Life / Polish folklore/legends [58]

Well, Wiki can be your friend!

A collection of Polish Folklore
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_folk_beliefs - check the bottom for some English titles that may be available at your local library

Then there is the story of a mysterious black limo

Also, check out the story about a Duck living beneath a castle, with fabulous riches.

It will be an incremental process and they have plenty of time to eradicate it should they choose to do so.

Not likely that they will choose to do so.

Europe is worthy of admiration for perserving so many homogenous groups for so long a period

And that period is coming to an end.

Truly phenomenal when compared to the rest of the world.

African tribes have been around a long time, no?

this could be alarming for some.

Yes, quite alarming.

You go to the US, Mexico or Canada, you are going to hear mostly English, French and Spanish

Come to Toronto. You will experience more than 100 of the world's languages.

French, the British, the German, the Italians, the Spanish...the Irish

But all of those nations seem to be having intershmingling with non-indiginous peoples going on....

It's not a big melting pot like certain countries.

Been there lately?

If it is allowed it's going to encourage radical elements in the homogenous populations across Europe.

Seriously, are there any left?
