History / Polish soldier stories [50]
My first great grandfather was one of the first polish tank drivers. When he was 16 he join up the army to fight bolshevicks. Second one was also 16 yo when he enlisted. ( both lied about their age cause they were too young to join ). He was in the cavalry and took part in the greatest cavalry battle of XX century - battle of Komarow (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Komarów). He was wounded in the head and the story tells that his horse saved his live, tooking him away from the battleground and standing upon him till he was found after the battle was over. He got the medal of courage.
Other great grandpa was an officer in polish army. He was murdered in 1940 in Katyn. His older brother took part in Wielkopolskie uprising. His memories from the battle of nowe kramsko were published.

Love / Younger foreign man dating older polish women ? [28]
Marco, love isn't mathematics. Everything is possible.
I still wait for answers from Polish people or from people living in Poland more recently
is it possible for me, a 30 years old foreign man, to find a woman who is 35-45 years old, who will be ready to live with me or even fall in love with me?

vodka is great but tallkig the same bullshit about poles and vodka over and over is already boring. when there was no places to go out people made a home parties and drank mainly vodka, now if we wanna have fun we go out to the pubs or clubs and drink beer or drinks. people drink coffee at home and at work, custom of going out to the caffeteria isn't really popular.

we had a nice tradition of impalement. from 14 to 18 century it was a very common method of execution in eastern part of Rzeczpospolita. impalement lasted even couple hours and the impaled guy was dying for a few days.
