From my experience the "in-laws" will probably try to feed you a lot and will often give you a second (or third) helping without asking.

Ha ha, that's so true! And tell you that you are skinny and need to eat more :) Even if you are overweight.

I now know to eat small portions to make room for the 2nd and 3rd helpings.

Learn to say in Polish :-

good morning, good evening, please, thank you, excuse me, cheers and goodbye.

Its always good to be polite in the language of the country you visit.

I was going to make, the poles don't like Germans, Russians, Ukraines, and Jews, add on Dark skin people, its a fact of life, not all poles but the majority. sorry no hard feelings but stating a point.

You are not even Polish buster to make statements like this, also she will be fine in Poland.
You have been unpleasant for no reason.

It means literally "On your health" but is the same as "cheers" in the UK

I hope that was meant to be a joke. If not, you are an idiot. I personally love the looks of Sicilian women.

Joke or no joke the point was made that poles don't like dark skinned people, I didn't have in mind light or olive skinned people, thats a fact of life. You may want to visit Poland and see for yourself. I don't personally agree with that mentality, Ask the question, how many dark skinned people are employed by a polish company?
Am I a idiot, probably, just like everybody else.

Bolek, just stop already. LoL

So Tomek was talking to his parents and all of his aunts and uncles, and they are really excited for me to visit! His older sister, who is my age, just got married and I will be staying with them for a few days in Warsaw. Then I will stay with his parents for the rest of the time in Suwalki. During this time, I'm somehow supposed to visit all of his aunts and uncles. I'm really excited to go. It's going to be an adventure especially since he isn't going!

You seem like a lovely person , and i am sure his family are going to love you to bits....If you get any negative comments from People in Poland , they will probably come from the kind of people that are not worth bothering with anyway....

Enjoy your time in Poland , i wish you every happiness with your future husband...

It will be good. Polish people (esp. outside bigger cities) have a tendency to stare at everyone who doesn't look Polish. Older people do it more than young ones. But it will most likely not cause you any problem, it's just something they do.

It's not just lack of "Polishness": they'd stare at any sign of individuality whether it's unusual hair style, dress you are wearing etc or just because they don't recognize you or simply because they have nothing better to do. It could be annoying but is not dangerous. They also often times comment on your appearance. Just smile and say "dzieñ dobry".

I'm Polish and I have been stared at when my father bought a farm outside of Kraków. Village people would stare every time I'd drive my car through. They could not figure out what business city people would have being in "their" village. It got better after only 15 years so cheers!

Yes , i can relate to that , i live on a farm on the edge of a small village...they can,t quite believe that an English person would leave the wondefull UK to live in a Polish village , they can,t believe i actually prefer it here...

It should be noted that in Poland direct eye contact with strangers can be held for a longer time than is acceptable or comfortable for some visitors. I also get the sense that some people expect you to give them a stare and that it would be rude not to- I'm thinking about a woman dressed for an evening out- so I always oblige. (I heard that women dress to impress other women anyhow)

We have a house in the village too and we get our fair share of staring (I call it gap-ing). At the same time we bought our house, a German/Polish lady bought an old mill to turn it into a restaurant. The local gossip was that I was that lady (not true) and that I planned to make a brothel (not true). When confronted by one very brave neighbor, I cleared up the confusion and joked that if a brothel was moving in at least there'd be jobs in the area. My joke didn't go over too well.

If anyone cares for an update. I went to Poland and it was AMAZING! His whole family loved me. I would move there in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity.

bolek:

And yes Bolek, people did like me. Polish women were extremely friendly, and his family kept teasing me because a lot men on the street, in the mall, at restaurants, etc. kept giving me googly eyes...They must have thought I was cute :-)

You shouldn't be surprised. Polish men seem to love Latin women. I live in Connecticut and there are a lot of Polish guys dating Latinas here.

I think Polis in general are every womens dream. He can carry his women with care and love. You can assure of his warm and tender loving feelings for you. If I will choose between Flilipino, amerikan scandinavian men I would prefer Polis as my first choice. Beating up wifes have nothing to do with nationalities. It has something to do with family upbringing, discipline and their point of view. I think the only problem with Polac is that many of them that cannot speak english and that´s the reason why many intrepeneur really takes advantage of these people. But I bet ya, Polacs works harder than anyone else. Even a low wage they work for it. They are hardworking people.

I will fly to Gdynia one day for a wonderful vacation out in the countryside near the beach. I would love to see the place of my ex. At least now, I am in a very good status and have the capability to see the world and see him. He he he
