Love / OK then Girls, whats good about the Polish lady?? [46]

i'm not as stupid as to think that at all.

thats good :P

Sorry maybe i just jumped on you a bit too harsh :)

Its just sometimes you get tired of people constantly saying that "you are polish, i heard that you are this and that"
You have to agree that its getting to a point where its annoying and unfair.

My individual statment of myself - IM THE BEST !!! :P

History / Memories of the Polish communist era [115]

only pink toilet roll

try grey :)
I was only a child in that time so i didnt understand most of it.
How its stuck in my head is:
Really lond queue to buy meat and sugar.
Most of the shops were empty.
I remember my mother's face when my dad managed to get furniture to living room - her face was like she just saw god :)

From my old photos from kindergarden and primary school - every child had exacly same shoes :)
I also remember parade on 1st May - absolutely all kids had to go through town vaving little flags.
At the back of my child's health book it was written : 2 pair of tights, 20dkg of ham, 100g butter etc (that was limit my mum could get for me)

One more memory - when i broke my glasses my mum was very upset / sad because it was really hard to get proper lenses.
But like i said - being a child i was happy and didnt really care that my parents had hard time to get food / clothes and everything else. For me it was beautiful time ive spent playing with friends :) TV was not popular so we were healthy childreen spending most of our free time outside :)

History / Memories of the Polish communist era [115]

What would be the singlest biggest and most visible difference between now and then?

Me being a child in that time i would have to say christmas !!!
It was so much diffrent than it is now.
Yes it is still so important but it was so much diffrent back then.
Church is more or less same as it was back then, but whole familly get together - diffrent story.
Christmas was only time of the year that you would get oranges !!!! Something so normal now back then was so important ! I was waiting whole year to be able to eat lots of chocolate and oranges ! Preparation for christmas lasted like 7 moths ? You would start saving good stuff just after easer :) I remember my mum would freeze chocolate and always telling me and my sister that its for christams and we have to wait :) Same was with all good meat / ham etc :) Those fiew days before christams when my mum started cooking - something that is so hard to describe. Smell of christams, knowing that you will eat so much good food and that you will get a lovely present hopefully from Pewex... Uh...

Now its so much diffrent. Yes i know, im not a child anymore, but still you dont wait for christams same way now. You can go buy oranges all yearround. You can have all that special things whenever you want.

I kinda miss that speciality about christmas that you had back then...

History / Memories of the Polish communist era [115]

thought good communists are supposed to be atheists?

Who said that poland chose to be a communist country from a free will ? :)
I think during that time it was more catholic then it is now !!!
My dad was a "communist". he had a "ksiazeczka partyjna", he was part of it but only on paper. Only reason for it - he wanted to have his job (as educated person you had to be signed in to get proper position at work).

When there was strajk in my home town and fiew people were shot my dad carried on his hands 2 men to my house where my mum as a nurse was looking after them. Middle of the night so neighbours cant see. He was a communist on paper but never at heart !

One further question - were you guys told by your parents/teachers in private that the whole thing was a farce and to not believe what you were taught in school?

I was too young to understand anything so i wasnt told about it. Or maybe i was told but i cant remember. Kids dont give a damn about politics and economics :)

Language / affectionate term in Polish [59]

-uś is typical for some names, but it's most used to very little kids

Yes its used for kids but also for people in love to call each other. Its typical in polish to use words end in "us" for loved ones.

Also word Kochanie (my love/darling) is not as often used as in english.
We dont go around and say for example "thank you love/darling". Word Kochanie is more reserved for a relationship and actual love/affection.

Language / Meeting girlfriends family and friends- phrases and wedding [10]

Probably you will hear another short song:
"A teraz idziemy na jednego, a teraz idziemy wodke pic"
Thats usually when band is taking short break and people go to drink more vodka :)
Like Krzysztof said - you will hear "Gorzko" fiew times;)
Knowing weddings you will hear songs like "Cudownych rodzicow mam", "Zlote obraczki" "Winda do nieba" etc.
You should expect lots of singing around oczepiny (bride takes of veil, and groom fly). Those are mostly funny little songs.
When everyone will be already drunk - you can expect to hear "hej Sokoly"

Polish wedding usually starts around 5-6 pm and last till morning. Then a bit of sleep and there is part 2 - poprawiny. Starts around mid day and last till evening.

And when you come back - please write your impressions about polish wedding :)

Life / Homosexuals in Poland / Hands off (PETITION) [797]

One of my best friends is gay.
He never really came out clean about it in poland. Just recently when he came to UK he is open about it.
From his expirience: Young generation of polish people have nothing against being gay but older people still treat is a kind of sickness or sin. He was told by few older people in poland that "they will pray for him"...

Food / Łowicz BEST JAM EVER [23]

Friend of mine had some polish doughnuts and she was surprised how good the jam was :) She was well impressed that it was not that liquidy, runny stuff but proper nice jam.

Then i bought her jar of Lowicz jam - well she hasn't bought anything else since :)
