Went into town and had a few drinks :D
I had a bday party about 2 weeks before that though because lots of my friends were going away to uni just before my actual birthday. I got hammered, too. Being 'legal' doesn't mean much with this countries youth drinking culture.
As far as sex is concerned, I was 'legal' at 16 :D

In Hong Kong, you can do the following at 18:
1. learn to drive
2. buy cigarettes
3. enter a betting station
4. vote (although the next elections are in 2008)
5. sign your own documents
6. buy alcohol / enter a bar
7. marry without parental consent
8. GO TO THE GYM DOWNSTAIRS
At the same time, however:
1. you have to pay the full fare for public transport
2. you lose legal parental protection
3. you're treated as an adult in court
I have yet to enjoy my adulthood benefits!!

You're fooling yourself. America's 21 is Hong Kong's 18.

How did you spend your 18th birthday?
It was 1991. I registered for Selective Service (read: The Draft, even though it technically doesn't exist in the US), at lunch, and went back to school... I was a senior in high school, then. In the evening, we all gathered over my friend's house and played 3-man (drinking game with dice) with a bottle of Bacardi and about 8 people. Good time.
How did you spend your 18th birthday?
Don't remember whether I had a party then or some weeks later...
At least I drank too much sparkling wine then.
I know. I'm scared. :(
In fact you're considered responsible for your actions at the age of 10 years in Britain, damn, I wish it was ten days.

I wish I never have to be responsible for my actions. What a birthday wish! :D
6. buy alcohol / enter a bar
Lol, my brother went drinking in bars in Amsterdam when he was sixteen, he only got stopped at one place, and that was because they thought he wore the wrong shoes for some reason...

Hey, come on, what Irish person doesn't celebrate ANYTHING that way! 18th, 19th, 20th,...you get the picture.
Have to admit though, what little I do remember from that night, it was a good one, but college b-day's are always better!

When I turned 18, I got the right to vote, the right to buy smokes, and become legally dubbed an adult. No drinking till I"m 21:p

You're allowed to get ur driver's license at 18?
LOL
I'm 17 and I can drive by myself. :D
I got my learner's driver's license when I was 16. I currently got my novice's driver license. Two years later, if I pass the road test, I'll get my class 5 (full license). :D

Here you can get your full unrestricted license at 16 and a half if you do everything in the quickest possible way. That isn't necessarily a good thing though.

How did you spend your 18th birthday?
Went to a bar (where we'd been going to for a couple of years already ;) ) with my friends. I was the last one going in and the bouncer who knew us, decided to ask for my ID, which I duly presented. He had a look at the card, which was a bit damaged from being washed with my jeans, and said: "This is fake, you can't come in". :headbang:
My friends were all in already and I, being the only one of legal drinking age, went home to watch TV. A birthday party I'll never forget... :(
