In many countries, people give unusual gifts at certain times. Most of them have special meanings. In Russia, numbers are important in giving flowers. For example, if a gentleman gives a woman 5 flowers, he is saying, “I love you”! In England, a birthday cake for a 21-year-old is often shaped like a key. It means that the person is an adult and can come home at any time. In Asia, before Korean students take university entrance tests, their friends give them sticky rice candy for luck. The friends hope that the students will pass the test and go to the university.
