Travel / Driving to Poland from England - any tips? [264]

You'll know if you hit one, especially if it's the middle of the night.

Tickets don't seem to make it out of Germany though, just like everywhere else.

That said, my car starts making noises about 100m before I pass a camera.. very odd.

10% for the cameras.

Genealogy / My father Jozef Nawrot, he played football for the Polish national side - any relatives in Krakow? [4]


Really? Wow.

I just read up, and found this in wikipedia :(

"Pozostał na emigracji do końca życia, nie utrzymywał kontaktów ze znajomymi w kraju."

It also mentioned that towards the end of his career, he played for Polonia Warsaw, perhaps it might be worthwhile to contact them in addition to Legia?

He took part in Market Garden as well, if you have information on who he was with, that might be a good route for finding information as well.

UK, Ireland / Female health in Britain - Polish view [105]

Have you ever been treated in a Russian hospital? Just saying, again, it's a personal experience thing. I wouldn't want my child born in Barnaul, getting xrays left a bad enough taste in my mouth.

It's not aggression, it's just simple numbers. Why not use the Czech Republic as an example? They're doing it right. The Russians most certainly are not. The Scandinavians know what they're doing, so do the rich Asian countries.

There has to be some reason that babies born in Poland are twice as likely as dying at birth than Singaporean babies. Also has to be some reason that Russian babies are nearly three times more likely to die than Polish babies.

Just numbers.

This all probably explains why the infant mortality rate is high in the UK, lower in Poland, and even lower in Russia... Wait, it's the other way around...strike that comment.

Heh, I worship the sun. Comes out every morning, keeps me warm, provides the planet with the energy that it needs to support life.

All hail the the fission ball in the sky!

That's ok with me, I just treat them just like everyone else that believes that there is an invisible man controlling everything. The rituals and the jewelry provide good warning.

Heh

Good luck with your 40 acres and a mule.

I'm pretty sure that the huge chunk of Germany was worth at least $65b. Maybe talk to the Russians about compensation for what they took?

Law / Visa Stamp if you overstay (American with a Polish Wife) [29]


I meant EU border guards.

Anyway, every single post in this thread says it's illegal, most with suggestions to leave. Now, would you get the same response on a Polish forum from Poles living in the US? ...probably not. You were saying something about double standards?

I used to wear two earrings a while back and didn't have any problems, that was back in 2004.

Keep the big poofy jacket at home, and try to speak at a whisper...don't worry, it's loud enough for non Italians to understand :)

On a side note, I'm sure Jesus is going to be real happy to see all those crosses when he gets back.

The autobahn is amazing, it has the ability to transform from a race track to the worlds largest parking lot in a matter of hours.
