Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]

if you want to come south there is a polish dziupla in melbourne once a month at the end of each month.

Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]

Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]


being from melbourne i am not sure what is available up in sydney but the polish clubs (like community centre's) usually have a restaurant area.

there is a restaurant in melbourne that is called "borsch, vodka and tears" if you are ever down this way.

there is also a polish deli at the vic market.

Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]

that is true.

and there is even a festival celebrating everything polish in november, the link is:

.polishfestival.com.au/


i live in the north east, the vic market would be the closest, especially working in the city.

well, poles do come from a cooler climate so that could explain why there are more poles down south.

but that said, the temperatures between melbourne and sydney do not differ much.

and a trip down our great ocean road or to wilsons promitory may change your mind about great beaches

Australia / Polish community in Sydney, Australia [93]


i would have thought ocean grove and the like would have been okay to swim in over summer.

down the mornington area over summer the water isnt that cold, but maybe im used to it.

yep, caught it and was laughing.

not as good as the mufti muzzle, the secret, community service announcements, etc

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]


Yes, Sayno, i am from melbourne.

My parents think the best polish food is athe polish club in albion. If you want something more commercial then try borsch, vodka, tears. They have a website, just google the name. There is also a place called chesters out in the east that my brother happened upon.

there is also a polish dance every month and if you can read polish it is at:

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]

would it make a difference if they did not....god forbid that you would have to purchase coffee from a non franchised chain

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


rule of thumb when in the UK, be wary if a UK resident is making your coffee. they are better at cups of tea than coffee.

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


i was unaware that the english were known for their coffee skills. maybe things have changed since i was their 5 years ago. but back then i lost count of the crap coffees i was served.

i think australia has more knowledge in the coffee department, and drink more per capita than any other country.


as i just posted,i was there 5 years ago and decent coffee was hard to in shops that served coffee. it all really hinges on the preparer, if they dont know what they are doing then you are in trouble.

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


you dont also sometimes add sugar as well do you....gasp


taught us the art of tea maybe, the coffee thang would be a more migrant (im guessing italian) influence.


it did not matter if i paid more or less, instant coffee was more gratifying taste wise than a cappucino.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

i dont think polak is derogatory at all.

i have even seen an accounting firm called "pol-acc", quite funny actually.

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]


Well, one would ask if there were any cafes, not a specific chain that is globalised beyond belief.

And some of starbucks practices, ie not getting permits and setting up shop are highly questionable.
