USA, Canada / Sending Mail from USA to Piekielnik, PL and back [6]

Well, you'd have to know what the rate would be to send a letter to the USA.

Just return an envelope with your address and USA at the bottom

Put POLAND after Piekielnik

History / Polish weapons and militaria - got any? [153]

Ozi

Have you looked on Ebay? Also, I've been to several antique shops in Poznan and some of them had old PL military items.

Wroclaw boy: I have a Nazi WW2 flag that my grandfather captured. I think there's also SS blood on it. No chance of giving that up though :) Let the guy have his thread. Everyone has Nazi memoribilia, they were losers. You can buy that stuff online. I think there's a lot in Russia too.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]

Yeah, you have to be. I moved to somewhere the pay rates were better. It's just a smart move if you have a family or if you want money to enjoy life :)

I love the Polish.

We know.

Besides, never know who you're REALLY related to ;)

Polonia / Polish Zloty Can't Exchange in France!.. [24]

France is visited more than any other country

I'm sure it is. Like M says...art, wine, cheese filet minon ;) What more can you ask for? Not sure about their beer though.

It's possible that not enough PL bring zloty into the country. When I travelled with my gf's family, they always exchange currency before leaving the country. I'd imagine this would also be done at the Airport.

It's not only France. We have a large PL population in NJ, but I can't exchange in a Bank of America or Commerce. If I go to a PL neighborhood, maybe one of their banks would. It's not common here anyway.

Life / Fashion and Style in Poland [174]

Ok. The skaters/emo's wear girls jeans and are a xtra- slim fit. I think he's talking about grown men that wear jeans they've worn since elementary school.

WEll, there are fat girls everywhere, so I hope it doesn't disappoint you when you see them in Poland too. Yes, there quite a few attractive women and your eyes can be busy. Juust remember to keep your tongue in your mouth...and mind your drooling ;)

That's Poznań-Krzesiny Airbase. The Poznan £awica (Intl. Airport) was also an airforce base and also the oldest in Poznan.
There are a few Americans as well as other international students. I've run into Americans, but not as many as I thought I would. Last trip I didn't hear/see any. Are you worried about not being able to communicate? Believe me, it's nice to get away from Americans ;)

You have to put a crushed vanilla stick to alcohol first and leave for two days, then grind yelks with
sugar add boiled (but cold) milk then slowly add alcohol, you have to beat whole mixture while doing it
otherwise bad things will happen, then bottle that mixture and leave in dark place for few hours.

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]

Nice 1 Z_D

How about..

Malinówka:

1 liter Spirytus 95%
1/2 liter Vodka
1 kg Raspberries
1 kg sugar

Place berries (don't have to be Raspberries and time frame can be longer depending on fruit) in lg glass jar and add spirits. Let sit for 2-3 weeks shaking twice daily.

After that, empty liquids using cheese cloth (may take some time) and place in seperate bottle/s.

Add sugar to fruit and leave for another 2-3 weeks shaking twice daily. Leave in warm place...maybe sun or near heat. Don't cook.

Once the time is up you'll see that all of the sugar has liquified and this liquid has to be poured off using the cheesecloth. This may take longer being that the liquid is a sweet syrup.

Combine sweet liquid to the alcohol that was initially removed and place in bottles. Leave the bottles in a dark place for a few days and you'll see that the sediment has settled to the bottom. Pour off the clear liquid and bottle seperately. You now have your own Nalewka :) Smacznego!!

** If you'd like to use cherries, the time will change to 4 weeks. Also, please try to find Wisnia (sour cherry) as these are the best for this.

Miodowka (honey vodka)

3-4 lg spoons of honey (pref. wielokwiatowy-Multi flower) I also add 1/2 spoon of gryczany (buckwheat)

****The better the honey the better the miodowka****
3-4 Cloves
3-4 cups water

Boil water and add the honey until both are mixed well and honey is liquid. Let cool.

Add 1/2 liter of Spirytus (if you want strong, add a little more)

Place in bottle/s and let sit in dark place for a week or more until sediment has settled ( is better with time ).

Pour off clear liquid, bottle and enjoy!!!

By the way its the 95% stuff.

Yeah...there really is no other. I've never heard of 80% spirytus...that's just vodka)

Food / Poland Spirytus recipes [39]

I have recipes for a few different types of nalewka. What type of liquor do you want to make?

The above way is a quick way, but probably won't taste as good as properly prepared Wiśniówka

Study / Living in POZNAN in the Eskulap dormitory - big deal? [47]

im considering moving to poznan for work and im a young guy so..how is the party scene here? are there alot of young people? how are the girls? where i live, better looking girls are hard to come by...i dont want to move to more of the same thing!

The party scene is nice. There's a good variety of clubs/pubs and there's a good chance you'll find something to your liking. There are a lot of young people and a beautiful girl will not be hard to come by at all. If you're from the US you'll notice that the ratio of women to men is the opposite :) you'll have a good time......guaranteed.

What are you into? There are a few suggestions somewhere in the forum, so let me know what you're looking for.

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]

Humboldt....been there done that. Yeah, it's good, but VT is still cheaper and just as dank as in CA. I used to live in SF and Rocky, that's not entirely true. Yes, there are nugs all over and the police don't really focus on this, but you can't smoke in front of them unless you want to lose your stuff. VT is same quality and much much cheaper. PS your indoor Hydro isn't all that good.

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

There is a simple answer to all this.

Like the taxes they pay right? I know plenty of people working, going to school and paying the same taxes you do.

What are you trying to acomplish here winston? You need to be discussing this with your govt.

Newsflash::::People come here to learn about Poland:::::
