Travel / Driving from Poznan to Croatia. Best way? [23]

Way too many tourists with the cruise ships. Hiring a car would've definitely been your best bet. I'd rather spend most of my time in Montenegro. Much nicer IMO.

Life / The Polish Hand Shake. [29]


Well, I wouldn't go this far...little men have little hands to match. I'm not the tallest, but fear my kung-fu grip :)

Life / The Polish Hand Shake. [29]


Because most men like a firm handshake and not a limp wrist.

Love / In your opinion, are most Polish women 'Easy'? [243]

This topic is rediculous. I know American women like this...and I'm sure there are many British, Aussie and Italian women just as easy. Have you evern seen American women abroad or on an exotic island somewhere? C'mon. If you knew anything about women in general, you'd know that some are easy and some are not.

USA, Canada / VISA TRAVEL TO USA [32]


Like Krysia said, his chances will be better if he has "strong ties" to Poland. Chances even bigger if he own's property or is still a student. He doesn't have to be rich, but have some money in a bank account. My GF got one after 2 tries...and it didn't cost loads of money. Good luck!!

Language / Can anyone help with spelling of Grandmother [53]


It depends on where you're from. Maybe in Boston MAss or sth, but in NY we say Bob with an o.

I have a book that my PL class gave me and it has Busia as the Grandmother. My teacher says it may be because the PL was Americanised. In PL I've never heard anyone refer to a grandmother like this, but I haven't lived there for a long period of time, so what do I know :) I usually hear babcia or a variation of that. Jaja for grandfather? lol...papy balls :)

Don't be jealous, just go!! :P

USA, Canada / Why are the tickets to Poland from the US so expensive? [7]

It's expensive everywhere you look. I'm also in Bergen county and used a travel agency. I just paid $1,300. it's a seasonal thing. Go in the dead of winter and you can get a ticket for 7-800. You also have to think about the price of fuel. Good luck searching.

Back in NJ. This was the best trip ever!!

I appreciate everyones help. Now, back to work :(

Travel / planned itinerary: wroclaw, krakow, torun, gdansk, etc- any suggestions?? [11]

If you're in Krakow, you might as well see Wieliczka salt mines. Awesome!!

Travel / How Can I Not be the "Ugly American" Tourist in Poland? [97]

I won't argue that we can be loud sometimes, but some of us know how to act. We have far too many people here for me to speak on behalf of. I can say that in NYC the British are constantly being jailed for acting like jacka*ses, but I know there are proper British tourists as well. Some people shouldn't be able to leave their home country ;)

I've run into quite a few Americans in PL acting a fool, so I understand what you're saying. I'm just happy I'm not one of them :)

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]

Word.

In the states, he's either really nice or loaded with dough. Especially where I live.

Maybe Malbork? I'm not sure your feelings on Castles, but this is an enormous pile of bricks and worth seeing IMO.

I was just trying to prove sth, but thank you ;) Shell/Krysia ;) *Morning blushes

I think we all have the same reaction when we see someone ugly with someone attractive. The truth is, some people have had relationships with good looking people and doesn't always work out, so maybe it doesn't matter after that as long as they treat you well. It can also be that one of them is loaded ($).

But, who really cares about other couples?

Travel / How Can I Not be the "Ugly American" Tourist in Poland? [97]


:) well, was there a hotdog eating contest? We do have lot's of these events. Never know. Some people love the USA I guess.... You'll never catch me in sth like that.

If I saw this, I would've had to say sth.

Love / Polish women are known for their beauty, but men are so ugly (most of).. [250]


I'm ugly and my gf is beautiful. What of it? Can't someone be loved for being a good person?


You must be from Manchester Miss ;)

15 all with the same USA shirt? Either that was a sports team or you're blowing smoke up our tooters :)

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

I'd love to visit one of these days. Slowly but surely I'm making my way around Europe :)

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

It's ok, thanks for that :) It's all interesting material and I'm still in the process of seeing how far I can go back with my genealogy research.

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

He didn't say his nationality is American. He was quoting someone else, but used P.S (post script) instead.

...i've fixed.

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

Because you're so concerned with saying "my country" and keeping identity, so I was curious if you live there. That's all, no need to be defensive.

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

I believe he meant to quote mafketis. Smarta*s :P

Genealogy / Pole: What is your nationality? I am eurounian.... [30]

I am Native American with English and Ukranian ancestry. I will never lose my Native heritage.

Yanek. Where do you reside? You state you're Polish, but do you live in Poland?

Language / about "ale lala" phrase [35]


eggs, but Lalką is a doll. ...lala for short ;)

UK, Ireland / Survey on life in the UK, Sweden and Ireland [35]

Good luck with your survey. You are British right? I think the sad excuse for a boy thinks you're from Poland. I'll apologise for him...he doesn't know better.

UK, Ireland / interesting documentary on impact to british jobs [10]

Don't you have anything else to talk about?

Ho hum. Really, get over it. You must live a depressing miserable life constantly thinking about these things that you will never change. I feel bad for you.
