Life / Poles' tolerance towards other Races [190]

The ones still sacrificed human flesh to their gods in 16thC

That`s what we call culture. Every place has its own. The catholic church used to do worse things (and still does).

how to produce pure iron when the spaniards arrived.

They had no need!

I`m not here to say which race is the best and I don't want to start any kind of pointless discussion. I just think to say that such a race is better than other one it`s a stupid thing to do.

News / What does Poland mean to you? [66]

The best food in the world? I love Polish food but maybe u made that comment due to a lack of sampling. How much international cuisine have u tried?

Well, enough to say again that polish food is the best!! Ok, lebanese and italian are fighting for the first position as well ;) Brazilian is in second and english... LAST!!!

Life / Customer Service in Poland, what are your experiences? [106]

I found the service in Poland genuine. Sometimes not as good as desired, but genuine. In UK all shop assistents seem to be following some kind of guide book 'How to serve a customer'. Is there anything more annoying than, for example, when you go for a coffee in Starbucks and you need to tell them how are doing, explain to the ones behind the counter why are you happy/sad, or if you dare to change you usual order... oh, boy, than you need to have some big time to spare because they will ask you WHY you have changed your every day drink! Affff.

Food / Krakow Restaurant Recommendations [17]

Polskie Jadlo is a really nice one. Good tip! It's a chain with at least two in Krakow. But my favourite one is Pod Aniolami. They have great tradicional polish food there and the atmosphere is also something beautiful. It is a old cellar and you really have impression you are back in time. You can have a look in its website podaniolami.pl for the menu. Enjoy!! I`m jealous already :)

Life / Polish people driving abroad, is the license valid? [3]

Hi! I and my husband are going to Brazil for our holiday this year and we are planning to do some road trip there. Does anyone know if Polish Driving License is valid abroad or just inside of EU? It will be pretty tough if I will have to drive alone the few thousands kilometeres we are plannind to cover.

Thanks,

Food / Polish summer soup [8]

Hi everyone! Last summer my hubby introduced me to a polish summer soup that I can`t recall the name right now. It`s made with barszcz, dill, plenty of garlic... it`s divine. I`d like to surprise him and make the zupa myself. Does anyone know the name or even better has the recipe?

I highly appreciate... and my hubby as well ;)

Food / Polish summer soup [8]

It`s a red soup. Actually it`s a pink soup. All I know is that my husband uses barszcz concentrate and fresh cream to make the base and then add garlic and all that. I have no idea how it`s called:(

Life / Polish people driving abroad, is the license valid? [3]

Believe me or not but I`ve already called everywhere I could. They gave me several answers, all of them differ form each other. First they said it`s valid for 3 mth, then they said I would have to ask for an international one, and so on.

I wanted to know if someone had such situation because I don`t have a clue where else I can look up for information.

Life / Retail outlets in Poland that are also in the UK? [10]

For example the stuff in Zara, Warsaw, just does not compare on any level to the things you can buy in their branch here in Dublin. Polish women tend to dress quite conservatively and the stock reflects this.

And strangely the clothes I find in polish Zara are more expensive than the ones in UK and Spain (the same ones).

Polonia / What are the similarities/differences to life in Brazil versus Poland? [14]

Hi! I don't know if there are many brazilians using this polish forum as I've noticed the majority of people here is from UK, USA and Ireland. However I'd like to ask the brazilians out there who lived or live in Poland, which are the differences and similarities from Poland to Brazil? I've been to Poland several times, but as a tourist and I think you have to live there to get the feeling from the place and see what really bothers you or pleases you.

Thanks,

J.

Travel / Most Amazing places in Poland. What does it for you? [90]

my current obsession with the Baltic Coast

If you like Baltic Coast you should go to Chalupy. It`s really nice place and in summer time they have Kitesurfing competition.
Personally, I love all the way to Hel :)

Great post Zgubiony!

Bladdy ell mate its only small - too many people there already!!!!

It's cute and the beach is perfect. I've been there few times and couldn't see too many people. Maybe it's because I live in London and lost the notion what overcrowd places are :)

Were you there to party - thats when it really crowds up

No, I went once to watch the Kitesurfing competition which was crowd but nothing that bothered me (and I hate crowd places) and other 2 times just to enjoy the almost virgin beach.

Travel / Other than Krakow or Warsaw, which cities should I visit? [18]

I would go to Torun. It's fantastic a city and not many tourists. Perfect combination. Maybe you can stay in Poznan and make a day trip to Torun stopping over in Gniezno (first Poland's capital). It can be a nice road trip.

Work / Mexican looking for a chance to work as a musician in Poland...... [7]

Hi! You will be fine. Polish people love Latin things. There is even a salsa school in Poznan, I just don`t recall the name. I wish to know how to dance samba :)))

Best of luck.

I'm a Latin musician and dancer. Any chances in my profession in Poland?

Do you know how many chances I have here to succeed in my profession here in Poznan?

hola;)

don't know exactly the chances for you but "latin" is quite popular and your first step should be asking in latin clubs...check muchos potatos (stupid name but it works;) - always busy;), piano bar (in browar), cuba libre, and sth around wrocławska street but just heard about it...they like to organize salsa lessons etc.ask there, who knows. at least they will give you more info where to look for sth.

suerte!!!!;)

Life / Present for Polish friends ~ is anything hard to get any more? [57]

What about a coffee table book just containing pictures of british landscape? I know it`s not very useful, but it could be a nice present.

Tea as well is not a bad idea. Everyone in Poland loves tea (not as much as in England tough:)). I don't know how easy it is to find English breakfast tea and Earl Gray in Poland.

Life / Studying the possibilities of living in Poland.. [34]

but tell me one thing though, is it too chocking to learn everything new? language, culture, people, food.... ?)

Hi Gleite! I'm also from Brazil and I think I can answer some of your questions regarding to culture shock, weather and food. Although I've never lived in Poland, I go there every year to spend a few days. PM me if you want to ask something :)

Boa sorte!

UK, Ireland / 2 years in London, maybe it's time to go back to Poland? [60]

[quote=sapphire]
and people do smile in London, just not when they are on the tube. Imo the Poles generally look more miserable than the average Brit.. theyve always got something to moan about.

Yeah... because english people never moan?!?!?!?!
