USA, Canada / Anglo-mangling of Polish surnames in the US/Canada [22]
Once here in Krakow I had to "change" my name into £ukasz because I didn't have time to explain to the drunk guy who asked me for a cigarette where I come from and why my name is so weird ( for poles ).Funny thing though, he said that I have the same name as his brother so he stayed there talking and talking till the time somebody proposed him a bottle of vodka.
This is what people with foreign names do in Poland.
