Happy Coming of Age Day!

Continuing our celebration of Japanese holidays, I had today off due to Coming of Age Day (or seijin no hi day).  The internet is telling me it is a day to celebrate kids turning 20 this year - the legal age to vote, drink and smoke in Japan.  We celebrated by putting a shelf together for my closet and going the grocery store.

seriously?!! Japan is the coolest country ever...it adopts the laziness of the French and yet gets cited as a hard working country. They must have some awesome PR folks.
Enjoy your 50th day off since you have been there.

Yeah, I'm so jealous. Every time I turn around I'm reading that you are celebrating ANOTHER holiday. What the heck...come on America! Get with the program. Hope you enjoyed your holiday!
