Not only in Russian or Ukrainian cultures does alcohol play a role. In Polish too. The only alcohol that can be advertised in public places in Poland is beer. provided that at least 20% of the ad surface contains the info about harmful effects of drinking.

Beer ads are popular. On the other hand, anti booze ones not so much. I have found only one series of such ads directed at women.

Neither of them but you are close - sth in between. :)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]


Yes, indeed a comprehensive list as backto has noticed. Thank you, you get a point.


Yes, exactly.
Atch, you had doubts about it but let me tell you it is an obvious guess for a typical Pole, so whenever you see an obscure picture which looks like a portrait and there is a round shining object at the top and a smaller one beneath and you can`t discern features of the face because it is so dark, then it must be Black Madonna.


Yes, chronologically, Wanda is No 1. :)


Yes, exactly, the full painting below:

And a new riddle: What event does this painting show?

Yes and yes! He was sort of haunted with the scenes of German occupation.

Now, an unusual quiz. Name 4 or 5 possible Polish heroines of this painting. I don`t want you to guess correctly, we can do it at the end, but first try to recall all Polesses who died young and were sincerely mourned, either by family or by their peoples, both in history or legends. Who that person is isn`t important. Guess who she could be!

Because Atch and Chemikiem are the bestest! :):) They are real role models for other forum members.

One clue: it is enough to think logically, and you can find all the answers. :)


Yes, there are now - old and modern.


Yes, Messershmitt, but in Krakow. Sorry, gumishu was first .... but half a point for you, too:)

Now, can you recognise the Polish artist by his style and theme?

Let`s stick to the East, then. :):)
Russian culture - theatre, ballet, opera, choirs are known and appreciated in Poland. Once I saw bilboards which advertised 3 seperate events by Russian artists at a time. Moscow City Ballet performed last autumn and yesterday I saw new ads.

Yes, the artist was accused of spreading pornography, received insults and abuse from decent Krakowians :):) which led to his depression and a desperate knife attack on his masterpiece.

Such a plot is divided into two parts - building and farming. Building part is usually smaller.


Yes, but not bigger than 1 hectar unless you are a certified farmer. .

Hey, someone should start a thread about it.


Please, show some impartial intelligence instead of that narrow-minded nationalist bile. The poster is only a symbol of certain values, it doesn`t matter if there is one or many.


There are hate posters too.

Yes, beautiful! The charge of the Polish light cavalry was so incredible that immediately after it French officers started begging Poles who survived the attack to testify they also had taken part in it. :)

Exactly, displayed in Krakow. The gold coin on the floor is one of many used by Russian diplomats to bribe Polish aristocrats and szlachta to agree to the partition of Poland. Feking traitors! :):)


Yes,it is. Actually, it is a replica, so there are two exhibits like that in two seperate museums in certain city.

Nice pics but you should have done a bit of translation to them because without it, they are wasted on non-Poles.
To tell the truth, this thread wasn`t created for Poles, actually, who know perfectly the culture of their country, but mainly for foreigners who would like to learn sth new about Poland.

Travel / Which Poland's city is LGBT friendly? [43]


Yes. Parades are held in all major cities and medium ones join too despite difficulties. E..g, the mayor of Nowy Sącz blocked the parade this year.

But other cities and towns allow LGBT parades
e.g., Częstochowa.

It just occured to me I made a mistake - after being displayed in the street, they cease to be private. :)

Apart from new or old love, there is also unrequitted one. It seems a conflict is barging in again although I promised nice atmosphere - sigh.

Well, it is an interesting issue. You lived in GB where you attended that Polish school not to forget about Poland. And it gave wonderful effects, indeed. But you remembered it because you thought it was indispensable so that you wouldn`t lose your nationality. However, Poles who actually live in Poland meet such stuff every day anywhere and they don`t need to know/remember it all to feel truly Polish. They don`t fear becoming expats in their own country - they just pack their baskets and go to church, young and old, from 1 to 100, I took hundreds of pics of them. So, don`t blame Poles for not remembering such details as what horseradish represents. Which is better - learn the theory about Poland in a foreign school or actually put it in practice in Poland? :):)


Yes, feminine indeed. :)

The flag is exhibited in the AK Museum, while the horse in the National Museum, both in Krakow.

OOOkey, now I see I made it too difficult. Sorry. Let`s change it.

And let`s change the rules a little, too. First of all, provide the name of the city. If possible, also the museum and a short story/context of the exhibit:

No, the flag came into being in 1943. If you were able to find out where it is from, then it should be a piece of cake to learn where it is now. It is one of the most valuable items there. We are talking about the original.

OK, whether you are playing or not, let`s wait with this flag.

and another one:
and remember, we are still in Krakow
