Italy - Makaronniki!

That's "makaroniarze" in Polish :)

Bulgaria - Wangaland

Now, that's a bit harsh ;)

S. Italy to the Italians = Ethiopia. Haha.

Yeah - and Sicily is Somalia :)

crazy relaxing thread

How about your map, Crow? I think I can guess the descriptions of some countries
on it, but it would be nice to read them :)

you have no sense of humour, you're bipolar.." I mean bipolar??? How stupid is that anyway.

Don't forget paranoid, rude and insecure :)

You always present yourself as being holier than thou..

I am glad you think so :):):)

Have a great day :)

USA - we are far morally superior than them

Poland and Russia - is there really a difference?

Germany - Mercedes land

UK - God Save the Queen and all but, seriously, what is the purpose of monarchy in Canada?

I guess it keeps things closer connected to Europe vs US ;). On the serious side, I think that Canada still contributes financially to the Throne.

Europe through Polish eyes

I find it quite amusing.

All of this are either translations I couldn't put on the map or questions of what they mean, as I myself couldn't understand it.

Portugal: Mała Hiszpania = Little Spain
Morocco: No idea what it's about
Algeria: Dzicz = savages
Denmark: Olsen gang (known TV series)
France: No idea what it's about
Belgium: No idea what it's about
Netherlands: trawa=grass & Pedzie = No idea what it's about
Austria: Mały Hitler = Little Hitler
In some parts of Yugoslavia: Wojna = War
Macedonia: Co to? = What's this?
Greece: Gorąco! = Hot!
Bulgaria: PRL = Commie Poland
Romania: Cyganie = Gypsy
Czech Rep: No idea what it's about
Moldavia: Winko= Wine
Hungary= Gulasz= Goulash
Belarus: No idea what it's about
Latvia: Lithuania nr 2
Estonia: Lithuania nr 3
In southern part of France & Cyprus: No idea what it's about
Syria: Savages
Most eastern parts of the map which haven't been translated= No idea what it's about

Pretty good! Ours, how apt! Pepicki, probably accurate. As for Katyń, perhaps the most accurate although the tragic irony is that I can't find Katyń even on highly detailed maps. As one would say, 'a matter of perception'.

Pretty good!

It's not my work tho, my father found it somewhere on the internet I belive and send me it.
I wanted to share it with PF and check what half of it mean and if ny of it is correct at all

Because "Pani Stanislawa" made my day, I'll help you :-)

Morocco: Skansen = Heritage park (Morocco was recently popular tourist destination, with beduins and all that staff it looked underdeveloped for many)
France: Trzęsidupy = ass shakers = cowards...
Belgium: Urzędasy = Bureaucrats
Netherlands: grass & Pedzie = grass and gays
Czech Rep: Pepiki = disrespectful, but more toward funny description of Czechs
Belarus: Kolchoz = state farm
In southern part of France & Cyprus: Ruscy = Russians

And last but not least actually funny to me:
Kazachstan: Pani Stanislawa -> Mrs Stanislawa, usually old woman of Polish heritage working/living in Poland. I know one such lady, very nice person indeed :-)

go to maps.google.com

and paste this into the search box:

Russian Federation, Province of Smolensk, Smolenskiy rayon, Katyn

I know where it is, Dariusz, it's just that most maps I've checked don't list it.

Thanks for the link anyhow :)

Ruscy - the New Russians favourite holiday places (that's where they spend their hard earned billions of petrorubles)

Kazachstan: Pani Stanislawa -> Mrs Stanislawa, usually old woman of Polish heritage working/living in Poland. I know one such lady, very nice person indeed :-)

The prototype is a character in a soap opera Klan. I loved that one too :)
