News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

To JohnP: So you're American with Polish background? Pleased to meet you, Mr Kowalski (pron: ko-walls-key).
Some chick asked me if people have to walk around in snowshoes.
In India, few people heard of Poland, only Holland. When I sent someone in India a letter from "Poh Land with a p, not Holland with an H", a reply (eventually) arrived with the correct address on, except the country name: Switzerland. And it's always the same in India. You are asked "what is your country name" 8 billion times a day, you say "Poh Land" to make the pronounciation clear, and they still hear "Holland".

Travel / Good beer stores / House of Beer in Krakow? [5]

Alma in the Galeria Kazimierska, but very expensive. Gone are the days when you could buy tons of things for 2p.

Food / Polish Duck Soup [117]

If it's good for you it's probably been made illegal, suddenly! So cook it while you can, smacznego.

Work / What jobs pay 10,000 zlotych per month? and Where can i find one? :o) [101]

You can get a lot more than 10k. Join the world's biggest, oldest company and become a Catholic priest. Countless "moherowe berety (devout Catholic old ladies afraid of going to hell after a lifetime of petty theft, such as rifling your jacket when you use their toilet)" will fall over each other to give you their measly pensions of 3 groszies per year for a one-way entry through the pearly gates. As a bonus you'll be living in the Middle Ages, where the Church is always right and rules supreme, without the need for a time machine. Try expensive towns like Limanowa where the only attraction is the massive church right in the town centre's Rynek.
