What makes Poland different from other countries

I didn't encounter too many rude people. No more than any other place. I get more rudeness in the US than anywhere in PL.

EXACTLY!!!


UGH! I hope Polish people keep their crap service because at least it's genuine, if a person needs pampering from complete strangers all the time then it's time to play "grow a set" and clean the sand out of their ovaries.

Poland as a place on the map (not as a free-willed entity), has a lot to offer but the big thing (and by this i mean monstrously big) is that if tourists are to be attracted here then the natural countryside forests and lakes need cleaning. Even the trees could do with a scrubbing in parts of southern Poland, but most of all the endless slew of litter needs collecting and proper reuse or disposal.

Foreigner. You make Poland sound horrible What are your thoughts on Lithuania?

Lithuania has in large a slightly lower standard of high end services available but living standards, food, recreation are as good as and sometimes better than that in Poland (in my experience)

The people are generally nicer and more helpful as well...true Lithuanians anyway. The Russian population there is hit and miss...some are nice but some are typically Russian (though the way they are treated by many Lithuanians I don't blame them for being a bit grumpy.

There is a large segment of Lithuanians that don't like Poles at all...goes back generations. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad I did not say MOST I said a "large segment".

If have obligations in PL so I am here for now, but if I had the choice between the two LT would be my pick.

You said it ! That is all I have to say ..

no. you've interpreted what i've said as something horrible. I think it's great the way it is but of course, since tourism came up, I mentioned the one blight that i feel keeps tourists at bay by word of mouth alone.

Lithuania? the thread isn't really meant to be about that, now is it?

hAha that does not sound very good, Foreigner :) But it does sound funny! lol

haha i just got it:)

*shakes head in dismay at own words

What makes Poland different from other countries?

Polish people and their culture.

At Least Polish have culture. The US has no culture. Nothing but lost muts rapping to the beat of someone down the street!

uh......huh?

Seanus, maluch is a small and cheap in use car. Also its old and to be honestly here in Wroclaw there are not so much of them, actually they are quite rare. Maluch (Fiat 126P) is a part of polish history. Many of my foreig freinds like that ugly, small crap ;). Its not so bad with it.

It has been said, but people, is that you may concentrate on. Ask any polish about something in poland. We just talk, and talk and talk, and we're very happy that you ask, we think it is very nice that somebody is intrested in our habits, culture, food, music etc. etc.

We're also very proud of our history, it doesn't mean that we totally live of our old times, but we take it as a important part. Next thing is food and beer. There are few typical polish things-that-you-must-try while visiting my country. Beer? We love beer, although most of our beers is just a regular pils (porter is not so popular). Hm.. girls. We think that polish girls are the most beautyful, which is actually 100% truth. No joke ;).

And mental things: when we smile, we mean it. When we angry or sad, or just unhappy it is obviuos of our face. We love football (soccer). One year ago (when our national football team wasn't so goos as now) most of fans was saying that we really suck at football, but anyway we've been watching every game with so much certainty to win. Even when we're winning with weak opponent, we're happy as it was brasil. And on every champion we hope that we'll be the best. And as usuall we're very far from it. So what? ;)

yes we complain. And we're watching movies with lector on tv (one voice on every chracter). We're watching our favoiruite films for a hundert times, especialy when this are polish comedies.

My dutch friend has a another stuff in the subject: its phenomen that in this country (poland) that almost every young university student works in totally diferent place then his education (then he put on his theory my example and other few mates). And that might be truth ;). I'm manager in sport store, i work with tourist and recreation student, sociology, administration and there are two girls from university of technology (physics and engineering). And im studying political science. Nice mix, istn't it?

Sorry for my english, and good luck.

Hmmm well poland's military is pathetic for one! They seem to be very arrogant even though they live in a 2nd world country. Its gross and cold there so it might be okay for skiing although im sure Apsen is much better. Apparently they major in "graphic design" (basket weaving on the computer) and go online to ask other people to mastermind their projects for them! So hows that "graphic design" career lookin? If your polish why bother and just go ask ur family?

I stopped reading right here...

R.M, tell me, does going on here and being the biggest ignorant twat possible make you sleep better at night?

Hmm...

Arrogance....check

2nd world....check

Gross....matter of opinion

Cold.....check

What exactly wads your panties here? Facts?

Eee.. have you seen at least one Góraleczka (Polish female highlander) in Aspen? :) No. Take a train to Zakopane. Its lovely even in summer time.

No Filios i have mania! I don't sleep at night actually. I used 2 before i quit taking the zombie meds my psychiatrist prescribed. Sleep is for the weak anyways! Many famous and powerful characters had symptoms typical of mania. Its kind of a gift academically unless it gets bad and u start having dellusions or paranoia. I have weed to avoid anything that severe though. Anything else u'd like to know?

Again, this thread could branch out

wow...this thread is 1.5 yrs old

What makes Poland different from other countries?

The size and flavor of the kielbasa.

I am eating it right now from Bobaks in Chicago

lol but we surely come accross as some serious folk.

By the time you read this, you will have finished, but I hope it went down well!

The translucent windows on toilet doors, just to give the pervs half a chance. Come on people, if u r gonna put glass onto toilet doors, make it opaque

Or at least make it electronic glass where one can flip the switch at their own discetion.
