@Alien
Yes especially since the roads to and from the shops are blocked. I may go on foot to one of them.

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [332]

I will be a bit behind tomorrowas sernik was supposedto be done today and shopping all finished but due to insufficient planning I have to go for a quick shop and bake tomorrow:(

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Please don't point out the Polish school realities to him or that nice Polish godło as it's just too funny :)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

I think sin simply shouldn't be brought up as an argument outside of religious circles.

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Christmas is by now social tradition as much as religious one. You cannot spend centuries pushing people into celebrating certain things, making sure people have time off exactly then and not at time that suits them and avoid making it unrelated to religion in some way too.

Keep the sin for the church. If your argument is sin then I as an atheist don't give a damn.

Love / I'm an Asian girl. Polish boyfriend has never kissed me, but I'm in love to him. [13]

I said nothing about your experience. I expressedmy opinion on the comment about Poles in general.

Sorry, BS.

Life / Poles turn their backs on organised religion. [148]

A big moment in state-church relations.
First Town in Poland refused to fund religion classes.

Nothing or Campari with orange juice.

Life / I'm from China and I would like to ask about the real experience of life in Poland [44]


I did. I even flew on the same plane with them both ways.

My grandparents returned from USA. Theoretically I still have relatives there.

Polonia / Tak Tak - Polish Deli (in Berlin) [34]

I'm not that hot for Indian. I do like Chinese in UK. We had excellent,family run place 2 minutes walk away. I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting UK. In Poland it's usually more Vietnamese.

As I said, in Berlin, try Yugoslavian. Great service, good food. Might be a but too conventional for you though.

Polonia / Tak Tak - Polish Deli (in Berlin) [34]


British ones are very poor in my opinion.

Berlin kebabs are delicious.

On the other hand Berliners have such an easy access to authentic Polish restaurants that I wonder if there is much point.

When in Berlin we usually visited 'Yugoslavian' restaurants

Love / Does he really love me ? [34]

Little human beings, much better than adults

And what I said earlier was of course about women that don't want children at that moment or at all.

Love / Does he really love me ? [34]

The prospect of pregnancy is such a big thing that most women will choose the strongest contraception. The pill offers that and most women will continue using it.

Following cycle, while good when no other options, cannot compare in success rate.

The healthiest for both parties ATM would be condom.

Life / Class system in Poland - does it exist? [90]


We were discussing Poland, weren't we?


Depends on a period.

And as you said 'we' where you a foreign nobility or one of those sell outs?

Life / Class system in Poland - does it exist? [90]

I don't downplay personal achievements and improvement. But titles were inherited and as such useless in determining personal qualities.

We had our title for saving Prince' life.
1- someone else might have saved many lives but because they weren't high born nobody cares.
2- does a deed like that pass down on kids, grandkids etc? Even if we assume that such parent would manage to raise his kids in that spirit that is the end of it. Grandkids, great grandkids have nothing to do with it.

But that was all szlachta was. Like the rest of humanity they had decent people and scum, smart and dumb and often would screw up their line by greed and marrying withing too small circle

Life / Is it common in Poland for multiple people to share a burial site? [4]


Quite common. There is also the tradition to book a mass for the anniversary too


It'sdue to the fact they stay there even of the weather is bad or you can't visit for a long time.
People do bring real flowers too. They will plant them straight on the grave, bring rhwm in pots or bring cut ones and put them in vases

Off-Topic / Best posters [886]

Lenka is having a laugh as this thread is supposed to be about posters and yet royalty seems to be discussed here. Connect those two and you have royalty posting here.
