Here in Korea, when you tell how old you are, you count the time in your mother's belly. So, when a baby is born, she is already one. Rather than keeping track of people's individual birthdays, everybody adds a year on New Year's Day. So, Airi was one on November 2nd and just turned two today. Time sure is passing quickly.
By the same reckoning, my Korean age is 40, even though my western age is barely 38.
