it'll be my 2nd time spending my birthday abroad. first trip was on my 8th birthday, in Hong Kong and it sucked 'cos it was dead town on Christmas day. my birthday cake was some packed cake cube and Nissim cup noodles from 7-11. my mom got me decent slice of cake from the hotel cafe the next morning. it's no birthday without good cake. my first color-screen sega handheld compensated for everything. memorable.
