Facebook changes… Posted by Kasia on Sep 22, 2011
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to talk a little bit about Facebook and recent changes on it. As many of you know, Facebook has been changing a lot of different things lately, without letting everyone know about it before hand. Some of us do not really care about them, some of us really hate it…

Golf has been played in Poland for longer than you might imagine. In the early part of the last century, before the Second World War, there were a couple of 9-hole courses, though these were mainly the preserve of the aristocracy or the army.

I was searching you tube videos and here is what I found: Russel Crowe, Robert Duvall, Robert Redford and John Cleese are just some of the stars featuring in a new promotional film made by Poland’s Foreign Ministry.
