Life / Exam for Drivers License in Poland; English? [99]
I passed on the third time - the driving was more difficult than theory; fortunately I took a couple of *private lessons* with the instructor who "was said to knew the examinator" -- maybe it helped? :)
For American friends here I should mention that in Poland there are not so many one-way streets; streets are not that wide; and you had to drive a stick-shift. When I was passing the exam you were supposed to drive the examiner's car - usually the one you have seen and driven for the first time in your life :).

I know a good one (in Polish) -- I was told this in my school years and I'll remember it until the rest of my life... since it was pretty much embarrasing to hear that in the presence of 20 other students. I tried to be funny and one of the girls told me: "Ale zes zablysnal jak widly w gnoju." Don't know how to properly translate it though (help :).

I think you should still be fine in Warsaw as it's the fastest developing city in Poland. If you need more "fresh air" Gdansk or Krakow will be good choices for sure..

Zajebista/zajebiscie/zajebisty are slogan, swear words. Actually you could also translate it using only one word: "great" or "awsome," but since the term "zajebista" derive from the swear words "jebac" [to fcuk] or "zajebac" [to fcuk up, fcuk], the best Polish translation is "fcuking great" or "fcuking awsome."

As far as I know "Lubicz" is sort of famous surname in Poland - I think it belongs to "aristocracy or royal people" clan... I think there's an old movie or TV series on the "Lubicz" family. If not, there must be a book on that.
