Quote - As for the school uniform stuff, a friend of mine who was out there for six months or so told me that its not unusual for students to wear uniform throughout high school, right up to entering college at 18 or 19. So in Japan, school uniform does not automatically equate to underage.

 

In England, it is not uncommon (say my contacts there) there seem to be "school days" parties, where 20-somethings dress up in school uniforms (or sometimes sexier versions, at least for the girls) and behave the way they wish they had been able to when they were 16.
