Maf, you would be right it that was an adult foot. It wasn`t. Kids should be treated leniently.
So, I was angry at sth else. :):)

Nope. Such monuments were pulled down just after WW2.


The photos show the route which we covered during the Night of the Museums. The Barbican, NBP bank building, Jagielło monument etc.

No, it was Czartoryski Museum.

Why was I pissed off with this view?

News / Commemoration of 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the WWII in Warsaw. Poland a full-fledged NATO member. [30]

Exactly. But the Soviet Union was delaying its invasion for so long that Hitler finally got pissed off and sent a message to Foreign Minister Molotov, asking why Soviets were not attacking Poland as it had been agreed. Eventually, Stalin gave the green light for an attack on 17th September.

That is how Soviets entered the war in 1941. :):):)

News / Commemoration of 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the WWII in Warsaw. Poland a full-fledged NATO member. [30]

The historical truth is that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union became allies through the Ribbentrop Molotov Pact and divided Eastern Europe between themselves. All other theories which the Kremlin invents are lies aiming at whitening the Soviet Union and Stalin, remembered with heart breaking nostalgia by quite a lot of Russians.

There is sth wrong with logic in your post.

The title of your link is Hungarians rebuilding their traditional architecture which was torn down by the Communists.

What does it have in common with rebuilding the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw?

You mean PC now? It has never occured to me to apply it to mankind, let alone I even didn `t know such a word as humankind exists. :):)

Sorry, I need to repeat: It is a very serious mammal, which enabled people to do great things in history.

To make it sound more serious, let`s change people into mankind.

Let`s start from the very logical beginning: where does the shadow come from?

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Yes, of course. Why such a queue? People are queuing to get sth for free. :)

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

When I said close, I meant you guessed there is an animal in the shadow. But it doesn`t mean they are so similar/alike.

Besides, boars haven`t enabled people to do great things in history. Even if they did, they were uncomparably surpassed by other mammals.

Nope. It is a very serious mammal, which enabled people do great things in history. And the shadow isn`t a joke, either. It is a serious shadow in Krakow.


Unfortunately, such things as marbled stables contributed to the fall of Poland.

Yes, Milo. Crossaxe was a defensive palace with very rich interiors. E.g, horses were kept in stables tiled with marble and giant mirrors on the walls.

You are close with this animal. But the shadow was cast by another mammal.

I forgot to add: those figures on top are allegorical representations of two pillars of the bank - industry and farming. The building was erected in 1920s.

Work / Opening a kindergarten / daycare business in Poland [12]

Hmm, there are a lot of sites explaining how to set up a kindergarten. In Polish of course. But they claim it is not so difficult as it may seem.

E.g,

Are you a EU citizen? Then you have the same rights as a Polish one and such sites are for you , too.

Yes, Cloths Hall, the oldest shopping centre in Krakow. :)

No, they are other allegorical figures which represent the main "pillars" of the institution located there.

Hint: Mind the perspective. Where was I taking the pic of that building?

Polonia / Poles in Kazakhstan ignored by the "Polish" state. [18]

Milo
Very much, you probably didn`t read the post to the end. OP suggested that the previous government ignored Kazachstan Poles.

So called Polish State ruled by Polish Soviets takes in about eight to 20 families

Today PiS is doing the same.


No, bigger coz it is PiS which introduced the so called "good change" in order to make Poles "rise from their knees. " But that seemingly doesn`t apply to Kazachstan Poles coz they have no voting power.

That`s wrong coz each dog can go crazy for reasons unknown to human owners and attack another person out of the blue. There are a few dozen cases of seriously bitten, virtually massacred children, sometimes by dogs whose owners claimed after the event: he has always been so good with kids!,.
