Although this posting is about three weeks overdue, Michael and Sophie (my host family) were kind enough to get a birthday cake for me. There were two candles for each decade and one for the year, so I turned 21 for the sixth year in a row! A tradition for the Chinese is for the celebrant to cut through the cake and leave the knife, to which someone else will take over.
