Ksysia:
- abundance of varieties of juices and waters

yes - this is what Britain is surprisingly short of (fruit juices - can't drink stuff like Powerade or Lucozade on daily basis)
you can find huge variety of fruit juices in Poland

What on earth are you going on about, Gumi? Poland and Britain both have Powerade alike. What's your point? Fortuna and Hortex tend to produce real fruit juice but many don't. Britain also has pure fruit juice, you know!?

Logic tells you to buy your own oranges and squeeze them yourself, right?

as far as I can remember I had hard time trying to buy some carrot juices or mixed carrot juices in England - and the only pure fruit juice I can remember were orange juice and apple juice - orange juice was very good, never bought apple juice in England as I rarely buy any apple juice (save for the tymbark apples and mint bottled juice)
the variety is most important word here

You need to go to the health shops (I'm speaking about Scotland as I have never lived in England) to get pure carrot juice. There are other options but the fact remains that you can always make your own.

Why else do you love Poland, Gumi?

for being able to spend a whole day in a forest wether biking or hiking (I actually live in a forest ;) )
some people mention here and in other threads that Polish people are down-to-earth - I really like that - but it is changing especially in the cities where life is more media-influenced and more westernised - this goes down to the fact my generations weren't raised on commercial broadcast and there were no media hypes of any kind - I get a feeling todays youths are shaped by the media hype and commercial broadcast

Forests :) I hear ye brotha, Scotland has its fair share of them. Westerners are not down-to-earth? That's a bit of a generalisation. Communism was hype in and of itself. It was one of the worst forms actually or did you have sth different in mind?

Seanus - there was no Stalinist style indoctrination in Poland from the 1956 onwards - during my school times the indoctrination was very subtle - so it was in the TV - I think western style commercial media have a huge impact on the population setting unrealistic goals and standards (and expectations) and eventually perhaps even society degrading ones

That doesn't show indoctrination at all. That speech was (possibly the ultimate) proof the indoctrination did not work.

I loooooooove the Polish chick in it...she looks really stoned excited:)... why wont anyone love Poland after seeing this??

I don't think seeing this girl with the sign that says "Poland - we love you Michael" would positively influence my decision on going to Poland, if I was sitting on the fence.

Polish: cynicism, sense of humor, self-criticism, will to fight, lifestyle, history, food and inventiveness.

haven't read what you guys wrote but I love Poland for its inconsistency...
for the fact the people can be 'converted' (if you try hard enough)
for the fact that as an nation we were so ****** up we have no idea who we are and where we come from

for the fact that when other nations may be getting deluded, we learn from your mistakes (hopefully) and come out on the better side


that's my HOPE for Poland

I lovePoland because of its uniqueness.

Every counry is unique to some degree, my dear sir. And Hungary or Albania, for example, are arguably more unique than Poland. Hungarians speak a strange language and Albanians shake their heads diagonally when they want to emphasise the negative.

I really hope, but in all honesty I cant it.

I liked Poland's architecture and chilled atmosphere, the summers are hot and the winters cold, thats something I quite liked too.

My wife of course. You need to be a good man to cope with the turns of women. 'Now I don't say I'm a good man, but I would be if I could'. Peter Green, Man of the World, classic!!!

The spirit of some of the people in adversity is great too! Oh yes, and the efforts of the man tonight to find me toilet paper as I had to leave the hall during football. He got me some eventually and I held out. I couldn't stop thanking him :)
