Travel / Will my rented car be stolen or broken into when in Poland? [24]

Nothing ever happend to my rent a car. Rent modest car ( no VW or Audi) .
Park in lighted areas. Keep inside clean, open compartments. Always turn alarm on. Drive with lights on - always! Park in designated areas to avoid tickets and towing, or cap on your tire. Watch for radars and cops , but you get usually warnings from other drivers:) Get diesel - is cheaper:)!

Enjoy your stay in Poland!

USA, Canada / Flower / Gift delivery from USA to Poland? [18]

Why??? Look online for a local flower shop in Warsaw and order from there. I do it for many years already, have my favorite flowershop in Gdansk. They do an awesome work and much cheaper than international delivery. You can discuss the current store stock with the owner, make suggestions about the arrangement, the delivery etc. You pretty much would know what are you ordering.

USA, Canada / Polish Beer in Houston area Texas [7]

try Specs, the best one is in downtown on Smith St.
Is a great liquor store! Didn't see any polish beer there because of rather strange import regulations. You can enjoy it in Polonia Restaurant on Blalock.

USA, Canada / Calling home with the great international calling service [11]

phonecards4all.com/search.asp?country=255

depends where you calling from
allways check connection fees, maintenance fees, and billing interval.
If you call often but short, you will look for low connection fees. If you call 1-2 times a month - look for low maintenance fees. Calls can be rounded to 1 or 3 minutes - sure the 1 minute are the best.

Prepaid calling cards make you independent - you can call from work, from friends home, on the way. You ger the PIN per email. Very convenient:)

Genealogy / Polish and Mongolian [30]

Hmmmmmmm... Guest,
Tatras are not Tatars... sorry - same letters but not in same order:)lol

I am Polish with Tatar background. My ancestors from my father site are from Crimean Golden Horde.

re: "Myatska": Who said that all Polish people must have blond hair and blue eyes?????
Also there could be some ethnic mix in the past. Or Gypsys or Jews...:)
