Travel / Country-style hotel outside Warsaw [5]

I can't remember names, but look in the vicinity of Zalew Zegrzynski... Many good places there.

Travel / How much is a cab: Warsaw airport to the bus station? [27]

The Bayer incident took place at least 4 years ago, methinks.

Life / How do the Polish feel about air pollution in their cities? [35]

Sue them! It will, eventually, help them and you too :-)

Love / How to ask the Polish parents for her hand in Marriage? [32]

Mickey Blue Eyes :-) (almost!)

Life / Russian Language - is it offensive if I speak it to Polish people? [69]

Russians are a rare breed in Poland nowadays (unlike in London's posh areas or Courchevel), so they currently get decent attention from us. :-)

Law / How long to renew a Polish Passport in Poland? [8]

At this time of the year it should be quicker. Usually backlogs appear just before summers.

Travel / In Poland, Can I cash an American Check? [14]

Luckily we never seriously got into the primitive system of checks/checking accounts. Just wire your money to here. It will be quicker and costs (most likely) comparable.

History / Is this the moment for Poles and all Slavs that they apologise to their old Gods? [8]

For Crow... this is one of the more sane of his moments :-)

USA, Canada / Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]

I agree with Pol3. There is nothing wrong with that, when it comes to the great U of A :-). Especially as they let you keep your polish passport in your pocket.

Life / The most dissapointed with Poland are those who have Polish origins. [35]

OK. the so called goodwill has just diminished. Thanx Ironside.

Life / The most dissapointed with Poland are those who have Polish origins. [35]

I sense a bit of goodwill in this thread, here and there, after having read preceding posts .... That's good as we're approaching Xmas :-). Let it last beyond Christmas as well! And yes, I am a native polish guy and I do embrace all plastic, foreign, half-bred, quarter-bred and black Poles, even if they barely speak our vernacular.

Travel / Krakow - any 24h food place where i can order a pizza or something like that online? [15]

Krakowians are fast asleep, I'm afraid.

News / 'Bored' Poles build 31ft tall Frosty [16]

Lovely.

News / Krystian Legierski - First openly gay Polish elected official [20]

He's a good guy indeed.

News / WikiLeaks Reveals Tense Foreign Relations Amongst Poland. [22]

Old news, new suppositions.

Life / Polish-American Polka Music in Poland [60]

Yes, Lato z Radiem polka is well known. But otherwise this is hardly a mainstream music in Poland. Normally you do not hear it on the radio or TV unless you take effort and look for it. And moreover... nobody in PL knows american polka bands unless they have lived there and been exposed to the phenomenon.

Language / Village and towns in Poland with hard to pronounce names [22]

Pszczółczyn - the letter "ł" is definitely heard in this case!

Real Estate / Poland's Banks Association: 61,100 housing loans in Q3 [2]

Well, it's not like everyone is unemployed, you know. GDP increase for 3rd Q was up by 4,2%. Then again 61K is not a huge number either.

Law / DELL shifting ops from Ire to PL [30]

We churn out over 1million car engines for Toyota and others per year so Dell will not be a big problem either :-)

USA, Canada / Getting a VISA to USA by a Polish person nowadays [339]

illigant immigrant .... gotta love those compatriots :-) and then they complain

Food / Krupnik as a Polish ethnic dish or drink? [13]

Krupnik is THE major soup in PL!!! .... but come to think of it: only my Mom knows how to cook it properly. :-)

As to the krupnik booze.... indispensable on a ski slope (in tiny bottles) :-)

Life / What on earth is the fascination of Indians, Pakistanis and Nepalese with Poland? [112]

An unchartered territory for them, aren't we? :-)

Food / Krupnik as a Polish ethnic dish or drink? [13]

If you mean a vodka/honey based booze then all you need is a good liquor store. But if you mean krupnik THE soup, then indeed you need a stove - but it's a totally different story. Come to think of it..... I am hungry, where is krupnik when one needs it? :-)

Language / Pronunciation of vowels at the end of a word [28]

Teffle, in this case (w porządku) the letter "w" is always pronounced as "f" not as "v". Similarly in a word "paw" (peacock) the pronounciation is "paf" but of course when you decline the word it the "w" is once agin sounded e.g.: "z pawiem" (with a peacock)

News / Local elections in Poland, EU citizens should register to vote [57]

Let's just vote everyone. Glad to have those of you who are expatriates to vote here. Cast your vote and enjoy in the manner you prefer:-)

Travel / Bars and clubs in Warsaw and best district to stay [18]

LOL, I thought I was one of the few in town who have ever visited Piotrus. This is THE dive :-). No Kieslowski movies being discussed, no Lupa fans either..... If you don't have 3 shots of wiśniówka (and presto!) you will not be able to stay there for more than 2 minutes :-)

News / Philippines' tourism logo "borrowed" from Polska? :) [5]

I yearn to go for a visit there. I would let them use that logo too, it's nice :-)

Work / Average monthly salary in Poland is around 1000 PLN (few hundred bucks). [387]

For 1K no one would bother to move their ass from a couch if they had one :-). I used to employ university grads for 2,7K as a starting salary. And that was 3/4 years ago. They quickly progressed to 3,5K within a year or less. Well, but they were smart indeed.

Language / Talk radio station (in Polish to learn Polish) [15]

TOK fm is the one.

Travel / Bars and clubs in Warsaw and best district to stay [18]

Powisle bar is nice as well, on a sunny day.
