Actually, I have been living and working in Russia for a while in the
past. They would eat cakes on any occasion. Someone has a baby? Let's
have a cake! Someone gets back from vacations, let's have cakes!
Someone is leaving the company? He pays cakes to everybody! It's
Cakeland! =)

> The cake is mentioned in humorous/irony context, when 2 persons speaking:

> 1st: i am cool, isn't ?!?!
> 2nd: yeah, buy a medal for yourself

We would say that one in Canada. =)

Поздравляю! В каком городе ты живёшь? Это сюрприз узнать, что есть
люди в Украине, которые создают программы на языке программирования
Smalltalk. Тебе нужно Smalltalk на работе или что? Мне кажется, ты
хорошо знаешь Squeak уже. =)
