In other celebratory news, I recently received a box of cakes to commemorate the one month birthday of my boss's son. In Taiwan, several occasions are marked by gifts being given to friends and family - not just to the one with something to celebrate. For example, when a couple gets engaged, boxes of cookies are given out to relatives, friends, and acquaintances. For the one month birthday of a child, cakes are given. It's an interesting contrast from Western traditions.

mmmmmmm... those look really yummy. so, following other Taiwanese traditions, i'm guessing they were not? : ) ~sarah
oddly enough, most of them were surprisingly good. i guess every now and then there are rule breakers.
