thanks for telling me about your relationship. you say you had a good time and like each other a lot. that doesn't sound like very strong feelings for one another! maybe if you felt more you would have moved to Poland

Life / Cheap way to call Poland [6]
Well relatively cheap (if you are making a lot of calls)....
I was finding that ringing Poland on my mobile was costing me £10 for seven minutes. What i have now is a Skype To Go number. I have been allocated a UK phone number which i can phone and it connects me to my beloved in Poland.

Love / The Polish girl i love has gone back to Poland . [65]
I find myself in a similar situation. My girlfriend has been back in Poland for 3 weeks now. Her not being there when I wake up is very hard to cope with! We talk on the phone a few times a week, but we don't communicate too well on the phone.
sounds like sensible advice.
I plan to move to Poland, so perhaps my situation is slightly different. Until that time I am in a long distance relationship and have to try to make the most of it.

e-mailing, texting, calling, writing, sending packages and keep that person next to you in your heart
sounds like sensible advice.

Language / Polish words shared with the french language [29]
I was telling my girlfriend that the Polish have stolen many(!) words from the French language. The only examples I could come up with were mur (wall) and bilet / billet (ticket). My knowledge of french is poor and my polish worse. Can anyone else help prove my point?

Language / Sending SMS messages without using Polish characters [23]
When texting someone in Polish my phone doesn't support accented and special characters. What is the convention here, do you just use the un-accented version? Are there any pitfalls where doing this could completely confuse/upset someone? I remember the first text message I sent to my beloved I had to find a phrase without any special characters in it, not something I can keep on doing!

Alas, my luck was only partial. I didn't ruin my phone, but on the other hand I didn't succeed in getting a Polish character set. Strangely I now have Turkish characters available.

Interesting idea. I'm only going to 5 days and I like to be waited on hand and foot. Hotels are pretty cheap too. Might be worth considering for a future trip though...
