I Am Korean

Foreigners: I don't understand Korean age system.

Me: Example, my son was born November 30th. 30 days later he turned 1 month old. 31 days later he turned 2 years old.

Understand?

Nope, not understand.

Though I remember reading that supposively certain parts of China traditionally believe that you're born 2 years old, and where inside your mother for two years.

Which is supposedly how China got it's two great young gymnastic girls on the team for the Chinese Olympics, despite very widespread believe they were underaged and didn't met the minimum age requirement... changing their offical birth certificates to make them two years older claiming the originals had errors.
