Life / Buying a laptop in Poland with English O/S [11]


The netbook I'm using came with a choice of English or Polish.

I imagine that that is because it is a mobile unit. Some laptops may be similar. You should be able to check what each model offers by doing a google.

I'm sure you'll find something.

When was the last time you spoke to her ?

She must have checked out in the morning, yes/no

What time was her flight ?

Did she take a cab ? if so, did the hotel order it ?

Does she have a mobile phone ? The phone company might be able to trace the signal.

Travel / The most overrated or disappointing places to visit in Poland? [13]

I've got to say that I found the Mazurian Lake District very disappointing. It is totally beyond me how this place ended up on a list of the world's best places.

Why ? Because when one is sailing the only thing one can see is water, more boats and the tree lined shore. When sailing with a good wind or enjoying the sun it may appear beautiful, but in that case so would the Havel Lakes in Berlin or anywhere else.

Admittedly, on my last visit I kept off the boat as much as possible and walked as much as 30km a day... from port to port. Then I could admire the countryside, farms, large houses and forests, but I still don't consider the area to be of outstanding natural beauty.

The Lake District in England seems to offer much more, at least in the way of colour and diversity of landscape.

To sum up:
The Mazurian Lake District is a great place to go. Good sailing, nice little bars, various activities on offer. It just doesn't live up to it's reputation as 'the best'.

Life / Deadly Roads - "Are polish roads really THAT dangerous?" [139]


there was a time when Polish cars never stopped. if a car did stop you could be sure that it was german registered. now the law has changed, but of course it only applies to a minority of drivers... most seem exempt.

I shouldn't complain too much... after all, only two members of my family have been hit while crossing at a zebra crossing.

Genealogy / DNA Test Poland [29]


As I understand things:
Under Polish law this means that you have accepted responsibility for the child.
And that means it will be difficult to activate the 'get out clause'
The one who requests the test... pays for it.
Two or three years ago it was 1500zl.

There are plenty Polish folk in second marriages or partnerships... and of those there are a good percentage with kids from the former marriage.
I agree with all the above posts too.

Life / More Polish supermarket griping...this time about customers [29]


I find that it is only men who might let someone ahead of them.

Women seem to have a God given right. The supermarket is the only place in Poland where I will not give way to any female.

Life / Deadly Roads - "Are polish roads really THAT dangerous?" [139]


I'd add that it is a statistical fact that most Polish drivers are colour blind. This is evidenced by the fact that a traffic light at red or amber has little or no meaning.

Are they coming to Poland ? Tell me why I should see them.

New Year's Day.
from wikipedia: The lyric had its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife, but then was reshaped and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement.

What is it about U2 and this song ? How is it that this song has a greater effect on the Polish people than any written by a Polish national ?
