Today I met with Dojun over Skype. It was definitely an interesting meeting. We talked all about the "age of adults" in our countries and what legal rights they have. I told him that in America, although they say that legally you are an adult at 18, most people will not treat you like one. At 18, you can finally sign your own documents, join the army, and have the right to vote. But, on the other hand, at 18, you still can't rent a car or even drink alcohol. He said that it was definitely different in his country (South Korea). I said that in Europe it is that way as well, and that perhaps that is why alcohol is abused so much in the States. It is the most common cause of death (drunk driving).
