Europe Day, 9 May; how will you celebrate it?

Monday, 9 May, is 'Europe Day'; the day to celebrate Europe! Surprised? For many Europeans it is not yet well known, but since 1985, Europe has its own day to celebrate the specific character of Europe. The unique European mix of numerous different languages, countries, regions, food, music; all in a rather small geographical location; that constitutes Europe. What is your favourite mix?
