Birthday Party

Sorry about not posting for so long,

We're going to a birthday party in Ikere today. Birthday parties in Nigeria are a bit different than ones in the states because instead of having cakes and snacks and stuff, they usually give you full meals, and they're usually the same across all events; Jollof rice, Fried rice, moi moi. And the big difference between birthday parties in the us and in Nigeria is that if you don't want a bad taste in your mouth, stay away from the cake. People here don't know how to make cake, whatsoever. They think their cakes are fine, but they aren't. The aren't at all. Their cakes are like disguusting, tasteless, (don't forget stale and hard) cornbread, with a weird pasty icing. It's really disgusting. We've tried all kinds of cakes, none of them tasty. And I think the whole family has given up on the cakes. Let's hope I don't have to eat any today!
