Last week was my 30th birthday, an important number in a woman’s life, at lot of people say this in Colombia.

The day start in usual way, a little cold, then I went to my German class in DeutschAkademie. In the afternoon I met with my boyfriend for have lunch together, when we met, he had a bouquet of flowers for me. (He is very sweet). Then we went home and he had prepared an Apple pie for me.

We ate a little and, in the evening, we went out for dinner. And although the story seems normal so far for me it has 2 surprising moments: the first one I can’t believe that my boyfriend has decided to take a day of his vacation to spend my birthday with me, that in my country does not happen, the second one although my boyfriend baked a cake for me, here in Germany the person who celebrates his birthday is the person who should organize his celebration and even bring the birthday cake, in Colombia is the opposite the family and friends prepare the birthday celebration, including the birthday cake and the dinner.
