If you'd pumped into me yesterday, I'd have given you chocolate to celebrate my birthday. One of these chocolates actually.

You have to buy a lot of chocolate when you teach more than 50 students in one day and you have just as many colleagues and friends at school.

I love the tradition of giving away chocolates on your birthday. I will definitely be doing this in the future no matter where I live. Only in English it doesn't sounds as nice to say "here's a chocolate" or "have a chocolate" or "you're welcome to a chocolate." It sounds a lot nicer in Bulgarian: заповядйте.
