Genealogy / Being ashamed of Polish ancestry? [156]

Do people with at least second generation polish ancestry in a foreign western country feel ashamed of their polish descent? I'm polish myself living in poland and I often notice americans of polish ancestry very often hide their polish ancestry here and act arrogantly like they were anglo. To be honest when I speak face to face with western people I feel somewhat inferior even in my own country. But I guess it has much to do with the fact that my interlocutor speaks better english.

Life / Why are the Italians and Polski so much alike? [90]

I always thought Napoleon left Josephine for Polish Girl and they had child. I have seen movie about them.

Don't forget Italians did settled in Poland back then if I am not mistaken.

I think Polish copied Italian foods.

Ravioli - Perogi
Pantoni - Babka
Recotta cheese - Farmer Cheese

cookies are pretty same.

I know I am bad speller. Forgive me.

Life / Why do you choose to stay in Poland, why not other country? [152]

To terziev

I still think Polish people do have better foods in Poland than America.
Why? Because we have American products which is made in Wisconsin, Michigan or other states.

In Poland you have very good products which is why your Polish foods taste so delicious. Compare to America, I think you all would choose Polish Foods over America.

When I go to European Deli or Grocery, they have Polish products, I haven't buy them yet. I will soon.

Life / Why do you choose to stay in Poland, why not other country? [152]

I think some people choose to stay in Poland because they are afraid to make some changes when they leaves Poland.

They have been worries:
1. Find job which is suitable for you.
2. Which mean we have to learn new jobs every years. Companies changing.
3.. Not be able to find wife or husband like in Poland
4. Don't like living in America or other countries, not feeling comfortable.
5. Misses Polish Foods and their customs and cultures.
6. Misses beautiful Poland.

I really don't know.

Life / Making Real Friends in Poland [9]

Welcome to my club, Polish people do make fun of people who don't write English properly. They do critizing our bad grammars, etc.

Now you all know why I am complaining. Polish people are very spirtual no matter what occasions is. Too moody or wild side also.

Deal with Polish people like I do. Since I am Polish also.

So Long.

Love / Virtual Relationship of an Asian girl with a Polish man [43]

I really don't know how to tell you.

My mother was telling me that her father didn't like living in Poland. My mother was telling me that her mother didn't want to leave Poland. They both were born in Krakow, Poland. They did fall in love and got married in Poland. After grandparents had 1st child, he went to live in America. When their child was 1 year old, grandmother and my uncle moved to U.S. for while and my grandparents had 5 more children born in U.S.. They all went back to Poland and settled for while and they had 4 more born in Poland. My grandfather got tired of living in Poland and moved back to America till his death. See my grandparents lived apart. My mother didn't like idea how they lived. Well, my mom went back to America and married my father and stayed together for 40 years till my dad passed away.

Before you married, make sure if you really want to move out from your city to another city for good. If you don't, don't get marry.

It is not nice to talk about people poor English. You are teacher and you should know better.

Look around lot of people in forum do not write English well. I look at this way, they need our ideas, helps, learn our cultures and friendships.

Wow! I really have somegthing to say.

1. Ladies goes to College to be something. How come ladies have cleaning jobs?

2. Everybody says Polish women are beautiful! Yeah, they pose nude in Playboy magazine. Did they get better jobs after posing nude? No. No one don't want them.

3. You Men says Polish women are dress well. I don't think so, these ladies dresses properly in office, hospital or night club or Cafe too. No underwear. If I dressed like that, my boss will send me home to change my clothes. Good thing I dressed properly. Other co-workers were send back home to change their clothes.

4. Polish ladies do not act like ladies, they get so drunk and passed out on roads or sidewalk in pulbic place. Hopeful your boss don't see pictures of you on newspapers or TV. Some were in jail and sent back home to Poland. Shame on you.

5. Why do all Polish people (over 300,000) leave Poland? What is wrong with Poland? Can you help your country?????

How can you say What Poland can't do? If I think of something, I will post again.

Italian had no pity on me and wasn't with me all the time. He was fooling around with someone else.
