Off-Topic / To ALL IMMIGRANTS ("expats") to Poland on this forum... [124]
What did you expect?I meet many of these ppl.They acctually call themselves "Pollacks".It goes like this:they "Where you from?" I "I am from Poland" they "Oh I am Pollack too!"I "No,you may be Pollack but I am a Pole".The way they picture life in PL is:Poles wear national dresses daily,eat nothing but "kielbasy","pirogis"and "holubki"(gołąbki), ride horse wagons and dance polka all day long.(NONE of them belived that I don't know how to dance polka).They mostly nice ppl but don't know much about life in PL.
I remember an American who used to work for me getting really upset by all the modern buildings and Italian restaurants in Warsaw - he expected PL to look the way his granny had described her village.
