Seijin no Hi - Things that you can do when you turn 20

June 4th was "Seijin no hi (Coming of Age Day)", which honors young people who have turned, or who will turn, 20 during the current year. In Japan at the age of 20 you are able to smoke, drink alcohol, have the right to vote and get married without one's parent's permission. You can also bet on horse racing, which is quite popular in Japan.
