I had a bit of a break and enjoyed a week in New York. But even while there you can’t escape all things Polish.

It’s a charity event which aims to raise money and awarenes for charity: water. I’m a bit disappointed no Polish city will take part, but then again Twitter-mania hasn’t reached Poland yet (plus there’s [...]

Indeed, WHAT do you think? This is my new Twitter mini-poll.
