Life / Winter in Poland? [160]

You'll need shoes for when the sidewalks and streets are icy. If you're not used to it then it can be a big adjustment.

Believe it or not, but Poles do wear shoes! Every day! Cold or warm! Yes, I know, it's surprising.
If you're not used to wearing shoes, well, I wish you good luck and all the best. You just have to adjust.

Study / An electrical engineering student from Turkey wants to study in Poland [17]

Golabki

Do you have dolma in mind? It's with grape leaves.

gerkhins

Cacik & mizeria?

kopytki

How come?

but above all surowka with nearly every main meal.

Very true. Turks add lemon to everything. Even to a chicken soup! LOL
Polish food is more bland, while Turkish is more tasty.

History / If Poland didn't exist, how did citizens become Polish? [57]

I think Poles didn't want to let go of their Polish nationality, Polish sentiment and roots, because their country was taken away from them. You need to believe in who you really are, otherwise you'll extinct.

History / Trying to learn more about Warsaw University in 1968, specifically the Math Dept [3]

There were student demonstrations around the country.
Read here in Polish.

# 8 marca w obronie relegowanych z uczelni Adama Michnika oraz Henryka Szlajfera został zwołany wiec protestacyjny. Odbywająca się na dziedzińcu Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego studencka manifestacja została brutalnie rozpędzona przez tzw. aktyw robotniczy oraz Batalion Operacyjny z Golędzinowa przypominający późniejsze ZOMO.

# 9-23 marca wiece studentów na Politechnice Warszawskiej oraz wiec na Uniwersytecie Warszawskim w Auditorium Maximum; strajk okupacyjny na Politechnice Warszawskiej od 21 marca) wspierany przez ludność Warszawy.

News / Lech Kaczyński statue in Warsaw? [66]

Agree? Disagree? No opinion?

Maybe they should build something like a statue of Lenin in Krakow once was.

USA, Canada / What are the odds of my girlfriend getting a USA tourist visa? [70]

I broke up with her because of this. But in a way I can see why, she was lonely. We've been doing this for a year, it's just been too much now. As matter of fact, i cheated on her once too and never told her.

Now, that's a solid ground to build a happy relationship on. LOL

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

During the time I was in school, 1978-1985, very, very few pets. I always thought Poles were pet-haters.

Why do you think this change?

It was a tough period in the Polish history.
Now, Poles have as many pets as before, but the difference is that they don't eat them anymore.

USA, Canada / Not everyone that lives or comes from America is RICH! [300]

But it will end soon. And what America will do then? Finish ward in the Middle East, and move to Africa to "help". It will start from "helping" Egyptians.

Love / Do some Polish women prefer older men for money? [57]

Most Polish Woman want a older man for money

Men insist they do not understand woman's mind, yet they are so sure it's all about money.
Make up your mind, because it only proves man's little thinking capabilities.
