Birthday Fun

Yesterday there was a birthday in the office, so everyone took a quick break for a celebration. We sang "Happy Birthday" in Korean (well, they all sang, I just clapped afterwards). Same song, same words, just in Korean. Then we had cake. Or not exactly cake. In the U.S., we usually have some sort of chocolate or cream-filled confection. The cake here was a sort of an amalgamation of little cakes made out of bean or rice flour. It was a series of layers, all separated by thin cellophane sheets, forming one big cake-like structure. A Voltron-cake, if you will. The bean and rice cakes are very chewy and gummy, but not particularly sweet. Overall, I think I'll stick with Hostess.
