Life / I saw Polish nationalism today [263]


Those nationalists who turn into neo nazis don`t care what splinter their ideology used to be. They only care about their nationalism which in extreme cases turns into neo nazism. You are such an example.

News / Famous Poles die - your memories [112]

Krzysztof Krawczy, pop singer. I remember him best from 1970s when his songs were very popular coz the communist radio played them all the time. He probably died of covid complications.

Travel / What is the ugliest city or town in Poland? [89]

But they have a medieval Main Square in Chrzanów at least. So, they are not so tragic.
For me, an ugly town or city is the one which hasn`t got such a Square - it applies to most industrial settlements built in 19-20 century. Even Łódż is ugly to me.

Life / Communion money in Poland [27]


Yes, godparents are supposed to give such an amount if they are considered well-off by the rest of the family. If not, 500 will be enough. That is why I have always tried to avoid being a godfather - coz I am mean. :):)

Life / Mulberry trees not only in Poland. [16]

There is one problem, though. White mulberry fruit looks like a catterpillar or another larva to me. Whenever I see a picture of it, it reminds me of an insect.

Hint: it is empty.

Food / Is brain-damaging vegan fad growing in Poland? [176]


Why brain damaging? If you have a suitable blood group like A, you thrive on veg, fruit, beans and other plant products. Like me - I eat meat and sausage but only by tradition - I have days when I consume only veg and feel great - my brain is doing fine, as you can see.

Life / Mulberry trees not only in Poland. [16]


I planted two on the farm: black and white, but they are still too little to give fruit, of course.
In my childhood I tried the fruit only once - it was on holiday to another city. I liked it (black variety) but wasn`t really fascinated.

Yes, they must be rare coz you can`t buy the fruit practically anywhere - I have never seen it.
But I read a few articles about their beneficial influence.

This thread is very useful - we can share our experiences about fruit in our lives.
