Here is how you celebrate your birthday around here:
You go watch a football game with friends in a seedy cafe,
where the team you're cheering for wins the Cup,
then you interview for the national television of the country that won - in spanish, por favor,
then you hit the dancefloor in a techno party in the woods,
flirt with a cute Italian NGO worker,
get your friends, and some random people, to buy you drinks,
Then you go home - because your birthday is actually the next day and you're just getting started!
Here's to many years of random events and a series of some good, and many bad decisions which have somehow compiled to get me to where I am right here, at this very moment.
And it couldn't have turned out any better.
And many thanks to my friends for their many "Happy Birthday" emails and messages!

In Palestine: oh well. the usual. You know, throwing stones at Israeli tanks and stuff. What else is there to do here?
Happy belated birthday.
Wait, were you interviewed for TVE? That's hillarious. Thanks for supporting my folks, anyway. I was very skeptical, but they did a great job.
Take care of yourself.
