Is that a question for me? Its got a lot more Poles and other Europeans than any other Australian city, so if you like that type of enviroment then Melbourne is the place for you... Its more like Europe too. I hope that was useful information for you man.

Well, one would ask if there were any cafes, not a specific chain that is globalised beyond belief.
And some of starbucks practices, ie not getting permits and setting up shop are highly questionable.
Why do you assume that was the context in which that question was asked?

you dont also sometimes add sugar as well do you....gasp
taught us the art of tea maybe, the coffee thang would be a more migrant (im guessing italian) influence.
it did not matter if i paid more or less, instant coffee was more gratifying taste wise than a cappucino.
youre right... and we put milk in our tea as well... weirdos, huh?
you dont also sometimes add sugar as well do you....gasp
we are quite happy to let foreigners visit our country but we like to keep our coffee for our own... its a commonwealth thing... your either a member or your not... we either owned you or taught you how to drink tea and coffee... its an empire thang... you gotsta understand...

i was unaware that the english were known for their coffee skills. maybe things have changed since i was their 5 years ago. but back then i lost count of the crap coffees i was served.
i think australia has more knowledge in the coffee department, and drink more per capita than any other country.
as i just posted,i was there 5 years ago and decent coffee was hard to in shops that served coffee. it all really hinges on the preparer, if they dont know what they are doing then you are in trouble.
thats could be because you are not english and thus dont realise a good cup of coffee when you drink one...

Not sure that's quite true now. In my house good coffee rules. I rarely make tea.
Reason we have a lot of good coffee shops now is because more people drink coffee than tea.

rule of thumb when in the UK, be wary if a UK resident is making your coffee. they are better at cups of tea than coffee.
There's a french coffee shop close by and the coffee is just awful/

The Preston market has a few good shops, The Glenroy shop is the main manufacturer, and that stuff goes to the Victoria and Preston market.

hey syrena,
i am from Melbourne and have been on the Polish dziupla site but my knowledge of written Polish is worse than my speaking Polish.
i actually am related to two names in your list.
surnames I am interested in are Klackiewicz, Bartoszewicz, Emilianowicz and others such as Miszuk, Adamcewicz, Staszkiewicz.

Yes, Sayno, i am from melbourne.
My parents think the best polish food is athe polish club in albion. If you want something more commercial then try borsch, vodka, tears. They have a website, just google the name. There is also a place called chesters out in the east that my brother happened upon.
there is also a polish dance every month and if you can read polish it is at:

i would have thought ocean grove and the like would have been okay to swim in over summer.
down the mornington area over summer the water isnt that cold, but maybe im used to it.
King Sobieski, your beaches along the Great Ocean Road and at Wilsons Promitory are very very beautiful but ........ even though I visited those beaches during the hottest time of the year, I still couldn't swim - the water is simply freezing! But beautiful, nonetheless!

well, poles do come from a cooler climate so that could explain why there are more poles down south.
but that said, the temperatures between melbourne and sydney do not differ much.
and a trip down our great ocean road or to wilsons promitory may change your mind about great beaches

being from melbourne i am not sure what is available up in sydney but the polish clubs (like community centre's) usually have a restaurant area.
there is a restaurant in melbourne that is called "borsch, vodka and tears" if you are ever down this way.
there is also a polish deli at the vic market.
I am yet to find a Polish restaurant in Sydney though - would like to try some Polish food. Does anyone have any recommendations?!
