Language / SEXUAL AND PASSIONATE WORDS IN POLISH [41]

Enough of horsing around, let’s help the lad.

I only need to know what is Polish for... my scuba suit is full of rice pudding...lets have sex...

Mrs. H says that is too perverted for a Polish girl to say and that it sounds like a cross dressing English guy would say in a tranny bar.

Language / SEXUAL AND PASSIONATE WORDS IN POLISH [41]

On a few occasions, my wife has screamed out the word "Jasiek!, Jasiek! oh Jasiek!"

I think that's Polish for deeper.

USA, Canada / Chicago's 1.1 million Polish Americans celebrated Constitution Day [47]

Something is wrong with the Europeans on this site,,, Im thinking Jealousy??

I would modify that to include the word some before Europeans. There are some here who did/do/would appreciate that kind of post / thread / perspective. And then there is the crew that wouldn't. Too bad really.

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

Sounds like southern and isthatu2 switched accounts there for a minute...
:-)

Ok, what's the best place to rent a van to move 6 people in Warsaw? Want to carpool potentially, save on gas, share driving etc... Am worried about getting across different borders / specific country restrictions etc...

OK, we decided on and booked a central location, just outside of Trogir. We will do a day/night trip down to Dubrovnik, so maybe El Croata could buy me a beer!! Just not sure which date yet.

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

but I can give you some websites:

Thanks! I checked them out. Looks like they are filling up fast...

I don't know why Americans always thinking that someone wants to robbed them!!!

Actually, my wife said the part about higher prices for North Americans... :-)

amazing is cable car from place

I saw it on youtube! Looks amazing.

I hope that I help you little bit.

For sure! We have a lot of googling to do...

Well the itinerary is firming up. Looks like Warsaw to Wroclaw. Spend a day in Wroclaw, and then move on to Prague for a couple of days, then on to Budapest. Final stop, Croatia.

I put my bet on the few acres of Czekoslovakia

You are probably right. And he will get lots of "back up" with his statement, I am sure.

Come on Dariusz. You know the answer will be "no, they were all a bunch of scam artists selling fake passports out of the boot of their car"

Love / POLISH GIRLS... wake up and prove you are respectable.... [135]

when i see my girlfriends wearing ugly clothes, showing off their bodies (as if there was something nice to show),

So why do you hang around with girls who have ugly clothes and poor bodies? Surely, a goddess like yourself should have higher standards.....

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

I don't know what to say for Budapest, Vienna or Prague.
All three are masterpiece of world heritage and each of them has earned from tourism more than Croatia.

The main purposes of the trip are to A) spend some time with my wife's brother and wife, who we will be travelling with, B) Spend some time with the kids at the beach, C) visit some friends (south of Zagreb) who moved back to Croatia last year and D) see a different side of Europe. The weather and the fine beer (do they still make Karlovacko beer??) are just a side benefit! Stopping in one of those three cities would just be a pass through and an extra bonus, and a break from the drive.

I'm living in Dubrovnik and if you want to know something about Dubrovnik you can ask me what you want!!

What's the best way to find a decent villa that sleeps six for about a week and a half? I looked at some websites, but have a feeling that a North American reservation would cost a lot more than one made from within Europe. I am thinking about my brother in law making the reservation from Poland, or our friend from Croatia. Problem is, they don't know we are coming yet...

If you have a top 5 list of things that would entertain kids, and adults, cultural activities, scenic highlights or other personal recommendations, that would be great!

Thanks,

Shawn

Vienna is very nice, especially parks are amazing. You will need about four days there. Prague is beautiful, give it at least two days. I've never been to Budapest yet.

Can only spend a max of two days in any city... Thanks!

Oldest spawn has a thing for Budapest.....

Life / Did you already bless your Święconka? [31]

Wow, never heard of it while it is quite a big town!

Really just an extension of Toronto..... Completely connected in the east from Pickering, Oshawa, Scarborough, Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Burlington, Oakville and Hamilton... One big smear of civilization....

And home to lots of Polish People.

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

So the family will be making the trip to Poland for the summer, and we want to visit some friends in Croatia, and spend some time on the Adriatic coast....

The question is, which way to go?

Would it be better to travel from Warszawa through Budapest, Vienna or Prague, and why?

Chances are, we won't be travelling the southern parts of Europe for many years to come. So, what, in your opinion would be the best city to see on the way south?

I will be flying out of Zagreb on the way back, so I can only take the top recommendation.

Thanks for your input, and sorry Crow, I don't think a side trip to Sarajevo is in the cards :-(

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

I have a set of playing cards with naked men on them

SEXIST!!!!

so that should keep me busy for a while

Care to elaborate???

an old lap top, whose history I will not reveal - not yet anyways. He was keeping himself busy making figurines from soap.

Are you sure that is soap residue on the keyboard?

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

you are right, I keep forgetting about that, however I live in a 400 000 city at the moment. I am glad that the weather is springy in your neck of the woods:).

The youngest wore her vest and a light sweater for the trip to the orthodontist. Bloody marvelous weather! Soon the urban eye-candy will be at their best!

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

This egg is a very serious matter at the moment.

Put a webcam on it!!!!

this is what is different about Poland in comparison to Canada - the air has a smell - at the moment it smells if coming spring

Having lived in down town, you never would have smelled it. Here in Mississauga, I have smelled the spring. It is going to be a glorious weekend (maybe a passing shower this afternoon).
