Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]

filthy dog, go back to your country"

I don't expect anyone, in this forum, Pole and non-Pole, to tell you to go back to your country. That is your bias view. I know Poles do not have same views. I am not impressed with your knowledge of 4 languages and your travels. Many members of this forum know many languages and traveled to many countries, including myself.

I welcome you to the forum. I once read that people who settled in the area what is now Poland migrated from an area that was called Persia. Who knows? Maybe, your are a distant relative of mine. :P

Life / Doctors taking bribes in Poland [76]

Shut up faggot those communist scare tactics surely work on the average Pole but not me. Whats the bigger crime not paying a bribe and looking on helplessly as a relative lives in agonising pain?

Wroclaw Boy,
Why are you telling Grzegorz to shut up? This forum allows people to express their points of view. I agree with Gzregorz. People that give bribes and people that accept them should be penalized. When you started this post, you said it with pride that you offer bribes while in Poland. Again, you are perpetuating the practice, one that was very common during communism, and there is nothing to be proud of.

(You are still a dumb f... k)

Life / Doctors taking bribes in Poland [76]

I always bribe doctors, as far as im concerned its a neccesity in Poland, not so much for myself as im English.....they do try harder for foreigners - well Western foreingers atleast. But for Polish family members i alwasy bribe and they ALWAYS accept.

Dumb foreign f… like you should discourage such practice and not perpetuate it.

Why are you so proud of your English ways?

Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]

Hi,I will be in warsaw for 3 weeks any good places to eat Indian or Mexican food???fairly decent not expensive?

Consider enjoying Polish local food. Live dangerously, :). Last year, I visited my hometown in Poland. I was disappointed and pissed off. I found many restaurants serving rotisserie chicken, pizza, shishka-bab, etc. and only one restaurant serving Polish food. The restaurant is located near the train station. Unbelievable! In the US, I can have tacos, pizza, etc. anytime and anywhere. But where I live, there are no Polish restaurants.

Travel / Rented car from Germany to Poland [15]

Consider taking a train from Germany to Poland and renting a car in Poland. This is the most parsimonious option.

Work / Is it normal for companies/schools in Poland to be rude? [116]

Hi. I gained my Cambridge CELTA in Poland recently, with a distinction grade.

We are impressed with your Cambridge CELTA with a distinction.
Being rude is Poland's national character, a favorite pastime. Be rude back and you will fit in.

Language / Gospodarzu, dostanę u was trochę jaj? [14]

Both not bad, but I warn you, don't ask like this: "Gospodarzu, macie jaja?" ;-)

You are all wrong. The correct expression is, 'gospodarzu, ale jaja." :)

By responding to TIT’s skewed statements, the members of this forum are promoting, perpetuating his biased views. The appropriate response is no response.

Life / Why so many Poles use a second hands clothes? [110]

People in US, all nationalities, buy and wear clothes purchased in the second hand stores, especially now days when people are experiencing economic hardships.
In US, I have seen many TV adds promoting buying second hand clothes as a frugal and smart thing to do. You should be ashamed of trying to make this into a shameful Polish economic activity.

USA, Canada / CULTURE SHOCK! (of my Polish finance who visited the US) [210]

My Polish fiance just came to the US. First time ever. Talking about Culture Shock!

Krysia,

Where did you bagged your fiance? Was it in the fields, in a small village?

I visited Poland last year and was surprised by the progress.

Poland is a big bad backwater where crime is rife, no one is friendly and there is no hope, only vodka.

Hueg,
Poles will usually try to accommodate foreigners, and will respond and interact with foreigners on their level. When interacting with a “backwater” person, Poles will act like "backwater" people.

USA, Canada / CULTURE SHOCK! (of my Polish finance who visited the US) [210]

krysia
In Polish grocery stores you have to bag your own groceries, in the US they ask "paper or plastic". Another shocking experience!!!!

I visited Berlin during the last summer; there, people bag their groceries too.

Thanks Krysia

News / German legal discrimination against Polish speakers [209]

I have no problem with the German government requiring foreigners to speak German in public when conducting business, public affairs, etc. I wish that the State of Arizona (where I live) and/or US government would implement similar laws. I am f… tired hearing Spanish and listing to the people who can’t speak English; who expect everyone else to accommodate them in Spanish, many of them illegals. Every time I call my bank, I hear recorded messages in English and Spanish. When I receive my voting ballet, it is in English and Spanish, and on and on and on. This issue has been written about in newspapers and raised by many Arizona residents. I understand how the Germans feel. When I immigrated to US, I did not expect everyone in US to accommodate me in Polish. When in Germany, do what the Germans do.

Food / Polish Sour Milk / Maślanka [44]

I just finished drinking a glass of sour milk.

I discovered that sour creams made by certain companies work better when making the sour milk. I do not know why. I use Shamrock Farms sour cream and no fat milk.

One can use regular milk, etc. The secret is finding the right sour cream.
Use 2 table spoons of sour cream and with 24 oz of milk. Stirr the milk with the sour cream in it and let sit for about a 2 days. Use a glass jar, cover the jar with a small plate. Do not refregerate the milk. Once the milk becomes sour, them you can refregerate.
