It&rsquo;s the day when 20 year olds put on the kimonos, suits, or generally smart stuff and go out, and get a lot of pictures taken. As is often mentioned - Japan&rsquo;s legal age for drinking alcohol, voting and smoking are all 20.</p> <p>Since I&rsquo;m a little over 20, I celebrated on their behalf by having a beer, not smoking and complaining that the party I vote for never wins elections. Aside from that, I cooked, cleaned, played City of Heroes and walked around Kachidoki bayside.</p>
