Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]

!... quite interesting indeed.

I am sure you will never be the same after making one trip there Lodz.. :-)

People

India is probably the country with the largest and most diverse mixture of races. All the five major racial types - Australoid, Mongoloid, Europoid, Caucasian and Negroid - find representation among the people of India, who are mainly a mixed race.

The people of India belong to diverse ethnic groups. At various periods of India's long history, successive waves of settlers and invaders including the Aryans, Parthians, Greeks and Central Asians came into the country and merged with the local population. This explains the variety of racial types, cultures and languages in India.

Languages
India has about 15 major languages and 844 different dialects. The Sanskrit of the Aryan settlers has merged with the earlier Dravidian vernaculars to give rise to new languages.

Hindi spoken by about 45 per cent of the population is the national language.

English has also been retained as a language for official communication.

Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]

Surprising,isn't it?

Yes, very! I have seen some Indians who are from the border areas (Sikkim?, Assam and also Nepali and Tibetan) but was surprised to hear about the Chinese community in Kolkuta (Calcutta) So do you know if this community are decendants of border area Chinese or from other locations in China? What dialects do (or did) they speak? Hakka? Cantonese? Mandarin etc?

Update: Ok i just came across this article.. very interesting indeed :-)

News / BOOZE & CAR TAX TO AID POLAND'S NEEDY? [23]

There's a market for those in Venezuela. I read something about a guy here in the USA who has a thriving business exporting used SUVs to that country as gas is so cheap there and SUVs are considered a status symbol there :-)

News / Captain of hijacked tanker is Polish [71]

I like the solution given by the Indian Navy. They sank a pirate boat yesterday.

Good intentions but they may have apparently sunk a hijacked Thai trawler..

They just need help!

Yeah they sure need help..

cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/11/19/somalia.pirates.boomtown.ap/index.html

"Somalia's increasingly brazen pirates are building sprawling stone houses, cruising in luxury cars, marrying beautiful women -- even hiring caterers to prepare Western-style food for their hostages."

Wonder why the Saudis and other mid-east countries there aren't doing much.. this is happening right in their backyard..perhaps they are hoping these incidents will drive up the price of oil...

Life / muslim community in poland [430]

A blatant copy and paste job.

here's another.. (just to show how easy it is to take things out of context from the internet and fit one's agenda)

You shall destroy all the peoples ... showing them no pity." (7: 16)

"... All the people present there shall serve you as forced labour." (20:12)

"... You shall put all its males to the sword. You may, however, take as your booty the women, the children, the livestock, and everything in the town -- all its spoil -- and enjoy the use of the spoil of your enemy which the LORD your God gives you." (20:14-15)

"... You shall not let a soul remain alive." (20:17)

All these quotations are from the part of the Old Testament called the Torah (Deuteronomy), a scripture that is holy to both Jews and Christians.

Life / muslim community in poland [430]

you people have a lot of issues.

I am just going by what you wrote in your post..You have basically clumped ALL Muslims as terrorists.. I am Catholic myself but I do happen to know a lot of Muslims who are truly peace-loving and very honorable individuals. You will find extremists almost everywhere.. This 'climate of fear' that you live in is only based on fairly recent events .. Tomorrow it could be a group of club-footed Eskimo men with lisps who can wreak even more havoc and terror .. you never can know for sure ;-)

Travel / Krakow to Auschwitz Transport [11]

Organised tours might be the preferred option for those

That's what I did.. and we boarded the bus at the Holiday Inn. (Arranged for the tour from a tourist office near the Cloth market Plaza area.) Worked out great.. the bus took us to both camps.. tour lasted 4 hours.
