Why do Chinese people like taking pictures of cake? You'll have to excuse my broad stroke here, but it seems quite true. What is so enticing about 100 shots of a cake, followed by 50 shots of the cake cutting? Many of you know what I'm talking about. Some of you don't. Most likely because you've never been to a birthday celebration with primarily chinese people.
Not only do we take all those shots, we will post every one facebook. Give it enough time and Google+ will be flooded with gratuitous cake shots as well. Don't believe me? Here: Next time you are celebrating a birthday with your chinese friends, observe the behavior (you have to put down the camera first). Try to stop people from taking pictures of it and you will probably be killed. Seriously.

I thought this was just normal. My family always takes pictures of the cake & cake cutting. We like to get everyone's facial expressions or all of the details on film.
