In Korea, every third Monday of May, coming-of-age ceremony is held for celebrating twenty years old people. Next year, people born in 1992 will be celebrated on this day. They are congratulated by their family and friends for becoming adults. Also, they get some gifts from their parents or lovers. Usually, a present consists of flowers, a perfume, and a kiss. However, after that ceremony, Koreans still depend on their parents for money. I think the ceremony in korea is held for fun just like a Valentine's Day.

Become What You Believe
Adults are not superpeople. They can make some mistakes like children. Nevertheless, they are separated from children because they are responsible of what they do. Even a fifteen years old girl could be a adult, if she takes a responsibility and people around her watch her with trust. I think Quinceanera perform a role that gives official approval she choose her life by herself.

답글삭제Oh I can't believe that I'm not teenager anymore, and I'm surprised that the gift of coming-of-age ceremony is a kiss.
답글삭제But..... I was born in 1993 then what can I do?!!!
답글삭제'responsible of what they do' I think this is most important thing.
I agree 100% that adults are not superpeople. They definitely can make mistakes, too. It's important to think about things on our own and not just blindly accept what adults say. (That is very western thinking, but I believe that. Do you?)
