Shortly after checking into the hotel this morning after my overnight flight, I grabbed a light breakfast before taking a nap. As I am sitting at my table nibbling on a piece of toast and coffee, I see 4 or 5 waiters/waitresses walking from the other side and they're singing "Happy Birthday" and I looked around the restaurant, wondering "oh, who's birthday is it?" as they got closer and closer and then stopped at my table and placed a birthday cake in front of me. Duh, a little slow on the uptake this morning, hahaha. Cheeks blazing red as the others in the restaurant clapped. What a nice treat from the hotel! Apparently, they snagged my birthdate off my passport when I checked in. And, screw the fruit I had put on my plate, I had cake for breakfast!
