Law / Refund bill- kaucja in Poland [5]

When you compose yourself and sound more coherent, perhaps you will get a more serious reaction :)

Law / Refund bill- kaucja in Poland [5]

Simple. They probably figured out that you are always drunk and as a result you will never be able to read law or exercise your rights.

Perhaps they did not know how it works in PL. Hot dishes are served well after midnight :)

Life / Do people not have "Christmas Dinners" or "Easter Dinners" in Poland ? [9]


It can be that, or a goose, as was the case this past X-mas. And no, somehow it was not an imported tradition. There was simply no one to import anything in my family.

It depends on the family I guess. We do organize such dinners and invite guests/family or let ourselves be invited.

Life / The unacceptable side of Polish culture [48]

I was in a similar situation in NYC, way back when. Except I was a Pole and reacted, they were Americans and did not. Go figure! Local precinct cops were my friends after that :)

Language / Quick question on Polish language fundamental [40]

Szłam do sklepu, gdy zaczął padać deszcz. - I was going (walking) to the store, when it started raining.
Poszłam do sklepu. - I went to the store (note, without other qualifiers this sentence may not be informative enough, eg. we can't know if you came back from the store)

Byłam w sklepie. - literally: I was at the store. However it actually implies the following: I went to the store and came back. (I am no longer there)

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


I hope not. It is a totally stupid idea. Paying forward like that brings neither joy nor consolation to anyone. No people in need were involved either.

Travel / New Years Eve in Warsaw (city sightseeing, restaurants) [21]

Yes. On plac Konstytucji. The fireworks will probably be there as well.

Very simple: convert to christianity! :-)

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]


Crap. We don't need your russian freedom/democracy. Russians like you simply do not know what those notions mean.

It was in Warsaw, on Pilsudski square. I would suspect it was after JP2 died, but don't know for certain.

Are you another 90-60-90 agent from Lubianka then ?-:)

Language / Polish/Ukrainian words similarities [209]

Vlad123, do you reside inside or outside of MKAD? Your anti-ukrainian attitude is abhorrent. You are a just a Moskal, and please admit it.

Language / Quick question on Polish language fundamental [40]

Pretty much it is so. But as I am a native speaker I should defer you to someone who has learned polish from scratch, they sometimes visit here and have a unique understanding of the process of acquiring the skill.

Law / Lviv born. Can Polish ancestry be claimed? [34]

And you obviously crave that....

Law / Lviv born. Can Polish ancestry be claimed? [34]


Not very consistent a heritage, but quite possible. However if she's orthodox or greek-catholic she is Ukrainian by origin as well. Anyhow, if none of her parents never held polish citizenship then chances now for her to get PL papers are totally slim.

Life / Why Radosław, not Czesław? [34]

Your another sure bet is Fukier, smack in the middle of Old Town (Old Town Square, in fact). If they cannot provide ambiance and good food I can't know who can... and certainly will set your boss back a few thous. as well. :)

News / March for Poland's democracy organized by PiS 13th Dec [49]

A totally sad event with so many confused people attending, organized by a guy who even wasn't interned on Dec 13, 1981, but now claims glory for himself.

News / How much Poland's economy grew up since 1989? [32]


Come to Poland Ironside and see for yourself. There aren't that many closed factories to my knowledge. And by the way, are you for example aware that one local company (polish owned to my knowledge) named PESA has recently signed a 5 billion PLN contract to supply trains to Deutsche Bahn over next to years.
