Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I mean, even you can get a bit rude sometimes. Just like I can, and I think that's alright.

Ditto.... and as for the Americans being rude... depends on the person again, etc etc. I'm from the North and we are much more direct & to the point than the Southern folks. I found the Polish people to be very nice in almost every interaction I've had. Wasn't wild about the time I spent in Britain, frankly, I found the shop keepers rude & lots of people rude. Didn't care for Vienna, either, or any other places in Austria. Same reason.

Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

Hmmm Great ideas, everyone. Actually I know the little girl pretty well, I have spent a good amount of time with her & we are great friends even though my Polish is horrible & she is still learning English! I am her American Aunt :)

I was thinking some earrings or a bracelet or money... maybe a small gift & some money she can buy something she would like with.

So looking forward to my trip there.

Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

Hello everyone, I am going to be attending a First Holy Communion in May of this year, during my visit to Poland. It will be for my good friend's daughter - the family I will be staying with. What is an appropriate gift for this occasion?

Also, is it customary that there will be a party or celebration after the church?

Any idea where I can get a nice card in Polish here in the US ?! Thanks so much!!
