Musical abortion.

Love / Are Polish Girls scared of English Guys [124]

I heard on here that they all (including my fiancee) love Turks.

Life / COMBATING "POLACK" JOKES [460]

Or one could just grow a pair and not get bent out of shape over a joke.

Language / Is math in Polish different than in English? [59]

All I know is that they use commas instead of decimal points. When I first went to the grocery I was shocked to find that bread cost 3,000 złots!

Life / Why there is always around a horrible smell of sweat in Poland [188]

I haven't noticed it here...and I've spent plenty of time with villagers.

Language / Bought "Rosetta Stone" software and trying to learn Polish... [59]

I have it. It's pretty good.

History / Life in communism vs democracy in Poland [234]

So thats why our floor is peeling! I thought it was my office chair.

Don't get me started on our flat. In the bathroom hot means cold. There are vents that don't go anywhere. Some of the light switched are backwards. Locks are installed upside down. The tub was caulked over the wallpaper...although I think it might be due to copious amounts of vodka rather than Communism.

There are pros to Communism?

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [199]

I use Pole because saying "polish people" is too long. Its like calling Blacks in the states "African Americans". I wouldn't expect someone to call me a Scottish person or an American when they can just say Yank or Mick (or sh*thead).

That being said, I was told that "pollack" just means male Pole and I use it extensively. Is someone playing a mean joke on me?

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

hmmm...I work for myself and have clients in the states, etc. with only a small amount of clients (small like one, so far) in Poland. Pretty sure I'll be alright money-wise but got to wonder what the tax issues are.

Life / Computer stores and computer prices in Wroclaw [12]

Thanks for the link. Looks like I'll be buying all my computer needs in the states.

History / What was the culture of Poland prior to the advent of Catholicism? [17]

Wow. I just came on here to ask if there was a prevalent worship of the old gods in Poland and this thread is on top. Talk about synchronicity. So...why start a new thread?

Is there any noteworthy return to the old gods in Poland? Are there any groups practicing the worship of Perun, etc.? How about the Germanic gods like Odin, Thor, etc.?

sui generis...I don't know if Poland is considered Slavic but you might want to look en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_mythology and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_mythology.

What about for us mac folks?

Nothing, eh?

Are Apple computers a big thing in Poland?

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]


haha, I've been asked that a few times. Thats what I get for being in the states.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.


Canada is the greatest US state there is.

Study / Studying in Poland in English [35]
