Travel / Which way from Poland to Croatia.... [30]

ShawnH:I will let you know as the dates get closer, and the plans firmer...

Monday or Tuesday looks like a nice day to tour Dubrovnik...
Found our way to Croatia ok. Weather is hot and sunny, but sadly, since Dubrovnik is so far away from venisce, I won't make it to there this time.....

So what is the best place in the rynek to enjoy a beer on a Sunday afternoon, and what qualities make it the best?

I would expect that the food be decent as well...

What is the purpose of that cage on a university building?

I think it used to be a storage point for paint. Until the vandals got into it.

The gates of a lock system allowing the passage of boats around waterways that change in elevation that are too shallow to pass? Looks unused based on the flotsam and jetsam accuommulated in front of the gates. Looks like a domicile for gołombki.

Feedback / PolishForums Motto? :) [149]

Motto: A short sentence or phrase chosen as encapsulating the beliefs or ideals guiding an individual, family, or institution.

PF: Tolerating the Intolerable.

And this applies on so many levels, whether it is bashing (insert your not-so-favourite race, religion, gender, sexual orientation here), personal attacks, spamming, trolling or outright flaming.

As Rodney King once said: People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along ?

It is a miniature replica of the 18 century organ which got burnt in 1974. Now St. Elizabeth`s church in Wrocław is collecting money to rebuild it.

Are they plastic Poles in the bottom pictures?

UK, Ireland / What do you hate about England and English people? [142]

Shakespear.

Because they make some really good beer.

Also, they make us use too many letters that confuses my spell checking. Like neighbour, labour, cheque, just to name a few.

Language / Unique names of cities/town/villages in Poland [58]

Where was this information in your post below?

It wasn't.

How is one supposed to know the meaning if you just post the name in Native American language providing no explanation?

You are right. Please forgive me.

Yes!!! With obvious meaning!!!

Well it would be obvious if you were of Native American descent! Walla Walla translates as Place of Many Waters!

Wawa can be translated as Wild Goose in Ojibway..
