Travel / Pictures and advice from trip through Poland [18]
Nice photos Isarfreak.
ditto
It's great you felt safe and nothing happened to you but I wouldn't be so sure. You have to be careful everywhere, no matter which country you visit. I know from my own experience that travelling in Poland, especially by train, isn't always so safe.

go out to Mazurskie. this area holds the most beautiful landscape i have yet set my eyes on
ditto
don't listen to anyone feeding the stereotype of criminal and dangerous Poland

Yes, indeed.
But there are also private dormitories which are more like flats with about 3 rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom (such a dormitory is called Burżuj). They are more expensive but also more comfortable. However, I think may be a bit late to rent a room in a dormitory...
the dormitories in Lublin the kitchen and the bathrooms are common for every one in one floor is that true?

Why were you so convinced you were safe? Of course it's good to feel secure (at least you don't lose self-confidence) but I would be careful even if someone told me the "unlit, dirt-track road..." in the foreign country is the safest place in the world!
probably you're right but I still think you'd better play it safe by avoiding walking alone at night...
maybe I'm too careful or I heard too many stories about muggers, rapists etc.
I never felt in danger for one second, not even when walking down an unlit, dirt-track road in a secluded part of Ostroda with my headphones in

poland isn't as bad as rumour has it in terms of being robbed

Love / I'm a turkish guy who thinks that polish girls are slutty [113]
95% of Polish girls you met. That makes the difference.
Why do you call a woman slut when she likes flirting and sex. Do Polish girls take money for sex with turkish guys?
Would you disapprove of a man who sleeps with many girls? I doubt it.

Haha, Freud said that things you are most afraid of may be in fact your depeest fantasies!
I probably don't understand this emotion because I always feel some anxiety in such situations.
Was poland the first place where you had this sense of security while walking alone at night? Have you ever had any bad experience?
we all have a fantasy or two ;)

It wasn't because of anything anyone "told" me. We are talking about emotions here, not logic.

Maybe it's polish women who take advantage of turskish men, not the other way round? And you are so naive in believing that it's a woman who is seduced. you make me laugh, men always think they have control over women and don't even see girls are cleverly manipulating them. wake up and smell the coffee!
we just have fun with you, have sex with you and send you back

See, it seems only women with deformed vaginas sleep with you.
You f***** only 2 polish woman and you say all of them are sluts. Go and learn something about statistics!
if the faithful turkish women are so interested in turkish men's dicks I doubt one is enough for them!
how can you call women you have sex with sluts?! a respectable man doesn't sleep with sluts.
yea, your vaginas are really deformed

Study / a big problem! exam document not accepted in Warsaw. [25]
It seems the admninistrations of most universities are complete shambles. In my department a student is expected to attend 2 different classes and one lecture at the same time and nobody cares. I would like to switch the groups but there is no such possibility! I'm struggling to set my timetable and it's the first time I have begged my teachers to be allowed to attend their classes (which are of course obligatory!).
The recruitment process seems to be a kind of preparation for studing in this mess.
Moonsa, I'm curious how your struggle will finish.
as a matter of fact the dean and the others in Warsaw are playing with us!

Language / DIALECTIC VESTIGES IN STANDARD in Poland [9]
I don't pronounce trz as cz.
t definitely assimilates to rz but not to such extent that it becomes cz. It's czszeba (rz is devoiced) rather than czeba! As Polonius3 says the latter is typical to people living in/near Kraków. It doesn't mean it's standard Polish.
If you learn Polish a good teacher will tell you, you can't pronounce "trzeba" as "t-rzeba" it sounds "czeba" because "trz" correctly should be pronounce like "cz". Separating "t" and trying to say it (in this case, especialy when "t" is followed by "rz") will make word sounds unnatural. That's how it is and works.

Life / Polish Funeral, will there be repercussions if I don't attend? [8]
Hard to say really, it all depends on the family and their personal attitude. When my aunt died and my uncle (her cousin) didn't come to the funeral because he wasn't in the city at that moment my family felt a bit disgusted about his absence especially that they grew up together and were quite close to each other. Since you aren't the member of this family I don't think they may feel offended.
good remark

make sure that the family get a message of condolence from both you and your partner.

Food / NAME THIS FOOD PLEASE (Hungarian pastry / Zurek?) [9]
It's a funny thing about Polish cuisine - there is a couple of dishes which ale called like that:
placek węgierski
pierogi ruskie
barszcz ukraiński
gulasz angielski (type of tinned meat actually)
This potato pancake might have been called węgierski because it's served with some kind of goulash, which is definitely associated with Hungarian cuisine. Besides the food is also called "placek po węgiersku" which actually seems a more proper name, as it suggests it's an immitation of typical Hungarian food (which anyway doesn't apply to all cases e.g. karp po żydowsku has hardly anything to do with Jewish traditional food).
