Life / Asian and Polish culture - how do they compare? [24]
I always thought some of the more traditional Polish costumes looked Asiatic, although more Persian or Central Asian than Far Eastern.
Here is a traditional Polish depiction of a Mongol warrior:

Travel / No Polish villages on google earth [13]
I noticed that too--I wonder why you can't get close-ups of Poland on Google. Is is a political issue?

Genealogy / Oko surname - Rzeszow area [3]
Hi,
I can't really answer your questions about the surname. Seems like an interesting name; it almost has a kind of mystical connotation. One of your ancestors must have been a person of special vision to be named "Eye." One thing is for sure, there are probably a lot of people who if they did not know it was Polish would assume Oko was a Japanese name. I've noticed some Slavic names are like that, especially ones ending in "ko."

Which is why I don't own one!
Before I die, though, I want to get that DNA test done somehow!

Life / Why are the Poles picked on there is no reason to do this to them [108]
What makes you think Polish people are picked on? I always thought it was the other way around.

Those kits are kind of expensive, aren't they? Over $100, I think. I'm too poor to afford it.:(

USA, Canada / Polish People and Events in Southern California [9]
Polka dancing clubs have events here and there. Poles often show up. I'm not really into it, so I don't know much about it.
Also, there used to be Polish folk dance groups performing at the L.A. County Fair, but those have been phased out in recent years.

That is so cool! Thanks, Witek, I'm so glad to know that. Some day I'll get my genetic test done to see if I have R1a, too.
