Birthday celebration traditions in East Asian countries (China, South Korea and Japan) and Lithuania

In Japan, there are ages which have special meaning ; these are 20,60,70,77,80,81,88,90,99 and 100 years old. In this case, my birthday may be more important than others.

I think my 18th and 21st birthdays have been more important than others so far, because at 18 you become a legal adult and can vote, buy alcohol and cigarettes, and at 21 you can legally drink hard liquor, so I suppose these two birthdays signify your turning into a legally adult person, which changes your status in your actual life as well.

In my country there are two most important birthdays : 18 and 50 years. 18 because your adulthood starts, 50 because you have lived half of century.

My 18th birthday, because I celebrated it with my best friends

No, others birthdays are more important.

Yes, my 18th birthday, because then I got my driving licence.

nah

I don't think so.. Maybe 18th birthday because of legal age and upcoming responsibilities. Legal age line is when you start to think about things such as paying university tuition (since I am a student of ISM government cannot support full tuition price) and finding a job maybe to support yourself instead of living of my parents. But every other birthday for me seems equal.

I feel like first, tenth and 20th is the hardest for parents. So it good bigger meanings to us too.

I think they all are equally important
