Life / Kashubia, Kashebe and Kashubians. . . [23]

I am 100% Kashubian and lived in the Kaszuby area for 25 years :)
Maybe some people beat other with birch twigs for easter but i have never experienced it myself. And yeah, the one before a wedding everyone gathers at the bride's place to break some glass on her house's doorstep. It's followed by a small party, full of food and vodka and is always loads of fun :)

You cannot find it in any other regions of Poland.
Kashubian has lots of German influence as it had been a part of Prussia for years.
Kashubians however have always thought of themselves as Poles and never attempted to create a separate country.
In some places road signs are written both in Polish and Kashubian, and the language is being taught at school as well.
If you have any qs, feel free to ask :)
