Love / POLISH CIVIL CEREMONIES TRADITIONS AND TIMELINE [8]

hmmm, a nice dress - it does not need to be white or ecru though (as the common stuff for a ceremony in the church) - for example, a friend of mine had a blue dress when she got married in registry office - all depends what makes you feel good...

Travel / Skiing in Poland - Krynica [4]

Hello there!

I remember skiing in Krynica too, my favourite slope was Jaworzyna :)

Whyikit: good choice if you plan skiing in PL!
Dazza: mulled wine and warm honey beer - that's what I really enjoyed!
The mail "pump room"(?) (I mean Pijalnia) of water in the city centre - I visited it only once - could not force myself to drink water there! It's apparently healthy spring water buttttt.... I just prefered a bottle of "Kryniczanka" from the shop ;)

Cheers pals!

Cheers.

Hmmm, Michałek sounds like small Michał, it's OK.
Samuelek and Janinka - sounds a bit artificial in my opinion...

Tell everyone what was the latest "really nice dream" that you had then?

News / Women's average earnings as a percentage of men's. Poland's near top. [50]


Where do you come from? Or to which part of Poland does it refer according to you?
I completelly disagree! Read newspapers (I mean decent ones), watch news or look around - the majority of woman work somewhere and some of them are on top managerial positions - both in a private sector and politics.

I would say that nowadays the minority of woman work at home (housewife).

Travel / holidays - do Polish people need visa to Caribbean? [6]

Thanks a lot tygrys! This is a good message for me - I think I may start saving for my trip then:) Have you ever been to Caribbean?

Has anyone been to Carribean area during a peak of hurricane season?

News / Women's average earnings as a percentage of men's. Poland's near top. [50]

I take that your objectives would be the following: cook dinner for a partner, tidy up the flat, go for a walk with a dog, food shopping... LOL :)

Personally, I would prefer SOMETHING more challenging :)
And funds from the other half? Hmmm... if you would like to be supported constantly and stay housewife for the whole life that would be called a sponsorship and not a partnership/relationship!

Oh yeah, clothes! but clothes for your partner..... ooops, sorry, your sponsor! lol

good luck ;)

Yes not I used: LOL or :) or ;) for nothing! oh well...

Travel / PLANES VERSUS TRAINS ~ WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? [32]


I keep reading and the more I am reading the more I want my yesterdays trip(WAW - LGW - EDI) to happen again :) Long distance walks to gates/terminals/(at times even toilets, LOL) helps to straighten the bones between the flights! :)

Long queues to security? - well, the bast way is to calm down, smile and use your charm and ask somebody to let you in :) hihii :)


I (will) try to avoid them! LOL they are boring & depressing! ;)


no matter what the distance is... planes, planes, planes! planes! lol

As far as I am concerned, planes are great "things" - in terms of a modern way of transport and technik!!!! The power of engines, human's ability to control a plane... always amazing for me!!

I am looking forward to my next air trip! oh, I forgot to add - I am happy that I do not fly directly but need to connect at one of the busiest European airports! LOL!

Food / KLUSKI Z SEREM -- family favourite. Lane kluski too. [10]

Mmmm... I really like kluski z serem! very simple to do and very good, especially if you put some more effort and prepare home made noodles/pasta/kluski!!! I like them with lots of "bialy ser/twarog" and tiny slices of "skwarki" - well fried bacon - if I dont have bacon I cut onion into very small pieces, fry it till it becomes brown and it tastes good too... :) Smacznego :)

Food / KLUSKI Z SEREM -- family favourite. Lane kluski too. [10]

twarog = "bialy ser" and on some web sites it was translated as a cottage cheese too, try to google "bialy ser" and the pictures should explain...

Kluski z serem could be also known as "kluski lyzka kladzione" (z serem)

Life / Grandmother's day & Grandfather's day in Poland [7]

Life / Grandmother's day & Grandfather's day in Poland [7]

Life / Grandmother's day & Grandfather's day in Poland [7]

here we go esek: mothersdaycelebration.com/mothers-day-uk.html

Tato, Tato ukochany,
my życzenia Ci składamy.
Przesyłamy jakby z procy,
sto całusów z całej mocy!

UK, Ireland / Danio (vanilla) yoghurt on UK market - help!!!! [25]

Taa Seanus.
I take it you have not been back to Scotland for a while :))

Neither Sainsburry nor asda sells it :(((

I even emailed UK's Danone and they replied they do not offer such a product on UK's market. well, the only place where I get get Danio are polish shops - but they only offer 150 gr Danios and there are always just a few on the shelf (saying nothing about the ridiculous prices for which they sell it).

well, I am a hugry Pole and need 400 gr Danio :)) lol

would order about 30 - 40 of them... if I could only find them! sniff sniff

HEEEELP!!!

:)

UK, Ireland / Danio (vanilla) yoghurt on UK market - help!!!! [25]

I can have them delivered from PL but it would be easier to get them in UK...

A shop in London sells them but they only deliver within London area... oh well...

UK, Ireland / Danio (vanilla) yoghurt on UK market - help!!!! [25]


This is teasing me :)))

Seriously, I know what you mean, when we must wait for something we may appreciate it more later.

Asian food you are saying, hmmm... Poland does not have as many asian places as Britain, true.
Hmm, how did you end up living in Poland Seanus?

UK, Ireland / Danio (vanilla) yoghurt on UK market - help!!!! [25]

Hope you enjoy Poland.


Owww aye!!! :)

UK, Ireland / Danio (vanilla) yoghurt on UK market - help!!!! [25]

Wroclaw, I have already written to UK Danone :) They replied they do not sell it in UK market.

Bakoma does not have anything as delicious as Danio :( Thanks for a suggestion though Prince.

dtaylor, I eat danio, sorry Danio, as I just like it :)

Finally, Seanus ... :) ... it was just a wee trip to Dundee, and an accident I was in tesco there, you can imagine my big smile when I saw Danio on the shelf, well, plenty of them!!! unlike in any polish deli around - every time I pop in they have just a few Danio on the shelf, between polish sausages and cottage cheese! :) I dont think they would have more than 16 packs danio ( = 1 box) lol :)

Danio with "biszkopty" is good or danio with jelly.... mmmm:) oh, enough, I think somebody from Danone should read it and send me a nice gift for a free advertisement!!

Love / KISSING ON THE LIPS (problem with my Polish in-laws) [17]
