Jay: I've been noticing all sorts of Valentine's Day
advertisements on the street lately.
Catherine:   Yeah, Western Valentine's Day is almost here.

You know, Taiwanese businesses really know
how to make money. Valentine's Day is a great
opportunity for them.
Jay :   Oh yeah, you guys have two valentine's days a

Catherine:   Yup. Businesses can earn twice as much
money... just kidding. I'm impressed, you already

Jay:   I guess but anyway, I don't really know the
source of your other Valentine's Day.

woman is not allowed to be with an ordinary man.

sky, separating her from Cowherd and their two
children.

and let them see each other one time on the seventh
day of the seventh month of the year. On that day,

Jay:   So, is Taoism the most popular religion here?
Catherine:   So, what do you plan to do for Valentine's Day?
Catherine:   Well, that depends on how you look at it.
Jay:   Ehh, I don't know. I'll probably stay at home and
