Why Do You Love Poland?

@bullfrog I am in my late 20's

and i'll take that as a compliment i guess ??

@ogumba: I was thinking of warszawa too but I have friends in Krakow :)

I love Poland and i think this is one of the most beautiful countries in europe , i don't care if people criticize me ( so far I've only received support instead of criticism ).

Yes , you are receiving these compliments from a non-resident of the country , and many more non-residents agree with me. Thanks to the welcoming people , environment and beauty of Poland i have fallen in love with the country :)

It is indeed! Now what agency do you work for? On whose payroll? ;) ;)

love poland for its culture, and for its people that have always been kind :)

Got no other choice... Jestem Polakiem. If I was Pakistani, I'd love Pakistan!

I love Poland because it's full of wonderful Poles!

Just spent a lovely week in Warsaw, back in Norway now suffering post-Poland depression. I'm glad i found this forum.

I love Poland because of beautiful nature and "przyjazny ludzi" :)
My Polish classmates are so friendly. So I love Poland! ^^

The best part of Poland is when you're at Balice airport in Krakow, boarding your flight OUT of Poland .... ahhhh, the relief of getting out and going somewhere better, anywhere better ... priceless!!

I don't know about present-day Polish life but I shared your relief back in the commie days ;)

Then why didn't you study in the US or anywhere else?As an American you were free to leave anytime or even don't come over at all. You received your education in "the commie Poland" so it doesn't really seem to me you have a reason to talk *************** scum.

Struck a nerve did I?

Kind of.I just don't like ungreatfull scum like you.Answer my question "Who or what forced you to study in Poland"?I understand you were too poor to study in your country so you studied in mine.That's ok but this commie Poland gave you education and instead of showing some appreciation you talk ****.

You are 100 % right . . The guy received his degree for free in "commie " Poland and does not appreciate that , although he built his life on that base .



It is so sad , because you seem to be Polish by birth . If you don`t like Poland why are you keep coming ? To get some masochistic experiences ?

Rybnik - you have posted some pictures and comments about Poland lately and I have read some of them .

My opinion is such : there were better and worse times in Poland`s history but I bet most of the Polish citizens didn`t view Poland in such a sad way as you did in your comments about Poland in the 80-ies .

Some American cities like Bay City or Ditroit and its citizens didnt look much better or had much better lives than Poles in that era . The ghetto style life is widespread in USA among many Americans not always everything looks so perfect in your country too.

I know I am right.Was the life in commie Poland "a walk in a park" or not,it doesn't matter,he didn't have to be there.He went and studied there voluntarly therfore I don't think he has any right to complain.I am 100% sure that if I went to US and talk the **** he does about Poland,he would tell me "You don't have to be here,you can leave at any time so love it or leave it".

Both you and Polmed need to take a deep breath and relax. All I said was that at the end of each and every school year I couldn't wait to go home. None of you bothered to ask "why?"

Secondly, had you read some of my earlier posts, you would've read repeatedly how grateful I am to Poland for training me in medicine (actually it's in this thread).

Thirdly, my medical school education was not free.
You and Polmed need to harness in your aspersions-casting reflexes.

Oh , really , how much did you pay for 6 years of education ? A monthly salary of an average Pole was 20 $ at that time . So , it cost your parents peanuts to educate you in Poland .

Your comments were full of such a trauma you have gone through while living in Poland that you don`t have to explain yourself now . I understood clearly your hidden disgust and disrespect of my country .

I am relaxed , no worries .

BTW I am proud to be Polish and I love my country no matter what you think and whenever I come back here from vacations spent abroad ( sometimes , I spend my vacations in Poland too - with pleasure ) I appreciate mu country even more .

Maybe you wanted to see Madonna concerts.

lol....something like that

I love Poland for its mixture of contrasts, e.g. post-communist grey ugly buildings and the breathtaking corners of the country, slightly moany but friendly and witty people, exquisite cuisine and many more things. :)

After many months in Poland.

First do not love Polish winter, even though am told this last was mild.

But the winter helped me enjoy the wonderful spring weather, while it lasted.

First as said many many times. Polish women are a very special kind of lady. They are to be appreciated for their intelligence, beauty, and joyful spirits. But they like many in the east can be crazy for us men for the west so come with a warning label. :)

I was mostly in Warsaw and fell in love with the parks. I loved the ease at which you can by a flower for your lady.

I am a beer lover so never had to go far.

Poland is great. It does have many many hard edges it must said but for another thread.

I love Polish winters.. when they are real winters (ie -10/-15C with blue sky). One of the things I miss since moving to Zürich..

bullfrog


Yes, Germany is not so far away.

Yes winters are good IF you have a heavy warm coat....

I will admit Germany is my favorite been country and one reason thinking of moving south to Wroclaw in the Fall, closer the beer heaven.

I love Poland because Polish guys are very helpful ;)

Exactly.

How can I help you?

Sol Campbell compares Poland and UK

Well I love it maybe because I am Polish O.O
Lived there for a good while, its my blood, my parents, grandparents lived and fought for the nation.
Love the history.

Hell Im in Canada I find myself cheering more for Poland than Canada.

3 words:

Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna

S£AWA BOGOM I PRZODKOM!!

Sounds Catholic tradition.


Sounds pagan tradition.

Or am I wrong?

Yes you are. Faith and traditions are essential building blocks for the society to work for the greater good of one’s homeland, even the ancients knew that. The former is just a bit modernized version of the latter conveying the same massage. Many people today, especially the politicians are eager to see Poland only as one of the "lands" in secular EU equating the first with Catholicism and second with Paganism making them both seem as an outdated concept in the process, but is it?

I love Poland so much, that after I sell my home, here in the U.S.A. I will movet to Poland to retire. The place of all my grandparents, and a place where people still care for one another, and try and help when they can. And, also, the women, are outstanding.
