Birthday Wishes
So yesterday was my birthday. I decided to buy cakes for the office in celebration of both my birthday (as is customary in the UK office) and of moving into my new house here in Libya - more on that later.
I place the cakes in the staff kitchen which, as usual, is filled with Libyans chatting and generally not doing much else. There is much excitement as they wish me happy birthday and dive in for the cakes.
Suddenly one girl who is sat in the corner looking a little puzzled, suddenly realises what is going on (her English is not so good). She jumps up out of her chair, arms flailing and shouts:
At least she tried.
