This year, I became 20 years old Laughing This is coming of age in Japan.

We can drink alcohol and smoke tobaccos. (They are able to drive a car from 18 years old.)
In Japan, if we became 20 years old, some girls wear KIMONO (This is Japanese traditional clothes) and take pictures. Maybe, almost all boys don't take a picture.

And, second Monday in January of year we become 20 years old, ceremony will take place in own town.
We wear, girls are KIMONO and boys are HAKAMA or suit. (HAKAMA is Japanese traditional clothes, too)
We meet friend from junior high school and more. This is like an alumni association Wink

How old is coming of age in your country? And, when you come of age, how do celebrate it?

I am interested in it. Please tell me Very Happy
