Let's zip around the world and see what's going on this weekend, shall we?

"May the shorts be with you!" says the intro to Australia's Flicker Fest, celebrating short films this weekend.

In Thailand, it's the weekend for the Underwater Wedding event. Bring snorkels.

In Japan, the Sapporo Snow Festival is underway! Even if you can't attend, the event website provides instructions on snow sculpture.

For high culture types, the Johann Strauss Ball is going on in Vienna. If you're more into sporty events, the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance is putting on "Smashing Valentine" in Amsterdam.
 
And speaking of Valentines, the United States is...promoting White Castle as a place to go on Valentine's Day.  We are classy folk, we are!
