Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]

There is a whole world outside of Poland full of smiling people and 30 day exchange policies on defective goods.

I forgot about that one. Anyone tried taking defective goods back to M1, they look at you like you have two heads!

Life / Are foreigners welcome in Poland? [267]

I disagree that they find it hard to be into families...

Me too, I have Polish friends, and I get along great with their extended families, grandmothers, mothers all of them. Polish people are quite sensitive and perceptive, I have found this no matter which area of Poland they are from. Maybe during communism they had to be like this, but if they like someone, they like someone. I think that they are a great judge of character, and observe things that other people in western societies may miss.

News / Dalai Lama says: "POLAND HAS RETAINED ITS SPIRIT" [77]

Poland ranks amongst thsoe countries that despite all the vicissitudes has retained its spirit."

I would agree with this, I thing also Poland has retained its individualism, despite everything that has happened. Maybe I have said this a few times on this forum, but once you reallly know a Polish person, you know a polish person! they don't open up easily, but once they do they really trust you. However, they have done all the groundwork beforehand they don't trust just anyone, they know when someone is genuine when they tell you everything. I think that I was accepted into many places that non-poles were not accepted because of just the way that I am. They have a great spirit and are very passionate about certain things.

Travel / Which tennis resorts or tennis hotels are good in Poland? [2]

Sopot has really good tennis courts, but not the full package, you would have to rent a hotel or apartment and have private lessons, still quite cheap in comparison to other countries. If you do find a good tennis holiday in poland let me know. I suspect you are looking for something like the club med of Poland?
