Antek_Stalich: Casual wear, yes. Unless you are told to wear the suit by your employer.

But never ever wear shorts in church ;DDD


Yeah, and put your hat on before entering any Jewish place of cult. How could I forget ;-DDDD

Do Poles celebrate Ivana Kupala (it's a big deal in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine)?


It's Noc Świętojańska, isn't it?


Yep, looks like it is the same holiday (according to Wikipedia). So do people go swimming, look for paporotnik flowers, jump over the fires, etc.?

Those customs you mention above are known in Poland but no one practice it nowadays. Too bad because it sounds really great.

re, "mother in law"
Simples really, a classic hand kiss on first meeting her. Lightly take the proffered hand,guide up slightly to her chest level,lower your head so she can see if you have a bald spot ( ;) ) then a quick peck on her hand while muttering a few well thought out compliments regarding her house/hair/daughter/dress etc and,Bingo, Mom in law is on side :)

Just dont try the heel click without plenty of practice or if wearing sneakers ;)
