Where to Go this Valentine

Tweet

6 days to go before V-Day!

I presume everybody's excited for that day? 

Am I excited? Well, for some reasons, maybe. Heck, still doesn't sound true!

Where are you planning to go anyway?

Well, if someone would ask me for a date, I will probably suggest any of the following...
