thank you. Maybe you can share your Polish shopping experience? I am in a process of reviewing my Polish bus trip to Greece. Just need to do some polishing;).

to make your day is a pleasure to me:)

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]


please elaborate. I used to read RzP years ago, but then it was different.

News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]


well, there is some truth to it, it is indeed a very well oiled machine and its reach is worldwide, so I would not underestimate its influence on the world values. It is not about blaming but stating the fact. Pol3 always has bad connotation regardless whether it is American or not:)

and whose attention are you trying to get? Anyways, if you really want attention paint yourself in British racing red and walk around the city, that should do the trick;)

Food / Polish Duck Soup [117]


is the key word here. I have never tasted it, but you need to understand that there is a lot of food being altered by the immigration. It is a normal process. I really liked pierogies with sour cream, which are only served to my knowledge in Canadian environment. It appears that some food is more popular abroad then in its native country eg. pizza, pasta - while Italians eat very varied food, that same applies to Polish food, which, like every food it regional. Greek food does not limit itself to souvlaki (went to Greece and it was not very popular). The list goes on.

Try to find a connection to your country by other means then just reading Polish Right wing newspapers and ranting on PF about
homosexuals, drugs, feminists and so on :D.

This is probably the longest post directed to you, but I am in a good mood, so I am a bit more tolerant today, usually I have you on the ignore list. It is a slow day;)

Food / Pinto beans in Poland [17]

why can't you replace them with white beans, there is plenty in Poland and they are inexpensive.

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

yep

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]


however, it is only a newspaper, right?

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]

whoever controls it, I read it every day since there is no better paper on the Polish market:D.

Travel / Has anyone used OLT Express yet? [8]

the strange thing about the OLT is that I was trying to book the ticket and after 2 hours the price went up, so watch for that !!!!!!!!

I also found out that the existing connection from Szczecin to Poznan will be no longer available as of July.

Travel / Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]

I have flown Easyjet and it had a leak fuel, we had to rebook to another airlines- were too scared with fly with the easyjet back;(.

Travel / Has anyone used OLT Express yet? [8]

I am flying with them in a couple of weeks:)

Food / Your favourite Polish foods! [180]

don't recall that product being sold in Poland;)

Law / Polish speaking business partner [16]

that is a good idea since this forum is a general one. I am sure you will find somebody suitable. Good luck:)

Love / ARE POLISH GIRLS GOLD-DIGGERS? [359]


you need to date women from all the countries in Europe, then you need to compare their behaviour re money grubbing, then you need to report back to us;).

I would like to know too:D. Looking forward to reading your report.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

it is strange that many soccer fans went to South Africa, who has a long history of racism.

Puzzled.

new one from Malenczuk

ooo. long time no see. I have a report from my vacation. Just need to polish it, yes, that's right:). Will post it next week.

It is soon going to be almost 2 years since I arrived

shopping in Poland

You can either shop in the supermarket or go to a veggie stall right around the corner from my place. I usually choose the latter, because, first of all I like small shops and being recognized by the clerk, secondly, the shopping has a personal touch and it is fun.

I get my buns from the bakery around the corner, I get my shoes fixed at the shoe cobbler, I get my meet at the butchers 5 minutes away from my place and the fresh flowers from older retired ladies, who are making some extra cash selling flowers and veggies in front of the grocery store. I used to get my honey supply from a guy who usually sells his stuff there too, but I have not seen hi this year. Everything within 5 minute walk. I love it.

In my father's town I get main supply from the small supermarket, veggies from the local town market, baked goods from the bakery, potatoes from my father's neighbour, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cucumbers and lately rassberries from my father's garden. Mushrooms from the forest and so on. So, as you can see, shopping is a serious business in Poland and one often is criticized when the lady next door finds out that I've served my father ready made pierogies from the supermarket:).

good point, I was just trying to provoke an answer from you and it worked;D


overcompensating a bit on his part.


yes, I remember that you were taken with the Brazilian landscape.


excellent. All the best and keep us posted:D

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

happens on regular basis. There are many old people who don't have a proper care when they are old and this is their way to deal with it. I personally know 2 people who gave the apartments/house to somebody who was looking after them when they were old.

News / Der Spiegel: "Poles are now the masters of Europe" [49]

Poland is a great success in terms of the ongoing changes, however EU countries are in trouble and many other former Eastern European countries have not succeeded as much as Poland has.

In such a company Poland is a success indeed. One has to be realistic and see that it is not all that great for the average Joe.

Off-Topic / PF - The Omnibus Edition [1502]

no men's land.

This is what Omnibus has been for some time since Sharly decided to open up another brewery, so he can sample the beer for free. The economic hardship has reached the UK too, or maybe he just cannot be bothered to go to the pub, since nobody can win the game of darts with him anymore - what is the fun in this anyways. The must be a British thing, because I watched the Tudors last night and Henry always liked to win in card games - at least that is what his new wife heard about him, according the the scrip. I personally watch the Tudors, because I like the costumes. I am sure that the costume designer has Polish roots since there is no one better among other nations to create such a beauty as Polish set and costume designers. You can see it for yourself when you happen to get those free tickets for Euro 2012 at your work place, since all the other workers have already planned their vacation in other less attractive parts of the world, and you can only wonder why they don't know what is best for them.

Not to mention the Polish Euro songs. You cannot wait to see and hear this one:



Polish creativity has no bounds:



What is new on PF?

I have no idea, since I don't come here very often. The balcony needs tending, the growing grass needs to be watched and I am very busy and important, especially when I go clothes shopping. I am in Poland after all and I have finally adjusted.

The usual offenders are still suspended and there is a need for another moderator on PF. Is it because with all the suspensions, also the mods got a red card and are not coming to play anymore. I really don't know.

It is possible that Wildrover is in Russia and he is shaking hands with Putin as we speak.

It is possible that Harry has opened a good steak restaurant in Warsaw and it too busy waiting tables, or too busy preparing for the foreign Euro crow.

Sharly wants to have 50 pages on this thread and I am just helping him to get there as soon as possible and I have to fill it in with something.

Later.........

USA, Canada / Living in Poland - prospects for Alabama guy ... need some advice! [146]


the dynamic will change for sure, but calling Jason a loser because he doesn't want to teach English is a bit too far in my opinion. He seems to have a source of income, so he doesn't really have to work - how does that make him a loser?

Jason, the only problem with your wife seems to be the fact that she is homesick and she doesn't get along with your mother. Is there anyways that their relationship can be improve? She is in Poland now, then she is coming back. I am sure she wants to be in Poland because she is homesick, but she is also your wife and she knew that she would be leaving Poland behind.

I think you should both work on your partnership and it is an ongoing process. I hope your wife is not some kind of Polish spoiled princes, but a responsible woman. Maybe you both some growing up to do in a sense of thinking of what you both want vs what you can have. There is also a child. Is there a chance that she is having a postpartum depression?

Off-Topic / I am Polish and I am offended. [52]


isn't it easier just to ask? I didn't ask to be analyzed.

I don't understand why some people who are not even connected to Poland get so easily offended at any mention of Poland, which is not congruent with the way the see Poland, which is often unrealistic to say the least. Can you answer this question Natasa? I cannot answer it, therefore the thread.

Off-Topic / I am Polish and I am offended. [52]


lately my cognitions deviates towards chasing the pigeons off my balcony since I am getting ready for the season:)

I don't really want to hold your attention any longer on my person, since this was not my intention when I was creating the topic. Thanks for your interest in my personal characteristics.


I am pretty sure the was.
