If you like sheep and mind numbingly empty places, then you are likely to have visited the Falklands – where Fort Stankley lies. Notwithstanding Argentine invasions, this is a great little remote backwater to name you child after.
Days Off: How Many Do You Get?

If they are given days off, it is usually just 10 working days plus 8 national holidays. Pretty crap eh? We have it quite sweet here in Britain; only Tunisia has more days off – offering its lucky workers 30 working days off per year.

Serbia Mural Painting

The project was part of the Novi Becej festival, a town in the north of the country.

The temperature reached well into the 30s, which made the town river, the Tisa, ideal for swimming in. Even though it was full of green weeds.
