"My twenty-first birthday is on Saturday, and I'm going to go out with some friends. To wish me a happy birthday, they're going to pull on my ear 21 times - once for each year. It's an old custom. Some people pull on the ear just once, but my friends are very traditional!"

"Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday. It's a special birthday, so we're going to have a family ceremony. I'm probably going to get some money in lucky' envelopes from my relatives. My mother is going to cook
noodles - noodles are for a long life."

"My husband is going to be 60 tomorrow. In Japan, the sixtieth birthday is called kanreki- it's the beginning of a new life. The color red represents a new life, so children often give something red as a present. What are our children going to give him? A red hat and vest!"

"I'm going to be 30 next
week, so I'm going to invite
three very good friends out to dinner. In France, when you have a birthday, you often invite people out. In some countries, I know it's the opposite - people take you out."
