USA, Canada / Are holidays to Florida popular in Poland? [21]


Where are you going? I love Miami - total party city, with plenty of fab shopping. Ybor City (near Tampa) is also fun if you live live music.

I really didn't enjoy Orlando - found it pretty naff to be honest, and full of sunburnt Brits. Also managed to avoid the Disney parks.

I don't think that there's a direct flight to Orlando or Miami from Poland.

Where / when are you thinking of going?

I remember going on holiday to Blackpool when I was a kid... they were like vulchers LOL!

Wow... I've not seen anyone metal detecting since about 1983! Do people still do it?

Where?

I once tried to get into a club near London Bridge, and the guys on the door wouldn't let me in because I wasn't Latina.

Maybe she's been murdered.

When I get really hungry, I'll sometimes say to Mr LC.... "ooooh I could murder an Indian" but please be assured that we just wander down Brick Lane for a curry, and no race-crimes are committed :P

I think that we're moving away from the original topic here - simply put, I think that the OP is either very misguided and naive, or she has simply posted the thread in a lame attempt to be controversial.

I completely see where you are coming from. I’ve seen this when I became self-employed. Ethnic groups (I am not referring to Polish in this instance) seemed to be entitled to all kinds of benefits, training courses, support groups etc exclusive to ethnic groups. I wasn’t entitled to this kind of support on the basis of being White British – even though I still faced the same challenges in being self-employed. If anything, I was probably more disadvantaged, because the ethnic groups tend to have a stronger sense of community.

Having said that, I did once attend an event for “women in business” and found it the most patronising pile of clap-trap that I have ever wasted time on. But I did enjoy the free champagne and canapés ;)

Agreed. Equality is the way forward.

Yup - fair point, and I'd agree with that. Bit of a heavy head this morning after being out on the cider last night.


what gave you that impression? LOL!!

Hmmm... not convinced. I get the impression that Nehemiah is posting his mate's details in this thread, outing him for a laugh. All very childish and pathetic.

UK, Ireland / Why British murder Polish? [41]

It is only a very, very small and sick minority that display anti-Polish sentiments.

As fars as I'm concerned, it's great to have some new Polish mates in the UK :)


That's not true at all. The Daily Mail may have a very right-wing attitude, blaming immigration for problems in UK society, however they would never condone this type of behavior.

Travel / Most Amazing places in Poland. What does it for you? [90]

That's a good point.

The funny thing is that when I think of Krakow, my first impression is to sigh and think of the stag party crowds and masses of tourists buying plastic dragons at Wawel Hill.

But looking at individual aspects, like the Crazy Tours of Nowa Huta and the jazz clubs on Florianska, and actually, I really do have a soft spot for Krakow... I guess it's just nowhere near as intense my current obsession with the Baltic Coast ;)

Polish National Tourism Office has started publishing a monthly magazine that focuses on different aspects of Poland. Lots of interesting articles, well written and uncovering Poland's "hidden gems".

It is a bloody amazing trip (and I am not affliated to the guys either). We were driven around by this young guy (that makes me sound ancient LOL!) who was a history student - really passionate about the history from that era.

We went out for a drive around the steel works. Now I know a thing or two about steel, but I was blown away by the sheer awesomeness (hahaha, trying to find a better word there) of it.

Awww... those pics are a sight for sore eyes.

I've been stuck at my desk for 16 hours today, and seeing those has just prompted me to take a peek at the Ryan Air website ;)

I guess the time of year that you visit a place also has some kind of bearing on how you feel about it...

I enjoyed Krakow in Winter - I had a lot of fun wandering around in the darkness trying to decide which little basement bar or jazz cafes to check out next.

Not sure whether it would be as much fun in Summer.

Cheers for the top tips.

I want to get back to the Baltic coast soon. Mr LC is a bit concerned by this obsession LOL!

Just been on the phone talking to somebody there... and I feel a bit down that I'm stuck here in London <sigh>

God I am soooo jealous.

I've travelled to a lot of places over the years... all round Europe, N. America, Asia and have only recently discovered Kolobrzeg and am enchanted by the place <dreamy expression>

No, I uploaded from a file on my laptop.

I also use dropshots.com, but I've got stuff on there that I'd rather not post on a public forum LOL!!

Here you go..... the beach.... I'd love to be there right now....

Edited to add:

or maybe not - the pic that I attached didn't upload. Just use your imagination ;)
