YouTube - Happy Birthday Madzia!

Shortly after posting my first YouTube video, I was contacted by a Polish guy who wanted to make a video of people all over the world saying "Happy Birthday" to his girlfriend.  He dug that I was an American who could speak Polish, so he asked me to wish her "Happy Birthday" in Polish and I did.  He also corrected some of the Polish from my earlier video (see the comments there), for which I am very greatful!

The video he made is now finished and posted!   While some of it is pretty corny, I think the video on the whole is really cool.  Some people sang, some made signs, some played musical instruments (there's a flute and violin in there) and several different languages are represented (Polish, Czech, Spanish, French, sign language).  I particularly like the guy at the end with balloons taped to his head, singing in French and drinking a beer!

But its really the YouTube community that impressed me.  That all these people, from all over the world, who don't even know each other would put so much effort in to this. Great work guys!
