Genealogy / Polish looks? [1462]


there is as there is a German look and many others. I am able to recognize a foreigner almost right away in Szczecin by the way they carry themselves. It is a combination of things including living in a different society, wearing different clothes, making different money, being relaxed and comfortable with themselves, and being a tourist. I am also able to recognize a Polish person when abroad; physical features and different behavior.

well, in the past there was no need to get drunk. First class trolls made the day on PF;)

Life / Moving to Wroclaw, Need Fly Threads [16]

you should get a room then;)

News / Polish language diacritical marks at risk! [20]

I have not been using them for ages and once in Poland most people I communicate with via mobile don't use them. That doesn't mean that I am losing the ability to use them. It doesn't happen that fast. However communication in more then one languages makes using them difficult.

Food / "Poland - it's the new Provence of food" [56]

Poland is not Provance and everybody knows it, however there are many new trends emerging when it comes to food, even though with mixed results. It is getting better, but it will take time.

Life / Men in Poland in the forest? Just men? [133]

finally a voice of reason.

However, I really enjoyed reading this thread.

The speculations were really well thought through and the presentations were very up to the international standards. I really liked the Asian spin.

We are squatting in front of computers, but it has nothing to do with being Asian;)

Life / Grass is always greener? Poland experience. [69]


it is the price of the land that makes the difference, so YES Poland is still cheaper. Houses are more solid then the Canadian ones for sure.

History / How I blew a 6 figure grant for my charity because of my appreciation of Polish history... [77]


merely by your past association with Poland. I had a Jewish boss and merely by the association with Poland, not to mention my Ukrainian roots I was a target of his hate. That is life- fair or not. He is pulling the strings, but would you rather get the money form somebody who is a bit more objective? Or it doesn't matter? People who are doing charities need to be really grounded in reality, not in the past.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

there is none. I get headaches after drinking most of Polish beers.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]


the problem with Polish beer is its luck of consitency. When I find the one I like it changes the taste. In other countries the breweries have been developing the recipes for years. Here in Poland it is not the case and the beer making tradition is a very short one, so you can "have a nice day" me all you want, but that is the reality. I know that small breweries try to portray it otherwise, but I am not fooled by it. They have to compete with large beer companies.

Sure there is Perla, which Harry has been talking about for a while- I tried it and wasn't taken at all, so beer, as many other edible or drinkable things are a matter of TASTE.

should not be the case IMO

Some of you may remember Szarlotka, who has started this thread. His abouts remains uknown, but I suspect that he moved into a small inn above the beer parlor somehwere in the South of England in order to stay close to his beer/golf friends and visits his home on weekend in order for his wife not to noticed that he moved out.

I myslef have replaced him for a few posts, but as you can see the man is NOT coming back. There are more imprtant things in life then writing for a third grade forum with the trafic speed close to internet connection during the Nixon time.

I have been busy with may things, rethinking the meaning of life, trying to figure out how to avoid Polish crowds during the summer (extremly warm and pleasant) and cleaning after my somewhat crazy cats.

Who is still around?
The two Stooges are still typing away as if there is no tomorrow and no life in such great cities as Warsaw and Poznan.
Well, I almost forgot about Pawian – he is in another great city in Poland and banned himslef for a while, but he is back, as crisp and as ready as always.

What makes a man a Pole? Well, I think that if you stand around for a while you become one regardless of nationality.
Private swimming lessons. Gone are the days of private tennis lessons.

How do guys from Poland flirt? A Duch beauty has hots for a Polish bloke who smiles widely and streches his muscles in a gym. A difficult one since Duch are probably one of the most forward nations and this girls has no idea how to read a Pole. Lets wait for his move. It is possible that he doesn't know the language. I recommend winking with Polish guys. If he doesn't react, start pretending that you have a fruit fly in the eye.

That is it folks. The forum is so slow that I might write another update next year. Asta la vista.
