dafwhat's in a name? well, in poland, it turns out a name is not just something people call you by, it also determines when your name day is.
for those of you not in the know, a name day? is kinda like a 2nd birthday.
to celebrate we went to wood green for all the chinese food we could eat & then for a nice long bus ride.
for the first time in my life i find myself envious of those brought up in catholic countries... 2 birthdays... that's 30 lots of presents i've missed out on

It's cool they do in Poland :)
That's 31 by the way
