No, there are no gas stations in Poland - all the cars on the new roads are pulled by horses. You'll need to bring it with you. Food too, since they are a society of hunter gatherers.

Not much of an update since the prosecutor hasn't called off his official enquiry.
There's a great new book out about the idiot - an absolute lack of dignity, restraint and very probably he has a serious case of mental deterioration. But hey, he's got a bigger button and his works...
And meanwhile Europe thrives, with Poland a strong member of the Union - despite the current ruling party's efforts to bring shame on itself.
Buy shares in coffin makers.
jon I will compile a list of updates

The prosecutor has plenty of work yet to do.
One person who doesn't have a special prosecutor.
Or the absolute absence of dignity and restraint we see in the orange lecher.
And interesting that the demented fool is being talked about in a thread about Europe. Reminds me of a joke I heard in Poland:
"Q. What's tound and hates Trump?
A. The World."
Not much logic in your post there JR...

to have many collusions breaking the laws so that DOES make her guilty.

Cash. It isn't very much (small change really), so make sure you have some low denomination notes and some coins.
If you go on a new road, be sure to make a small diversion to eat at a roadside bar (it will probably have the words Zajazd or karczma in the name). They're cheap and usually OK, the food can sometimes be greasy and bland but they generally have very good soup.

Trump's best friend, and possibly his downfall. He'll try to sacrifice some of his staffers (and possibly relatives) first, however his treason will go down in history.
Any rumours sound like hysteria - the philanthropist Dr Soros is 87 so he's more likely to be tucked in bed choosing good causes to bequeath to with a hot drink than appear on Dancing with the Stars.
Weird that the silly person above who was trying to defend the demented Trump mentioned him at all, but hey, who knows what swirls round in such a 'mind'.

Thinking about it, they aren't really day labourers - although the concept of day labour is a vicious failing of capitalism, thous man and women from DPRK are something far worse - they are outsourced slaves - something that shouldn't be happening anywhere.

They are however able to provide English speakers for key roles like this. The British Council operate in Pyongyang (or did until very recently), as do other training institutions. There are degree courses ar DPRK universities offered in English.
And the waitresses at the state-operated North Korean restaurants in Dubai and elsewhere all speak English nicely.
Why would a day labourer speak to the client? They speak to their Korean supervisor, who speaks to their Korean manager who deals with the client.
North Korea has practically the lowest functional ability in English.

They aren't 'black market' - North Koreans never are. They're hired out by the government there in a form of modern slavery. This has been heavily criticised and as I remember, state companies in Poland had to change the contract. Private companies are not under the same pressure, and of course capitalists will always choose the cheapest and most exploitative option.
No need to hire interpreters; plenty of Koreans speak English as a second language as do many Poles.
Poland and North Korea have always had good official relations, though there is little or no popular affection in Poland for the Kim regime.
The North Koreans are clearly working entirely Black Market

These are great - some excellent music and their last album is very interesting. I cant abide Golec uOrkiestr, but used to enjoy Brathanki.
As I remember, the Trebunia people (aren't they a family?) did a reggae fusion album a couple of decades ago with some Jamaican performers - it worked well.

They do taste better! I can take or leave pierogi most of the time (and generally prefer z mięsem), however at wigilia they do taste great and mustt be meat free!
I even like kutia, though many Poles and Ukrainians I've spent the holiday season with say they don't like it. They still eat it though ;-)
Happy Christmas to all!
And they taste best at this time of the year

It's nice to keep the traditiions of wigilia wherever you are in the world and whatever you're doing. This year I'm spending the holidays on a beach in Senegal (no time to pop back home to Warsaw right now). I'll miss the barszcz and pierogi, but I'll be sure to save a fish scale in my wallet :-)
