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

Some japaneses asked me

-Where is Poland?

-Is warsaw one of city in Russia?

-Does poland still exist?

They did not know poland is one of Eu, so I taught truth:-)

Mr. Seanus,

Cocerning 'does poland still...' the japanese thought still poland is communistic country:-) so, she asked 'does poland...?' i did not describe detail of the question on a previous commemt. Sorry:-P

Of course, it is minority to have such stupid question even in jp, but sometime i see such japanese:-(

>japanese are very insular

I agree.

Ha ha. yees. I have had such experience:-) JP is far from Poland. Sometime, we cannot recognize the geographic location of countries correctly.


It depends on whether we are interested in it :-). To tell the truth, I couldn't distinguish "Slovakia" and "Slovenia" before coming to Poland:-( I am ashamed that I was.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

Absolutely Tyskie!

As we know well, there are many kinds of beer in Poland. I cannot explain what is difference amoung them and distinguish the taste, but Tyskie is suitable for me:-)

Yees, I know and I like it too:-) I think Ciechan is unfiltered beer (they are not filtered well after the fermentation process).

Hmm... it is hard to say which beer is No.1 because most of polish beers are tasty:-)

Law / Non-EU country citizen on tourist visa - could anyone help me with Karta Pobytu? [63]


I have had five times that process for appling for karta pobytu. I can imagine your situation because I'm already fed up with the stupid process. You see? This is reality of polish officers in city office. Each of them says something different.

Did you show a copy and your original credit card to the officer? (If you have)

The main problem is that you do not earn money here in Poland, isn't it? My foreign friend had the same situation but an officer accepted his financial condition when he showed copy of his credit card. But, it depends on officer. Please pay attention that all officers do not always accept the copied documents.

Anyhow, you do not have time to apply for karta pobytu.
If you have a certification of your money in your account, show it and try to show copied credit card within 7 days.

Unfortunately, I can only propose you to do so now...

Law / What is the most developed Science Technology in Poland? [11]


Do you mean Blue LED? Japanese company 日亜化学(Nichia) developed it and has patent. I do not think Poland has high technology for Blue LED.


Lol!! N. Korea is specialist for it!!:-) hahaha:-)


Ohh!! Thanks!

I was impressed in this one
The Institute of Mathematical Machines exhibited its IMMVein terminal for infrared identification of people by the pattern of the veins on their hands, which is unique for each individual.

I've never heard this identification system using vein. Interesting!


Yeah, it's well know. I heard the biggest computer science university in EU is in Poland (Silezja...? I forgot). Polish computer science will be more developed in future, won't it.

Sorry. It was my misunderstandings. Yes, I found some topics about blue semiconductor laser which was made under high-pressure conditions.

Moreover, I have met prof. Porowski :-p

Of course, I think, Blue laser is very important invention, and it has a potential to make new scientific field.
