day every year.

Sarah then talks about Lupercalia, an ancient Roman festival to ward off evil spirits and infertility, and what it has in common with valentines day. Sarah also tries to give Amy and Bianca some culture but Amy was vaccinated against it as a baby.

She then goes on to steal and talk about the part of Bianca's segment being Korean days for couples and the one day for singles in April.
Sorry, Bianca.

Bianca was excited to be the meat in the sandwich this week. She opened the girl's eyes into the day of love around the world.
