At World Nomads HQ, the Pond is lucky enough to be located on Level 6 - it's sunny and spacious and probably most important of all we love to celebrate. We celebrate Fridays, we celebrate staff meetings (usually with some form of ethnic food and dress, and a dancing competition) and most importantly, we celebrate birthdays.
Whenever someone has a birthday, whoever's not on the phone sings happy birthday to the birthday boy or girl and then we all get to eat yummy yummy cake. We've had cheesecakes and mudcakes and sponge cakes and my personal favourite, a tiramisu cake - culminating in a week with 3 birthdays, and yes 3 cakes!
Alas our days of cake are numbered! Pond members are devastated that our birthday celebrations have been limited to once a month among rumours that we all eat soooo much cake that building management is worried that we will fall through the floor. And being in a heritage building that is simply not acceptable!
