Life / Flea markets in Wrocław [14]

I bought an old clock there, I'm satisfied.

That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for... cool antiques & collectibles :)

Life / Flea markets in Wrocław [14]

I will compile the locations onto a Google Map and post it here.

Thanks

Much appreciated. I too was hoping to find some great flea markets in Poland. The closest I found was an outdoor bazaar in Lublin, along with a couple over-priced antique shops.

Love / How do I make a Polish girl cry? [107]

Of course, if you really want to make a woman cry

Fixing her up on a blind date with Zimmy is a sure shot!

Love / Does your Polish partner suffer from disposophobia [46]

the excuse she gives is that the kids may need them for projects at school

Thats the excuse some of my older relatives use, who love hoarding useless items. You never know when you may need it.
I can't understand the reasoning why some peeps hold on to old medicines, that expired several years ago. Lol!

Want to know how is the job market now in Poland

Life / Motorcyle breakers in Poland? [10]

Wildrover is the motorcycle expert here on PF. He can probably give you any info you need, about motorcycles in Poland.

Love / Any suggestions for wedding venues in South of Poland [28]

Mini buses to collect guests

My cousin had arranged a mini-bus to pick up guests from the church & drop us off at her wedding reception. It was very convenient, relaxing and a guarantee of most guests arriving around the same time :)

Life / Trick or treat in Poland [24]

the whole weekend is based on visiting the graveside.

This concept is also practiced in parts of Latin American.

Trick or treating has been going on in Warsaw for well over 10 years

I had no idea it was introduced that long ago in Warsaw.

USA, Canada / Looking for Polish beer in the United States [39]

I used this store while in California

The same company can sometimes order hard to find bottled sodas and beverages. Their products are used in vintage vending machines.

Food / Fishy Kiełbaski! [9]

they could be classed as bizarre. Still, worth trying :) :)

Probably a lot healthier than traditional kiełbasa. I wonder if they're cheaper in cost, in comparison to more traditional kiełbasa...

Travel / Is it safe to travel to Poland? [194]

The cities I plan on visiting are Warsaw, Gdansk, Krakow, and Lublin

I've visited Warsaw & Lubin, no safety probs for me. My sis has visited the other two Polish cities, along with several others. No safety probs for her either.

USA, Canada / A typical Polish American wedding [25]

how we 1st generation Polish Americans enjoyed our wedding celebrations

Nice video, thanks. I only got through the first dancers portion so far (14.28 mins.) Will watch the rest when I return from work :)

We did it our way

Finally watched the rest of the video. I liked seeing the various generations participating in the dancing; especially the two older ladies dancing together. Was this your actual Polish wedding or a wedding you had attended?

Law / Would Polish people use a cattery? [17]

Hi can anyone tell me if in Poland people use cattery's or kennels

I would imagine people may be interested in using them while traveling. There's another thread where someone was searching for a Pet Hotel/Kennel :)

Real Estate / Who designs houses in Poland? [66]

Whereas these simply cost a lot of money:

Some of the designs look like that of a cocktail lounge.

Real Estate / Who designs houses in Poland? [66]

I've never seen a home before, with it's own personal drive-in theater. I guess the Konieczny house has everything.
