Life / Poles in Poland: How did you learn your English? [60]

chinczyk, just living in an English speaking country is not good enough. I have known Italians and Poles who have lived in the US and Canada for 30 years.

my ex's (of italian heritge) grandad has been in australia since the end of ww2, his english was okay but at times incomprehensible.

it really depends on the individual, my dad was born o/s and came to australia when he was 6 or 7 and apart from a few mudder (mother) and ledder (leather) he could pass as an aussie no doubt.

Food / Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]

Does anyone have the recipe for the dough? I'd love to try making ome. I do make my own pierogi but it appears that this dough is a bit different.

my mum makes them with wonton wrappers as too time consuming to make the dough.

,how expensive! (compare with domestic prices),similarly,foreign restaurants in China are also expensive,he he he......

really, this isnt really expensive by australian standards

there are not too many places i could get dan dan, dumplings and stir fried vegetables for around $25.

Food / Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]

Wow~!you are very terrific!all the clients i met (except korean) can't use chopsticks,i remembered last time,our Pakistan client visited our company,he wanted to learn how to use chopsticks,but failed,he told me:"christy,it is too difficult for foreigner :( ,i must give up."he had no way,then i rushed into the near supermarket and bought fork&spoon for him.

it depends, in western countries such as australia, america, britain, etc there will be a large proportion of people that are able to use chop sticks. in pakistan i couldnt imagine there would be too many chinese or an influence of using chop sticks.

here is a link to a review of a dumpling restaurant:

Hi!how about talking something about Australia? in the Feb,i viewed some news about Koala,because of the drought,these lovely animals have no water to drink,how are they now?did the drought go through?

what did you google to get the pictures?

i dont know if that koala was heat affected or bushfire affected.

in february we had a run of 4 days around 40c, which inevitably led to some idiot lighting a fire and small towns being destroyed. im not sure if that koala is drinking because of that.

did you know that gum leaves for them are like alcohol/drugs for humans?

You surprised me! "hutong","dan dan",how can you know spell them? you are very cool ^_^

im not that cool, there are many chinese restaurants in melbourne. i remember the names.

I like dan dan noodles too,this is a Sichuan Specialty,i love Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine (because i'm Hunan people,ahahaha......).do you know why it is called "dan dan"?

Dan dan Mian (means noodle) first made in 1841,by a hawker from Zigong city (in Sichuan province),whose name is Chen Bao Bao,he carried a load on his shoulders ans sell this noodle along the streets.by and by,it was famous in Sichuan,in China,even all over the world.

i thought it was coz they were spicy...you learn something new everyday.

When it appeared in your Melbourne? i don't know ^_^ how you eat Xiao Long Bao and Dandan? using knife&fork?using chopsticks? he he he......

melbourne has chinese migrants since the 1800's when there was a goldrush. we still have a huge chinese population.

i use chopsticks to eat xiao long bao and dan dan...except when dan dan is nearly finished and i need a spoon.

Life / The Polish police in my apartment, asking for my passport and phone number. [33]

Have you applied for a residency permit? If so, it is a requirement for the police to come and confirm you live where you claim to live. With my last card they came three times before they were finally satified that I was who I claimed to be and did actually live in the flat I own.

harry has probably answered your issue in post 5, but continue your mindless whingeing.

you reminded of the movie "the pianist" the guy had to live indoor and he can't even caught,fearing for his life from the Nazis

Maybe Poland is large scene from the movie!!

good comparison flogtime27...are you always this astute?

Food / Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]

you must have been to Shanghai,(if you aren't chinese^_^),because your spell "Xiao Long Bao" is exactly right!!! i also like it,my favorite is Meicai stuffing (preserved flowering cabbage),wow~~~! drooling!

I am shocked that you know this

i am from australia, and australia has a large chinese migrant population.

dumplings are now the in thing with restaurants like "dumplings plus" and "hutong dumpling restaurant".

i also like dan dan (the spicy noodles).

Australia / Largest Polonia in Australia [6]

lalor.....have you been to lalor?

i actually live out that way and there isnt too many poles out in the north, they seem to concentrate more in the west and east.

At the 2006 Census, 32 per cent of Australians of Polish ancestry lived in Victoria (27 per cent in Melbourne), 28 per cent in New South Wales (21 per cent in Sydney), 13 per cent in Queensland (8 per cent in Brisbane), 11 per cent in South Australia (10 per cent in Adelaide), 11 per cent in Western Australia, 2 per cent in the Australian Capital Territory, 2 per cent in Tasmania and less than 0.5 per cent in the Northern Territory. [61] In sum, Australians of Polish ancestry tend to be big-city dwellers with nearly half of the group living in Melbourne and Sydney conurbations.

News / EU elections in Poland: excuses for not voting please [43]

The point is that you have to inform the AEC that you will be outside Oz, otherwise you will get fined for not voting.

i know i was able to get out of a fine when i was in the uk but my brother is doing some contract work and not even that seems to acceptable...or maybe he should lay off the drugs.

Life / Price of beer in Poland [90]

You have to admit it is a lovely beer though ;0)

its been a while, last time would have been in the uk which was over 8 years ago...too expensive in australia to buy at a bar.

Life / Price of beer in Poland [90]

Fosters and Castlemaine XXXX. The only occasion I used to drink either of them was on all day drinking sessions when I wanted a week beer that I knew I could drink 10 pints of without gettin too p!ssed.

thats your problem, no one drinks that **** in australia.

As far as Asian beers are concerned, Singha and Tiger Beer are both excellent.

these beers are the definition of weak.

but Pilsner Urquell is my favourite

its czech not polish.

News / EU elections in Poland: excuses for not voting please [43]

I do have Australian citizenship but do not vote in their elections.

im aware that you dont live in australia but our crazy country has this crazy notion that if you're a citizen then you are required to vote, if not then you get fined. and being out of the country is no excuse.

so i was more wondering if you had a trail of notices from the electoral offices floating somewhere.

Life / Would you intervene in a mugging on a street in Poland? [16]

you're lucky harry, you just dont know who is carrying what.

a similar incident to yours happened in morning peak hour in melbourne last year, some guy bashing and dragging his girlfriend to their car. 2 guys tried to help, both were shot, one died and the other eventually survived.

but it is a tough question.
