News / Giant Jesus Rising in Świebodzin ( Tallest in world ) [323]

World's largest Jesus and soon World's largest statue period. (Crazy Horse in US)....I think its great, Poland leaving its mark

News / Praising Poland can be dangerous [45]

I think its just Polish nature to have a whinge about the govt. regardless of how good it is, ull always find someone who dsnt like this or that. As for the other things Poles still do have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder's (rightly so) regarding modern history and thus are suspicious and pedantic of most historical/geographical discussions.

Life / Poznan or Wroclaw - which city is more foreigner-friendly? [18]


Would Poles consider Lwow or Wilno to be more attractive cities then Poznan or Wroclaw?

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]


Are you dating her at the moment or trying to ask her out?.....anyway remember Polish men are considered very gallant and chivalrous, so add that to ur flirtations (but dnt over do it)

Law / Starting a catering business - South African Style. Dealing with the restrictions... [13]


maybe opening a business with South African goods instead, like biltong for example....Poles like their meats like kielbasa and kabanoska ect. if they tasted biltong they would be hooked......anyway best of luck w/ that. I cnt think of a better culture or people which I would want to influence Poland in any way (although im a little bias because I lived there once;)

Travel / Insights about winter in Poland. Polish winter during holidays as charming as spring? [21]

I'll be staying in the Polish Highlands, so I could probably jst ski in my backyard, like I did when I was a kid. And there is a ridiculous amount of ski resorts there, maybe not to the standards of Austrian Alps, but respectful.

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]


Poland is the most homogeneous nation in europe....as a result of this, naturally, the culture and traditions place more emphasis on staying w/ ones own.......going against the grain in most cases is seen as a bit taboo.......but anyway thats my interpretation.

Travel / Insights about winter in Poland. Polish winter during holidays as charming as spring? [21]

Thanks a lot guys this is great....


Im going to be staying mainly in Podhale near Zakopane. Although I will be hoping to visit Krakow


ahaha thats good to hear cause I was thinking of going skiing.


hmm yea i thought that might be the case..... Add to that the sensation of driving on the wrong side of the road ahhh........Is taking public transport considered safer, like a bus or something?

Love / Being Taken For A Idiot by my Polish girlfriend? [37]

Dnt play along w/ her, if she starts ignoring you, u do the same, more deliberately. She'll probably realize she's not getting the reaction she wants and will go back to being nice to get your attention.

News / WHY IS POLAND STILL GIVEN THE COLD SHOULDER? [197]


You have to realize that Polish history from a western perspective is simply inconvenient. They dnt want to be reminded that they betrayed Poland on numerous occasions during WW2 and prolonged the war by 5 years. Thus Polish success is hardly mentioned if at all. I remember in my history class (i live in Australia) I constantly had to interrupt the teacher stand up for the truth. all they taught us is how great the French resistance was, I had had to remind them that Poland in fact had the greatest and largest resistance in WW2 and the only occupied country without any collaboratory groups of ppl. Poland to them was jst some backward unlucky country who couldn't stand up for herself. You wnt here about the betrayals, you wnt hear about our brave and most successful pilots in the battle of Britain, you wnt hear that the Polish took the mount in mounte casino and you certainly wnt here that we werent even invited to the victory parade!!

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

Poland needs a young energetic politician to lead it, not old commies who think of the past too much and are corrupted, maybe Wojciech Olejniczak? just a suggestion[/quote]

Yeah I agree, although I haven't heard of Olejniczak to be honest, he sounds promising though. Im sure he would make a better opposition then Kaczynski thats for sure.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


No I dnt. But not my choice!!......I jst finished school, so i dnt much options, im studying full time atm and have apart time job as well for the sole purpose of earning enough so i can visit Poland one more time.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


I thought you would have guessed by my opposition towards having Kaczynski buried at wawel...anyway Polish culture and history are a great passion of mine. Its good to hear ur a Polish patriot as well

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

Thanks for that analysis..... As long as he doesn't get elected we can all breath a sigh of relief, I agree it really is a pity their isn't a respectable opposition. Thankfully from my perspective we have a good government.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

Im from Poland. And its a Polish custom to have our heros and our greats laid to rest in wawel. Not nobodies.................also it was meant as a joke, dnt take it so seriously

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

Bolle
Wawel is a large place, you do after all need a place to take a seat and rest while touring. I think his grave will be ideal for that, because it has no other use in Wawel.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


well its good to hear the media hold him to account for what he says. However I have to question ur sympathy for him. The man brings it on himself. After the death of his brother there was plenty of sympathy for him, and respect. Its a fair effort on his behalf to change all that

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


This is not politicaly motivated. I dnt live in Poland and only recently took up an interest in Polish politics, and this is an objective unbiased view. I am seriously concerned, I mean surly you people can see the the guy is not mentally stable!

If Polish people consider Kaczynski's rants as credible politics, then i am very disappointed embarrassed.
