Travel / Health Insurance in Poland for EU citizens for a travel trip? [7]
I don't know how it works this way but when I visited Germany I went to local NFZ and applied for european health card.I didn't need to-if I had to use medical help without that card I would probably had to pay then take all documents and go to NFZ and ask them to pay me back-it's longer and annyoing.I applied for the card(one day affair in Rybnik) but I never had to use it.

Wydaje się,że takie zachowanie było dosyć częste,zwlaszcza w dawniejszych czasach.Zresztą w mojej rodzinie też polski kuleje-moje kuzynki wyjechały do Niemiec jako dziewczynki,ale mówiły po polsku(młodsza z pewnymi problemami),ale nie uczą swoich dzieci języka.Najstarsza córka jeszcze rozumie dość dużo po polsku,ale młodsze dzieci bedą znały tylko pojedyncze słowa.Szkoda.I nie chodzi tu nawet o to,że nie znają POLSKIEGO :),ale o to,że każdy dodatkowy język to świetna szansa.

Po polsku / Dlaczego uczysz się Polskiego? [101]
Dopóki to był tylko angielski dawałam sobie radę,ale po rosyjskim?Czasami mam wrażenie,że uczenie się jezyków obcych,w moim przypadku,żle wpływa na moją znajomość języka ojczystego.Najgorsza noc?Położyłam się do łóżka i jak zwykle zaczełam wyobrażać sobie różne rzeczy.Po polsku.Potem przerzuciłam się na angielski-jeszcze było w porządku,ale potem...znowu się przerzuciłam-tym razem na rosyjski...i bum-blokada.Wybudziłam się,bo nie mogłam śnić w języku,którego zaczęłam się uczyć 2 miesiące wcześniej.Nie spałam pół nocy,bo za słabo znałam rosyjski. :D
A ja mam nawet czasem tak, że nie potrafię znaleźć polskiego odpowiednika dla angielskiego słowa.

And didn`t Domogarov/Bogun received only brief characteristics from side of Helena as ``A Terrible guy``?..

You have every right to feel sad if you want to.
I don't like Sienkiewicz to much but I like this movie (Domagarow,mmmmmmmmm :D).And even if I wouldn't like it-it's a part of Polish culture.
Seriously?I would like to see that movie.I would laugh so hard
Sorry, but Polish cinema and entire modern culture makes me sad
You have every right to feel sad if you want to.
Yes, but what is a sense to make movies after the novel of Sienkiewicz which is itself no more than
long,boring,racist eyewash of little historical accuracy?

cooperate on some advanced task.For example space colonization in the future.

First:Some dumb idiots wanted to fight and found excuse to do so.
Second-Maybe Figuski meant it as a joke but it turned out horribly and he should ackowledge it and very sincerly say that he's sorry.
Probably that was the point
It's Sienkiewicz book so in that time ppl probably thoght that they were our enemies.
I would be glad to know mind of Poles on the following events:
First:Some dumb idiots wanted to fight and found excuse to do so.
Second-Maybe Figuski meant it as a joke but it turned out horribly and he should ackowledge it and very sincerly say that he's sorry.
Few years ago I saw such Polish movies as ``Battle of Warsaw 1920`` (Bitwa Warszawska 1920)
in which `Russian`` soldiers are pictures as a typical ``Untermensch``
As I`ve understood from this move the largest crime of ``bolsheviks`` was their intention to redistribute the land
from the rich to the poor.Probably in Polish eyes this is a totally unforgivable sin.

f stop: I know of two different couples, friends of the family, that went back to Poland for retirement, and both came back to US within few years.
I know a lady who went back to Poland after over thirty years in the US and now she's crying and wants to go back to the States.

What would happen to Poles if USSR would loose WWII to Hitler and Poland would be under Nazies rule?

I like Russians and Ukrainians (in my imagination that is, since I don't really know any) and as to the language...
Not one of my friends can understand a Russian sentence.Before I started to learn Russian I could only hear single words but after I learnt a thing or two Russian vocabulary was quite easy.The thing is that you have to learn some rules and then it's like opening the door-suddenly you see all the similarities.I have to disappoint you Vlad -most Poles don't understand Russian and Czech or Slovakian would be much more legible to them.
Incarnation of Crow :D
P.S.Vlad pls don't say that we were saved by Soviet Union in WWII.We were stabbed in the back is more like it.

2-ppl who ignore the reality and pay attention only to the things they think are right.

I was a student when PiS ruled and belive me-the vaaaaaaaaast majority of young ppl were repulsed by the actions of government.It may be hard for you to acknowledge but either you like it or not young ppl are going to choose.

I know there's very little possibility but...I still have nightmares after the first time :)
You can vote wherever you want.Take a certificate from the place where you're registered and you can do what you want.
PiS would need to get at least 45% of the vote to form a government (as they cannot form a coalition). They won't get more than 30%, probably less as they'll lose voters to SP
I know there's very little possibility but...I still have nightmares after the first time :)
Personally, I'd hope for the ability to vote wherever you like - all it would take would be the use of a computer to register the PESEL number of the voter and the number of their identity document. You have to show ID when voting anyway, so it wouldn't be a hardship to maintain a list of who exactly has voted so far that day.
