Life / Polish and Czechs [191]

They ripped u off, the bar I went to was the real deal, the real McCoy. It's not really a trippy thing like Nepalese Black, more of a light-headed hazy, drifty thing.

It would be interesting to see u alongside me after 5 shots of the stuff I had. U wouldn't be gone but u would probably be buzzed.

Absinth is fantastic. I had it in Prague, got mightily merry on it. It was expensive but cost was the last thing on my mind. U pay for quality these days. Beherovka is decent too. No substitute for real absinth tho, I still have their business card as a memory, I'm surprised I remembered anything at all.

The Magyars are an interesting bunch, one of the most enigmatic. They are friendly and I admire them. Some great chessplayers

Leichtenstein too. Back to the thread, we'll see the full extent of the rivalry in the football as they are in the same group. The Poles have nice women but I saw many stunners in the Czech Republic too.

More or less the same language, not really, it's from the same school of languages but there are clear differences. I can understand parts of Czech radio but not so much. In my experience, they see Poles as domineering. They resent the Poles seeing themselves as superior. Many Poles I've asked don't like them either.

It doesn't augur well for a future Slavic pact

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Hehehe, like the patient who went to the doctor and said, 'Doctor, I haven't been feeling myself lately', to which the doctor replies, 'well, my job here is done'. I actually made that one up myself but I'm sure it has been thought of b4

I could easily write nothing and raise no pulses or tempers but Sausage has a point. In my experience anyway, I have found this to be true, EVERYWHERE I've been so it wasn't a hack at Polish women.

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

Many Poles I know do smile and have a GSOH but I have to agree that too many have dejected looks on their faces. This is a view shared by most foreigners here. I just get peeved when it becomes fashionable to have this 'mina' on u.

Language / Polish Swear Words [1242]

The funniest was at football games, 'stawaj ty chuju kurwa' was a fan favourite. Sorry, I just don't feel the strength of these words, they're amusing

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]

Gifts could be good vodka. A traditionally English gift would be appreciated. The Poles quite like tea so roll with that. Or a nice cutlery set straight from Sheffield
