Travel / How to get from Okecie to Olsztyn! [9]

Ach I see, it's another town. :P
Well, then it's really nice of you to travel to the middle of nowhere to surprise your parents! :)

You know, maybe I will visit cute little Lidzbark myself when in Poland. Just for fun to see what place it is. - Do your parents offer B&B? I could sleep in the hay-barn. Nie ma problemu! ;-)

Travel / How to get from Okecie to Olsztyn! [9]

For what I see, pkp offers a direct connection from Okecie to Lidzbark Miasto @ 56,20 zł 2nd class.

Travel insurance just covers the extra costs when something goes wrong while it isn't your fault. That could be many things, so still it is recommend to have a travel insurance. My bank offers a permanent travel insurance for a few euros a year, so maybe check with your bank for such a deal.

Well, have fun visiting your family! :)

Love / Is Polish girls' beauty a myth? [78]

What I like in Polish girls, is that they know what's going on in the world and that they can be a bit alternative as well. E.g. some like punk and indie music.

All-in-all I have the idea that Polish women are less the cliché "thick make-up doll gold-digger girls" who like to go to 50 Ct.'s candy shop.

However, you reap what you sow. If you are a complaining prick, you probably attract girls with the same mentality. :-)

Love / What are the perceptions of polish towards homosexuality? [106]


Maybe some HS show this behaviour, but there are many HS who behave just like you and me.

Love / Polish Lady making me Bigos... [przez żołądek do serca] [18]

It nice to make and it tastes great indeed. Only you have to be aware to put the cabbage into the freezer to night before for easy removal of leaves. - However I forgot, but after good boiling the leaves came off easy as well. - Still it takes up some time to make the whole dish.

So far this Jamie Oliver intermission. Now back to the studio..

Może make her gołąbki in return! :-)

Love / What are the perceptions of polish towards homosexuality? [106]


Well, what's against and along the 'natural cycle' is questionable. Since the number of homosexuals in society seems to be steady, it looks like it's just a part of Mother Nature.

As well, you see some homosexual and lesbian couples have children together. So you cannot even say that they are against the 'natural cycle' because they cannot have children.

Second a 'disease' implies that the subject is suffering and that his/her (mental) health is in danger. You don't see that with homosexuals.

They aren't less healthy or less sane then any other straight person.

Love / What are the perceptions of polish towards homosexuality? [106]

It's nice that Poland seems to get more tolerant towards people with a 'different' sexual preference.


tsja girls..

History / 4 Norwegian soldiers helped SS murdering Civilians in Warsaw 1944 [13]

Well, the positive thing is that the Norwegians seem very helpful people. Unfortunately, they offered their help to the baddies. ;-)

Life / Internet Problems in Poland, need help connecting. [26]

Sometimes it helps to assign a static ip-address to your laptop.

Life / Tips on Polish television series? [3]

Thanks, I will have a look at the soaps and the kids programs. No slang and not too fast is a big advantage indeed! :-)

Hmm last one is quite an adrenaline rush. Thanks for the tips McCoy!

News / Shock therapy for Polish prisoners. [13]

...And I thought all Polish students already had made an excursion to Auschwitz in high-school?

Food / Where to buy Cheddar in Warsaw? [57]

wouldn't expect else from such a "cheesy culture".. ;)

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]

Ah true, I mistaked! My aunt would say: Alzheimer light. He he. :P

News / Rydzyk gets away with racism yet again [198]

Ha ha reminds me a bit about what Putin said to Obama. :P

Love / Better place to meet women in Poland? Krakow or Gdansk? [5]

Krakow is more international and student-like. Gdansk looks cute, but it is small and from my experience the discos and rests close early (I was there 3, 4 years ago). Sopot is nice, but most parties are private. However I had a great beach party somewhere and they played 'We Are the Champions' with Polish lyrics. :P

Maybe start in Krakow, then three days Sopot and then home. :-)

To me you look American-Polish.

Life / The best Polish song ever! [23]



KAŻDY! :D

Love / What is your opinion on the Polish Ladies in Krakow? [82]

@TS

Dude, just speak to girls. Some are nice and maybe some aren't. Never ever had any bad experience in Krakow. - And if girls are b*tching, well then it's their problem. :P

Ok, don't be a mothers-boy and just give it a try! Good luck! :D

Life / Why do a lot of Polish people stare and why is good personal hygeine shunned? [108]

Maybe they hoped mama Justysia would put them into the tub and scrub them off :D

Language / "Leje jak z cebra" [11]

Ah I was thinking of a 'cebra' (animal) because the English use animals as well in their saying.

Splashing water out of buckets makes more sense indeed! :D

Thanks!

Language / Jest/To jest - to jest is often abbreviated to just to [24]


Why doesn't it makes sense? To me it reads as 'The test is a lot of work.'.
'Kolokwium to dużo pracy.' would I translate with 'The test, (well) that's a lot of work!'.

Life / Would I be accepted as a Pole (being half-Greek, half-Polish)? [16]

Somehow I must think of this song:
