in Japan celebrate a bunch of weird holidays, some names that stand out for oddities: "Day of the Sea", "Day of Respect elders," "Day of Sports and Health", "Greenery Day", the list is long. Make no mistake, all the above listed are the official national holidays, and not where some local less ceremony. Besides them, and both celebrate the equinox, the date of the constitution, the Emperor's birthday and some comprehensible given forests from history. 
Today was "Seijin shiki" in English "Coming-of-Age Day ," I will take for free to translate this as "day "..... adulthood
What happens is that on that day, the second Monday in January, local authorities organize a ceremony to which all are invited to this year turned 20, which in this society considers joining adulthood. For all those čanostima the kids pay a bureaucrat who explains that from now on no more loose, no zajebancije, sleep up to 11 in the morning, go out at night dokasno, skulk, drink hot 'ladne water and so on. The usual speeches and be a commemorative program, leave some for example. 
" Cultural Progress" from kojekakvog rural area and perform a combination of folk dances and rounds from a zabitog corner of the state that is more like something borrowed from "The Lord of the prt ENOVA", but who cares, it is important that people get together and seemingly fun. kids is most important that they since then can freely buy alcohol and cigarettes, that they can vote them that good and does not affect. find myself on Shibuji where I first saw closed one of the main street, usually the car in the car. 
the street acting Kines will acrobats, jugglers, some wanabe Miroslav Cerar, a man-bird, crazy house. The best response Japa Albanians to this' tičurinu, really looks horrible, and these people are being pushed to be nearer to him, used to horror movies and a bunch of comics and cartoon characters who more fearful than anything else. Even small children pushed and lifted to see him, so he does not think that his dream of a child day this creature and pee in bed? He walks on all fours, ie. in all limbs has Stilts, at one point was p odigao hands and then showed what a freak .... 
One group of kids was happily posed in front of the symbols teenager Shibuya109. Including a Hindu boy, a white, a bunch of sweet Japanese woman in kimonos and Japanese kids, some in western clothes, some in men's kimonos with dark hakama apron over (do not know how better to call than an apron, what the black masters of Kendo and Aikido carry the belt). And of course, Veeeelika bottle of sake that will, almost certainly, all that ponapijaju. Classic .... 
Give them half an hour, and those that are drunk may be deleted from its records ... also classic .... Life in Tokyo, Japan!
