Birthdays are pretty big here in South Africa in the sense that it's important to remember to send wishes on people's birthday. You either phone or SMS a bday wish even to your customers or clients. The irony, with everyone wishing you a happy birthday, you would expect someone to supply a cake. But, the tradition here is that you supply your own cake. So, someone can come up to you and wish you a happy birthday and in the same sentence ask, "Where's the cake?" (People don't really do this, but the concept is quite funny.) Well, I didn't get a chance to make a cake, but went out for a dinner and a movie with some coworkers and enjoyed a Frangelico Dom Pedro.

Happy Birthday to me.
