Language / Weird Polish dialect [15]

It's difficult to discern an accent or a dialect of any type here. Just a simple man who got a little bit angry :)

Life / Men in Poland in the forest? Just men? [133]

Well yes I do live in the Podkarpacie

Do we live in the same Podkarpacie, cos I still have my doubts? The simplest and shortest explanation to the phenomenon you've mentioned is that you don't have many places of public entertainment in the villages. These guys that gather near the local shops are just unemployed inexpensive wine connoisseurs with plenty of spare time. Meanwhile the wives earn a living. Although drinking alcohol in places such as streets , parks and squares is prohibited in Poland and the drinkers are liable to a fine it's hard to break a habit. That's why some of them prefer partying in the forest. Why do they squat down? Who knows? Maybe they don't want to sit on the ground - I can't see any asian background here :) If the Podkarpacie region was under any eastern influence it'd be rather eastern european infuence , definately not asian. And why only men? Drinking alcohol in the forest is not the best kind on entertainment one can dream of - I 'm saying this as a girl :)

I was hoping for an explanantion that it is a hangover from the days of communism when people hung around the shops hoping for something to come in other than osset and brown paper.

Dregnought, pleaseee :) :) You' re not waiting for explanation , you are asking and giving yourself the answers. BTW. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, that's the point ;)

Greetings from the Podkarpacie :)
