Alaska Day.

Dziś w Stanach Zjednoczonych obchodzony jest Dzień Alaski.

The Alaska Day festival is annually celebrated in the city of Sitka, Alaska. The three-day festival usually involves: a mayor’s proclamation; a costume ball featuring period costumes; dance performances; races; a concert; an army band; an air-sea rescue demonstration; an open house on board a coast guard cutter or naval vessel; and tea at the Pioneer’s Home.

On Alaska Day many people involved in the armed forces join in a memorial service at the Sitka National Cemetery and in a parade throughout the city’s business district. School bands, marching units and costumed participants are among the many people who participate in the parade. A re-enactment of the 1867 ceremony also occurs on this day – it involves the lowering of the Russian flag and the raising of the United States flag on top of Castle Hill, accompanied by ceremonial music.

Poland 4-2 Montenegro

O wczorajszym zwycięstwie w meczu z Czarnogórą można sobie poczytać po angielsku. Polecam!

Poland sealed their first World Cup spot since the 2006 tournament after an early onslaught and a late flourish, including a goal from the excellent Robert Lewandowski, gave them a 4-2 home win over Montenegro on Sunday.

The result left Poland top of Group E with 25 points from 10 games, five ahead of second-placed Denmark who sealed a playoff berth after a 1-1 home draw with Romania.

The Poles thrived on the selfless work of their record scorer Lewandowski, who netted one goal and had a hand in two more on Sunday after grabbing a hat-trick in Thursday's 6-1 away rout of Armenia.

The attractions that tourists expected to be bigger .

Na liście atrakcji, które rozczarowują turystów swoim rozmiarem, znalazły się między innymi: Mona Lisa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJspbcqz0U, pomnik syrenki w Kopenhadze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-78GvqwXbDA , figurka siusiającego chłopca w Brukseli https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1wTbECgY3s
a nawet Statua Wolności i Biały Dom.

Is that it? From the Mona Lisa to the Statue of Liberty, the attractions that tourists expected to be bigger

One traveller said they 'missed' the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen
Another said the Statue of Liberty looks nothing like it does in the movies
An Australian really wasn't terribly impressed with the scale of Stone Henge

In English, pleaseee...
