If Poland Had A Facebook Page….
by Jamie Stokes
A recent study, carried out by scientists who surely should be doing something more useful, has revealed that our Facebook pages are, unexpectedly, a good reflection of our real characters. Since the entire world is now on Facebook, it is only a matter of time before countries themselves decide to join. This is my imagining of what Poland's Facebook page might look like.

Tasty mussels in Brussels. If you are ever here as President of the Council of the European Union, like I am, you should try some.

Dzięki Paweł!
