Is the economy booming over there now, because of all the money they took from here? Why did they escape the world recession?

I mention I came from the same
country where the Pope is from

OMG!!!! There ARE pingwins walking the streets of Poland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are actually still houses with no plumbing and outside toilets!

While looking for a house in Poland I came across an ad for a house that had "gas, water, electricity, telephone, internet, and the possibility to install an indoor toilet"

This one tops the list. I was asked it by an incredibly stupid girl back during uni. Just so happens she was asian, so more than likely doesn't know where europe even is. Im not bad mouthing, its just from experience...no asians whom ive ever known where able to point out europe on a map. Heres the question:

"so how did you survive the war?"

What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

Before I had taken my trip to Poland last year, someone had asked me if I was planning on driving there. DUH! It's not like I live in Europe.

oh god, the worst: "what's the difference between (shoe, nail, etc.) polish and Polish"

WTF?! -__-

well, dunno bout the british pronunciation, but we north americans pronounce the artsy 'polish' with an 'a' sound, like 'Palish'.

What's the stupidest question asked about Poland?

when I was going to school back in the day these were the ones that always raised an eyebrow whenever I told my fellow Americans that I study in Poland:

1)where's Poland?
2) they have medical schools there?
3) they let Americans in? (maybe in hindsight not so stupid)

rybnik,yeah the third question was understandable,considering the time and because of propaganda.

rybnik,I have to admit,that I had always associated communist countries as places of utter despair and loss of hope.Propaganda is a strong tool to use on a young impressionable mind.

yes it is
by the same token, we Americans were exhausted after awhile dispelling all the nonsense the PRL-propaganda machine had fed the Poles

rybnik,I'm sure,propaganda works both ways.
