The strangest things in Poland

My grandfather used to send my sister and me to the store to get him some beer when we were 8/9. Good times :)

Three words: colored toilet paper.

I've never seen that! What colours?
The only ones I saw were the sandpapery ones :( ouch

Red - with a fresh strawberry scent.

Oh, why they have yellow, pink, green, blue, grey (must be the sanpapery one ;) )--and some even come in swirly patterns, flower patterns, sunshine patterns... You're missing out! ;)

Yeah obviously I am! I'm jealous :(

*Peoples constant staring.Whats with that??
*People letting their dogs poop anywhere!!
*Driving.... what rules actually apply in Krakow ... Scarey!!
*People smoking in the main shops in cafes and restaurants...Ban that crap!
*Overly very well dressed people.sorrrrry.. im used to shorts, shirt and thongs...maybe jeans in winter and jumper.they looked like they stepped out of a magazine freshly done.

Hey i loved the place... i have to make sure i bring more clothes though... i felt under done...

That`s really bad, especially in the winter when all windows and doors are closed! Not nice!

Yeah ban people drinking alcohol.

A lot of spanish apartments have the washing machine in the bathroom.


You might get arrested if you go out looking like that.


It's called not being lazy about ones appearance...


If you dont like it, dont go in...It's really that simple.


and next it could be breathing??

Nothing too unusual about the washing machine in the bathroom - it does kinda make sense afterall

Shower in the kitchen on the other hand takes some getting used to...

You know who you are ;)

Not being allowed to wear thongs hahaahaha..........what the... your kidding??? why do people worry about what you wear on your feet????? i would love to see what they wear when they are going to a restaurant or wedding.. they looked over dressed for the shops thats all.

selling shoestrings on the street. I wonder how much profit is in it? Maybe I am in the wrong business

you are allowed to wear thongs, however wearing nothing but shirt and thongs in the middle of the street would surely draw some attention (except near the seaside/lakeside in the summer).

would thongs mean Flip flops here? If not Im gettin a rather nasty Borat visual.......

thats a g string................ thongs are shoes on ya feet.......... Hahahahahah. bloody hell i dont think i would mean wearing your knickers on the street.... sheeeeeez.

That's what happens unless It's made of plastic.

not in the UK halcyonblue.co.uk

Flip flops or toe posts are what you wear on your feet

I thought about one more: Glass window on the bathroom door. What`s that for?

Amen G.

Eating vegatables for breakfast.
Or when people eat that really soft cheese with jam on bread. Its even worse when they seem to get most of the creaminess around their mouth and leave it there whilst talking to you.

Sometimes when I eat sandwiches for breakfast they have vegetables on them (ie tomato, cucumber, lettuce). How is that weird?
Its no more weird than cheesecake flavoured yogurt (which I had in the UK)...


Thongs are also referred to as butt floss! I got the same gross visual as the others lol!


Making it easy to be a peeping tom?

Tomato is a fruit !

But I agree eating veggies at breakfast is not weird. There are lots of different things people all over the World eat for breakfast. It's just usually the British who think we should all eat like they do, otherwise it has to be 'strange' if we don't !

Its a cultural preference. To me sweetcorn and peas in mayonaise first thing in the morning is a stomach turner.


Correct. This is how it is most places in te world I imagine.
If I went to Poland and had curry for breakfast people wouldnt think that somewhat unusual? Or is it that Poles are just so easygoing about individual choices compared to Brits that they wouldnt even notice?

Agree with you there 100%. If my mom made the following for breakfast, I would probably throw up. (the eggs and toast are okay, but the rest of it? bleh.



ie, in Poland if you ate beans on top of fried bread and sausages for breakfast, people would also ridicule. It definitely is a cultural thing.

"The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Even though not many people will eat this for breakfast today, it is always served in hotels and guest houses around Britain."

The first time I came to England I couldn`t believe their breakfast, it`s much stranger than the polish one! Both are tasty though :)

I had a bout of arrhythmia just from looking at this pic...

Looks like someone puked all over the bread.
My dog wouldn't even eat those greasy sausages. Lol.

Its called scrambled egg and is very popular in many parts of the world.

We know the term, but that blob on the bread doesn't look like it. It's kinda too pale for a real egg.
