Life / Boże Ciało (Corpus Christi) - a beautiful celebration in Catholic Poland [22]
These are work of arts.I always admired them.
My mum told me that for the first time there wasn't any decorations on my street. Even though I'm no church supporter I do feel sad that with falling believers numbers those things will disappear too.
I posted 4 photos of floral carpets used to pave the way for the procession

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]
Our thinking process?
I remember being taught that the real accomplishment is to make your language cleaner, simpler and clearer even if talking about complicated things.
what then separates us from the four-legged variety of animal?

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]
That is what my English teacher once said comparing English and German:
English is easy at first and then it becomes hard. German start very hard but then it's much easier.
In my experiencea lot of employers are quite clueless about what they need ( Poland was very bad in that respect)
True but usually there is not much need.
English has very few barriers to entry early on. But ease of entry tends to coincide with greater barriers later on

but that's not what most employers want....

Study / Humanities no longer in the top 10 of the most popular fields of study in Poland [36]
Usually somehow it only works one way...
Noone expects humanity inclined person to be good at physics, chemistry etc. Noone is surprised if an intellectual cannot build a bookshelf...
Btw, forcing people to learn something is usually a very crap strategy and a waste of time

I always found it funny how people used their preference as some gospel. Someone likes Pizza Hut? Good for them. Someone else prefers some small local pizzeria? Great too.

I'm actually writing to my sis to ask for the recipie I wanted to do it for ages now but never got around to asking (she was the one who was always making it at home). It is a bit of a pain though-to make sure no bones are left :/

Different recipes probably. People always look to improve a bit don't they?
In my family we also add onion and eggs...
(I took a glance at a couple of recipes and they use mayo or yoghurt instead of butter - a new 'healthy' fad I guess)

Don't know about the States but I didn't notice anyone in Poland having problem with that.
It is a bit different than competing against other kids though.
