you cannot afford any mistakes if that will be a tattoo. why don't you just use memento mori? it looks and sounds much better in Latin than in Polish and everybody knows what that means.
i would say that it is his character, not Polish culture.
althought, Polish men abroad seem to be drunks and cheaters. not all of them, but many.
just take that job, change the place and try to be happy without him, the other good things will follow. don't waste your life, it is too short. i wish you all the best.
If a kid/person constantly has to say "no it's aleksandra, not alexandra" they may get sick of it.
what if the kid won't live in Canada? people have some weird names and are asked to spell them all the time... not only foreigners... how many spellings can there be of one name? many.
Good luck Warszawa. Gap ain't that good anymore. It used to have lower prices and nice clothes. But now, it's all about high prices and not interesting, plain designs. Yuck. Enjoy. :)
The Church of St. Adalbert or the Church of St. Wojciech (Polish: Kościół św. Wojciecha), located on the intersection of the Main Market Square and Grodzka Street in Old Town, Kraków, is one of the oldest stone churches in Poland. Its almost 1000-year-old history goes back to the beginning of the Polish Romanesque architecture of the early Middle Ages. Throughout the early history of Kraków the Church of St. Wojciech was a place of worship first visited by merchants travelling from across Europe. It was a place where citizens and nobility used to meet.
