Celebrated on the third Monday every May, Coming Of Age Day officially sees a young persons transition from childhood to adulthood - in Korea, this being aged 20 instead of 18 as in England.

interesting. you know, my friends are crazy about korea!
Almost like a national debutante day. I think we should have something like that over here.
Can I have a coming of age day when it happens?
never knew about this tradition..thanks for the info..
have a nice week
THEME - you can have just such a day when (and only when) it happens.
Beautiful photos! The colors are so vibrant.
Interesting, Is it too late to celebrate? muhaha.
I gave you two awards today on my blog.
XD
There's always one of those days-but it only shows how many years old you are, not how OLD you are.
JB: Nice to meet you and many thanks for those awards.
We could use something like that in the U.S. Some people try to come of age at 13, and others 35.
hmmm - never heard of that. Beautiful picture. What do you do in England to celebrate? I guess the closet we have in the US is a sweet 16 party.
