It is officially decriminalised and is sold openly.
In Spain and Portugal, possession is allowed, in Czech also (and Cocaine too).
That won't happen.
Uruguay too, it is legal there and sold in government owned shops.
It IS NOT legal in the Netherlands......it is merely tolerated.

Yes, however the Wawel one is special.
There are many mystical places. Drohiczyn, Mężenin and Grabarka are among them. Jasna Góra and Swięta Lipka are centres of pilgrimage.
Komorów outside Warsaw is also interesting to some.

Food / Origin of the pierogi [127]
I like that kind. Also Pierogi Lwowskie, a 1930s recipe where the pierogi are filled with a dry-ish Bolognese sauce.
Traditionally, there has always been creativity in pierogi fillings. There are many possibilities, and new ideas all the time.
Poland (or Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, or anywhere else that has pierogi in their national cuisines) are not skansens, frozen in the past and incapable of creativity or development.
I bought some chili con carne pierogi from somewhere in Kraków a while ago, they were excellent!

Remember, some of us work at night. It's always night and always day somewhere in the world, and post-Covid, people work online with people in different time zones..
Not that your post helps the OP at all.
As I said, check the requirements for France, especially if driving when it's dark, and check (there are a few websites about this) what equipment you need to carry in given countries; certain countries require a warning triangle to be carried. It goes without saying that there needs to be the correct insurance, and it would also be a good idea to carry a document proving ownership of the vehicle, just in case it's stopped.
Plenty of people drive across Europe every day without checking each country's rules, however there's always the danger of being stopped by police, especially if the vehicle is a. Russian plated and b. unusual. It'[s good to be belt and braces careful.
Also, check the situation about crossing the border into Schengen; this can change fairly suddenly right now.

The engine (and passengers) will get very wet unless you use a ferry for part of that journey.
Otherwise you should be fine providing you have appropriate insurance for the journey. Check the rules for driving in France regarding headlights (you may need to use masking tape if they aren't adjustable) as well as requirements for carrying warning triangles etc.
You'll also need to check the current border status re. Covid (OK now within Schengen, subject to change coming in/out of Schengen), and you may wish to avoid Belarus.
What problems will we encounter.

There'd need to be a test case to establish whether that is appropriate under the Human Rights Act or not.
Injury and illness resulting from presence at or duties at a workplace are certainly grounds for compensation under most circumstances.
Presumably the employer who has a legal duty of care to all staff.
Can such staff demand legal compensation for damages? Who/what from?

Me too.
There's also a legal issue that hasn't surfaced yet in Poland or elsewhere in the EU but probably will sooner or later. That's the human rights of people with certain disabilities and illnesses that cause them to be immunocompromised. Including kindergarten Teachers and other staff who may come into contact with an unvaccinated kid and be harmed by this if the kid infects them with a serious illness..
Disability rights are enshrined in European law and there is no shortage of disability activists; in the age of masks and quarantines we can expect them to be assertive.
I think it is fair.
