Life / Right-wing events in Poland [13]

I'm definitely going to get in touch. The situation in Germany, especially around Frankfurt, is horrible. In many areas you'd be hard-pressed to find any ethnic Germans, and the Germans who are still left are all so concerned about right-wing radicalism and not at all about the death of their people. The average modern German male has absolutely zero balls. I don't know what can be done about it. It really inspires me to see countries like Poland and Hungary showing some serious backbone against thr EU dictatorship.

Life / Right-wing events in Poland [13]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to find some right-wing, pro-white, etc. events to attend in Poland that would be held at least in part in English?

I'll be spending some time in Poland for work and would like to get to know some nice people.

Travel / My Experience in Poland (compared to Germany) [100]

I understood Lyzko's original comment about the bogus bureaucracy to mean that I'll need to deal woth corrupt officials if I move to Poland. In response to that I wrote that I can cope with that. I never said I believe Poland is corrupt nor that I support bribery, only that I would do it if that's the way things are done in Poland.

You could make a case for any party being undemocratic if you wanted to. The current German government wants to flood Germany with immigrants and any party that opposes that will be accused of being anti-democratic.

Labelling a party as democratic or undemocratic is nonsense. It amounts to nothing more than name calling and is a way for authoritarian governments to arbitrarily exclude parties they don't like.

My attitude is a way of dealing with corruption and is not a cause of it.
Germany is supposed to be a democracy too. It's interesting how the government and media are ganging up on the only political party in the country that advocates for referendums and denounce that party as "undemocratic." It should be obvious to anyone with a mind of his own that the German poltical system is anti-democratic.

Thanks for the good advice. I'm not really considering moving to Poland right away and I wouldn't do it without the proper planning. I have no problem with corruption in government if it means having to grease a few palms to get paperwork processed faster. I also used to live in the Dominican Republic.

My God, an agenda? For what? I'm just trying to share my experience about visiting Poland and learn more about the country. Yes I lived in the US for a long time. So what?

I can assure you I'm not Indian and not a troll. What I wrote is my impression of Poland after having spent over a week there. I never claimed to be an authority on the subject.

Thanks. I can't stop thinking about what it would be like moving to Poland. Germany is increasingly turning into a politically correct third-world hellhole. I would like my kids to grow up in an environment where they don't have to be ashamed of being white and aren't forced to learn about gay sex in elementary school. I've heard great things in particular about southeastern Poland around the Rzeszów area.

This is hyopthetical of course at present, but I'd like to know if we made the effort to learn to speak fluent Polish, would Poles ever truly accept us into their community?

Travel / My Experience in Poland (compared to Germany) [100]

First of all I'd like to thank everyone on this forum who helped answer my questions and gave me advice beforehand. That was very helpful.

After spending a over a week in Mragowo and Warsaw and briefly seeing some other towns like Olsztyn, I thought I would share my impression of Poland concerning the things that are better or worse than in Germany. I had an overwhelmingly positive experience and my family had a very nice time.

Things in Poland that are better than in Germany



Poles seem to be less serious, more relaxed, and more willing to joke around.
Stores are open on Sundays and usually don't charge for a plastic bag (or only 10 groszy). No 25ct bottle deposits.
Beer, water, and other drinks served in restaurants are served sufficiently cold and coffee is served sufficiently hot. Often not the case in Germany.
Children's playgrounds are very clean and it is clearly indicated that smoking, alcohol, and dogs are prohibited. In Germany often all three are allowed and the government does nothing to help to clean up the filth left behind by degenerates.

Very reasonable prices for bottled water, taxis, food, beer.
No smoking allowed at outdoor bus stops.
Little to no third-world immigrants. We barely saw any even in Warsaw. School playgounds filled with blond-haird children.
Friendly, helpful, and sincere waitresses in restaurants.
Poles seem to be very patriotic and value their culture and independence, but not in a way that attempts to diminish or insult other cultures. Unforunately many Germans have a self-righteous attitude and consider themselves experts on all world affairs. Germans aren't shy about expressing their (often uninformed) opinions about another person's country (and politics) upon meeting them. Poles don't seem to do that.

Poles take religion seriously and don't pick and choose the parts of it they like to fit a modern/decadent lifestyle.
Air conditioning isn't great, but better and more widely available than in Germany.
Men act manlier and women act more feminine. I was impressed at the punching bags installed in the kid's playgrounds. Polish women dress in a way that makes men notice them.

Things in Poland that are worse than in Germany



The taxis (although very inexpensive) are usually old junkers and don't offer any child carseats or booster seats.
The intercity buses are old and rattly. The bus stops are not called out and are poorly (or not) labeled. We had a hard time knowing when to get out.

People like to feed the pigeons. Germany has this problem too, but I found it to be worse in Poland. The inside floor of the Olsztyn bus station is covered in pigeon droppings.

Many people speak zero English. You can't really fault the Poles for only speaking Polish, but I would expect the woman behind the ticket counter at the Warsaw Centralna train station to understand at least basic English.

Travel / Horror House in Warsaw [20]

It looks like you have to show up in a group of 2 or larger. I won't be able to bring my wife and 3-year-old son.

Travel / Horror House in Warsaw [20]

I just got into Warsaw today and noticed signs up in the Old Town about the Horror House. The website looks pretty awesome and it only costs 25 zloty for a single person not in a group.

Would anyone else be interested in going tomorrow? horrorhouse.pl

Travel / From Warsawa Centralna to Old Town hotel [4]

What's the best way to get from the Warsaw Central Station to the Old Town at 4pm on a weekday? If taxi is the best option, how much should this cost and would it be acceptable to negotiate the price with the driver beforehand?

Travel / Bus from Mrągowo to Gierloz (Wolf's Lair) [2]

So I'm using the website for intercity bus travel that someone recommended in a different post ( en.e-podroznik.pl ). For the Mrągowo departure station, it gives me two different options and bus operators:

Mrągowo D.A. (PKS "Polonus" w Warszawie S.A) or Mrągowo ul.Curie-Skłodowskiej (ExpressBus Transport Osobowy)

Each connection has a layover in Ketrzyn.

We're staying in the Mrągowo Mercure Hotel. Is there any difference between these two stations/operators in terms of convenience? Are the bus tickets bought directly from the driver or in a machine at the station? (I'd prefer not to book online in advance due to the uncertain schedule.) Also, would the full fare be charged for a 3-year old child?

Travel / Milk Bars in Warsaw's Old Town [18]

Just because milk bars serve cheap food doesn't mean that food and hygiene standards are somehow worse than in other more expensive cafes/restaurants. I'm wondering why you would think that.

It's because I don't know anything about them. I wasn't sure whether they were comparable to a soup kitchen in the US in terms of the people who can be found there.

They do come into cafes though, even nice ones.

Do the cafe/restaurant owners tolerate this?

Travel / Milk Bars in Warsaw's Old Town [18]

I've read a bit about the Polish milk bars and I must admit I find them intriguing based on the notion of the nondescript storefronts, hearty meals, and communist-era atmosphere. However, are the milk bars safe to frequent in terms of cleanliness and other customers? I'd prefer not to get a stomach bug, food poisoning, or be attacked or harassed for money by a group of drunken bums.

Is there such a thing as a safe, clean, and family-friendly milk bar in or near Warsaw's old town?
