A Year Older...

I went into class on my birthday and was greeted by the whiteboard above. The kids here can be so sweet! In fact, I celebrated my birthday in true chinese style. Lots of wine (56% alcohol!), beer and 干杯. The funny thing about the birthday dinner was that my boss actually booked 2 tables in a restaurant and invited all his staff to celebrate my birthday for me. I've never even met some of them before! I felt like I was at some mini wedding banquet! I was the bride without a groom! Plus I had a two-layer cake! The first ever in my entire life!
