Is Poland worth visiting?

Oh heck yeah! Especially, if you have a great majority of your relatives living in Poland, like I do.

why do frustrated men ask silly questions about polish women or girls

I've received PM's from different guys in the past. They were seeking relationship advice, pertaining to Polish women who they've dated. Shortly after, most of the guys ended up trying to hit on me.

News / Poland in the 'brave new world'? [10]

English will become a minority language in the US, outnumbered by Spanish

It's already pretty much the trend, in many parts of Southern California.

Australia / Moving back to Poland after 30 years in Australia. [4]

Moving back to Poland after 30 years in Australia

A relative of mine has a similar situation. He now lives in Sydney. If he decides to retire in Poland some day, he probably won't have the opportunity to visit his two adult daughters very often. His daughters left Poland, when they were both very young. Neither of them intend to leave Australia and relocate in Poland.

Food / Polish fast food joints? [59]

Do the McDonald's fast food restaurants in Poland have Shamrock Shakes?

Not sure if they have Shamrock shakes. The golden arches in Warsaw has most of the same junk we have in the states. Took this pic during the month of August.

Life / Anyone else suffering from mosquito bites in Poland? [52]

mosquito bites in Poland?

Omg, this subject is something I'm very familiar with. Last summer in Lublin, I was nearly bitten to death by all the damn mosquitos. The bites were some of the worst ones, I've ever experienced in entire my life. You could easily play connect the dots, with all the lovely bite marks I had on my body; especially on my legs :(

USA, Canada / What should I bring back from the U.S. to Poland? [46]

How about a Stratocaster..

I was going to suggest designer handbags for female friends or relatives. I think Piotr's idea is much better. I wouldn't mind owning at least a dozen Fender guitars myself. Btw, the fabulous Fender Guitar Museum in Corona, California is located merely 15 miles from my home ;)

Life / Woman on Wigilia spells bad luck in Poland [6]

if the first person to visit your home on Chrsitmas Eve is a woman, that means bad luck in the year ahead.

A frozen then burst pipe in Poland - what to do

First cry, then call an expert repairman. That's what I did earlier this week. My ceiling had sprung a few leaks. Due to an over abundance of rainfall, courtesy of mother nature ;(

Life / Santa Must be Polish - by Bobby Vinton [5]

Here is a snappy little tune by Bobby Vinton

Thanks for sharing the cute little song & video :)

I'm curious what Poles and Polish Americans think about Bobby Vinton

Funny thing my mom told me... My dad used to dislike Bobby Vinton, until he found out he's Polish!
I personally think the Polish Prince is great.

Off-Topic / I thought my house had ghosts, but according to a paranormal psychic it is hovering demon [30]

I found out that the house does not have to be old, ghosts can come around from antique items like pieces of furniture, which we have tons of.

My home over is 100 years old, busting from the seam with gazillion antiques. Never felt the present of any ghosts in my house. However, many of the homes in my neighborhood are supposedly haunted.

How you done any research, to verify if any former buildings or dwellings existed previously, on your current home property? Possibly these places may be sources of the strange activity...
