Do you celebrate your birthday? Which birthday was the first one that you remember till now? Where are you celebrating them: at home, in the restaurant??

  1. No i hate my bday :((
  2. 小さい頃はいつもケーキをみんなで切って食べてました。今と違って生クリームでは無かったです。でも上回りとかのクリームが好きでした。薔薇の花に仁丹がバラバラと飾ってて豪華な感じでした。プレゼントは多くはお人形さんでした。
  3. Usually Koreans celebrate birthday with friends in a bar. They drink a lot, and throw a party. :)
  4. Yes I do. The first one which I remember is my 20th birthday. In Japan, 20th birthday is important because 20 is first year of "adult". So, I've got nice watch from my parents. Otherwise it's almost same every year. At birthday's aften, eat foods which I wish (mostly at home), and eat a hole cake with candles and sing a birthday song. All with my family(dad, mam and brother). And few days before or after, my friends celebrate my birthday in a school (with singing and present) and go to a restaurant or karaoke to have a fun^^
  5. usually not. when i was 2nd or 3rd year of elemental school, i invited my almost all class friends at home, and my mother made so much food for my friends, so i remember it until now.

  17. I celebrate my birthday every year in my house, so it should be one year old when I first celebrated it. But I don't remember any of the celebration by my family with the correct age. I remember my birthday when I was in middle school. My friends gave me some presents in school.

  25. I usually celebrate my birthday, but it's a rather small celebration. I usually celebrate at home with family and a few close friends.

  33. When I was in kindergarden and first few years in primary school my mom would use to do these childish birthday parties with games and food and cake at home. These birthdays I remember to this day, it was not something super special or big, not 20 people like in the movies but I guess that is what made it special, just a few close friends, cosy and warm. When I got older I stopped celebrating my birthday at all. All I do is treat my best friend with a nice meal or coctails, join my family at the dinner table and share the cake and wine.
