Things to be afraid of in Poland?

WILDROVER- what is wrong with u two ******* wanted to have sex with u and all u did is run oway to the garden thats wrong u were drunk they were drunk who cares nobody remembers that

I think somebody is drunk , but it ain,t me....are you on drugs....?

u must be affriad from polsih girls hey r so sexy and beautiful

i have been to Krakow, ok only one part of Poland, however un like the myth they are not all sexy and hot!!!!! who came up with that anyway???

mother in laws

or even mothers in law... sometimes they may also be outlaws.

should be outlawed :)

Very little.

But I was afraid of quite a few things when I came 14 years ago. What, specifically?
1. driving a stick shift. I had not successfully learned how to do so in the USA.
2. learning a new language
3. having a baby in a hospital when I spoke only three Polish words--tak, nie, and woda. (thankfully it wasn't my first)
4. having things stolen...esp. money and our vehicle
5. the school system and trying to work through it while not speaking Polish
6. going into government offices or banks and trying to figure out the right words to say

Things I wasn't afraid of...
1. the people...drunks esp. don't scare me since the "really drunk ones" can't even stay on their feet--why would I be afraid of them? I could kick them hard and they'd topple.

2. the roads

Things that required a lot of courage/determination:
1. going to the bank the first time to make a withdrawal
2. pushing through bazaars when it grates against every fiber of your being to be so "rude"
3. looking an opinionated babcia in the face (I wasn't wearing a hat, my kids weren't in scarves, hats, coats, etc) and NOT replying in kind.

4. driving our van the first time, knowing it cost more than all our previous vehicles put together while at the same time knowing I didn't really know what the street signs meant nor was I very good at the gear shift! My foot trembled, I killed the thing in the middle of an intersection and went home without ever making it to the store I wanted to go to. Of course, the other vehicles honked at me, letting me know of their displeasure. Thankfully, it wasn't in Warsaw.

Things I was wise to be afraid of:
1. Having things stolen. We've been stolen from many, many times in 14 years, (most from our property) but if we weren't careful, it would be at least double that, I'm sure.

Keep a close eye on your money, don't wear your wallet in your back pocket and be alert. Think and act proactively.

Poland rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!

Be at a safe distance from drunk people on the road at night time...

Rest all is super here... :)

One suspects you've actually got little to compare it to

may be because I quoted in reference to city of £ódź ;)

Regards

Really?

No mention of Lodz on this thread for the last few days

Where exactly were you quoting from?

Best wishes

yes you have a point
may be because ppl from łódź are very few on PF

Regards ;)

LOL

I normally do. It's just that many people dont get them

Best wishes

You are right...

On this PF its strange the forum thread starts on some topic and moves like a
super sonic breeze of air towards some other topic..but still I love the movement ;)

In this country, sun comes from Noth to South. And women are all blonde with a big smile. They speak all a weird language that we can call polish.

They eat like chinese people. They sing like a mix of italian and russsian people.
And they hate to eat dogs and snake!

Strange world! isn't it!

really? :D ... wow! How come I didnt notice? All this time in Poland! And where are you from Sir?

Never-Never-Land?

oh... and the women.. they might be very beautiful, but if you inhale when they expect you to exhale... or even just blink too frequently then you're in big trouble!

or maybe that's just the ones I've been involved with?
