I had a wonderful Birthday. I think I must have been wished Happy Birthday more than a thousand times. I had greeting from all over the world.

I treated the teachers to lunch. We had yellow rice, chicken green beans, Tahu (fried Tofu marshmallow type things that are a local specialty. They taste like I what imagine marshmallows made out of dry wall would taste like.) Cucumbers, spicy Tofu, very spicy potato strips and super-hot sauce. 

One of the teachers made a sea weed pudding for me. The top had cookies suspended in the clear pudding, then vanilla pudding and then chocolate pudding. I’m not sure where the sea weed was but the pudding was delicious.

The headmistress could not be there but the school sent me a Black Forest cake.

All the teachers sang “Happy Birthday” to me.

Just as I was taking the first serving of lunch,

The school guard brought me a package from my sister, Lila. (It’s over on the right of the above picture.)

She sent me a book and a plaque.

The teachers seemed to have a good time.
