History / Civilian life in Poland (Krakow) during the WW2. [30]

My grandma was living in Cracov during german occupiation of the city and its liberation by russians. From what she said she and her family got fake work permissions from some AK friends. They were living in a flat along with 3 older sisters, these sisters were building bombs and granades for the AK and at one time there was a wounded AK soldier living with them there. From what I remember about things regarding civilian life, it was all going to work and coming back home, there were constant checks and inspections on the streets... I could probably ask more...

News / The best Poland ever? [125]



Right, good one, uneducated people vote for pis, uneducated people follow the voice of populism.
Some of the people who refrain from voting are really lazy therefore probably uneducated and stupid.
Some of them are educated and take a conscious choice not to vote.


Just because there was a tendency of getting high education which for 60% of these people is just a cheap piece of paper, you can't say that is actually means anything. It doesn't, there are morons getting management degrees from shady schools, from schools which will allow anyone to study and get the degree, going through courses on weekends.

My gf has got family there, says it's a place from which youngsters are rather moving out than staying. She says it is a place attractive to live in but not to work. You know fresh air, nice sights. But all her cousins from Sanok went for work to Cracov or outside of Europe.. so I'd rethink this choice if I were you.

Decent people know that if there is a foreign guest they should use the language which the guest knows best. , Knowing that you will feel like an outsider. they should have a friendly chat with you and try to entertain you.

Except for the fact, as I mentioned earlier, they don't have enough power to do so. As for now they are only a threat to their own folk.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1694]

Doesn't North Korea pose a thread? This guy is same as Kim just without the warheads. Someone should react when there's smoke and before there is fire.
