Sorry, Delph, but the popular myth in conservative Krakow is that British stag party tourists are the biggest problem of all. :):):):)
I assure you that your fellow countrymen (the American part, not the Ukrainian part) engage in far more depraved things than that in Poland.

British degenerates should stop using Krakow as a place to engage in depravity.

Hmm, doesn't the fact that at least three Polish news sources have covered it mean that it did not go un-noticed?

Somehow certain facts go unnoticed. Wrong!
At 2 am in the Krakow Main Square two British men lured a pidgeon to come closer and then kicked it to death. Aged 28 and 30, were detained and are awaiting trial.
Scandal : The British tortured bird on the Market !
Last night two British decided in a cruel way to kill one of the birds walking on the Main Market Square. I do not know what " tourists " came to mind, but for his cruelty to answer before the court in Poland.
Fuj!

History / Poland: Her heroes and her traitors [221]
YES!!! Jon, I am so glad there are such intelligent guys in PF (to counterbalance certain morons)! :):):):)
Exactly, it gave food to my thought about Polish heroic traitors or trecherous heroes.
Ryszard Jerzy Kukliński (June 13, 1930 - February 11, 2004) was a Polish colonel, Cold War spy and communist whistleblower. He passed top secret Warsaw Pact documents to the CIA between 1971 and 1981. The former United States National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzeziński has described him as "the first Polish officer in NATO."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryszard_Kukli%C5%84ski
After the war, Kukliński began a successful career in the Polish People's Army. In 1968, he took part in the preparations for the Warsaw Pact's invasion of Czechoslovakia. Disturbed by the invasion, and by the brutal crushing of the parallel Polish 1970 protests - in 1972, Kukliński sent a letter to the US embassy in Bonn describing himself as a foreign "MAF" from a Communist country, and requested a secret meeting.[1]
In 1994, Kukliński said that his awareness of the "unambiguously offensive" nature of Soviet military plans was an important factor in his decision to communicate the details of those plans to the United States, adding that "Our front could only be a sacrifice of Polish blood at the altar of the Red Empire".[2] Kukliński was also concerned that his homeland would be turned into a nuclear wasteland as the Warsaw Pact's superiority in conventional forces would mean NATO would respond to a military action with tactical nuclear weapons.
Plans of Polish People`s army`s attack on Western Europe which was supposed to clear the path for Soviet troops:
Polish map--
Neutral plan of 3rd World War - Polish cities would be destroyed by NATO retaliation after German cities were anihilated by Warsaw Pact nuclear strikes.
My personal choice of photos below suggests that I consider him a hero:
Ryszard Jerzy Kukliński
Unfortunately, many Poles consider him a traitor
Kościuszko is a controvercial figure to me. He fought for Poland hard but after defeat and last partition, he emigrated and didn`t return to Poland when part of it became liberated by Napoleon in early 19 century.
Both hero and traitor?
Kościuszko emigrated to the United States, but the following year returned to Europe and in 1798 settled in Breville, near Paris. Still devoted to the Polish cause, he took part in creating the Polish Legions. Also, on October 17 and November 6, 1799, he met with Napoleon Bonaparte. However, he failed to reach any agreement with the French leader, who regarded Kościuszko as a "fool" who "overestimated his influence" in Poland (letter from Napoleon to Fouché, 1807).
Kościuszko's heart, Royal Castle, Warsaw
Kościuszko remained politically active in Polish émigré circles in France and in 1799 was a founding member of the Society of Polish Republicans. However, he did not return to the Duchy of Warsaw and did not join the reborn Polish Army allied with Napoleon. Instead, after the fall of Napoleon's empire in 1815 he met with Russia's Tsar Alexander I in Braunau. In return for his prospective services, Kościuszko demanded social reforms and territorial gains for Poland, which he wished to reach as far as the Dvina and Dnieper Rivers in the east.

Going about 40 kilometers out of Krakow allows you to meet a nice brown bear. Wild.
In the Great Książ near Krakow hunters hunt bear. Predator has already been filmed and photographed. Bear probably wandered into the area of the Beskid Mountains and the Tatra Mountains.
The bear, the spotted and photographed from the pulpit by one of the hunters, is a 2-3 year old male. The animal can weigh up to 100 pounds. According to the hunters, he sojourned from the Tatras or Beskid and looks for his territory. It feeds now apples and corn.

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1400]
Come on, if you expected some cosmic food, you were wrong. :):):):)
We were in the countryside which, traditionally in that area, has had modest culinary customs for centuries, due to various reasons. We go there every year to get this food because I am tired of fancy stuff I have in Krakow.
To be honest, in our village we paid 50 zlotys per person/day for accomodation and three meals.
Rybnik, today I set 6 big jars of beets. To quicken the fermentation, I used butter milk instead of rye bread. And I put less beet into jars to avoid the syrup-like liquid which is not my taste after all. Mineral water adds healthy minerals.
Looks a bit boring, to be frank.
