Why Do You Love Poland?

plus one beautiful oO

So are you a 10 out of 10er?

Everyone is a 10 out of 10 to someone. If not, you've just not met the right someone.

My interest in Poland started when I went to a museum (actually a village) with a friend from Poland. Looking at how people lived here in the states, say about 100 years ago is a favorite pastime. Well she kept saying things like, "oh, my grandmother has one of those." Or "that's used for...." I decided a trip to Poland would be like going back in time... and even though it is very modern there, some things are indeed "traditional." People actually know how to keep a coal fire going... something I've been trying to do for years with only limited success! In Poland, you can ride a train as modern as our Acela (Amtrack), and look out the window to see a steam engine pulling a train of wooden boxcars... very cool, if you like trains. Lot's of fresh food too! I visited a family, people I didn't even know, and they served me an wonderful lunch. Everything on the table was produced either by them or someone else in the village. This also speaks to the hospitality I experienced while there, incredible! Then there is the amazing history, beautiful architecture, and of course the landscape itself. To top it all off, I found myself loving the sound of the language. I hope this is the beginning of a long and fulfilling relationship between me and that country that is a mere eight hour plane ride away.

Debatable!

I just spent a week in the deep south near Ustron after a weekend in Krakow... love not so sure... but the family who basically adopted me fed me non-stop meet and potatoes to the point of bursting... plus was always a beer handy... was also quiet and the sky when clear full of stars on a country dark night.

and soo true so many lovely women... not just looks but helpful too when you put on the I only speak English (American) eyes, please help...

very nice and a place I hope to return too often to visit new friends and enjoy the beer, girls and food.... all very delicious.

brought a smile 2 my face reading ur post :-)

thanks

I love Poland because my boyfriend lives there, and if any country can produce such an amazingly loving and caring guy, then I'm all for it. :)

...huuuurggghhhh (vomit)... just teasing.

Poland also has my mother-in-law, explain that one....

I just love Poland among other things because I am proud of its history and my origins <3

Have been here for a year and two months now. In the beginning I really had to get used to the 'tram faces'. Polish people have a way of ignoring other people's existence when they are on the street - looking right through you, and, if you dare smile at them (habit of people in my home country), it's like: 'What do you want from me?!!' Started to learn Polish though, and although I still speak very little, and my grammar is always a shambles, my pronunciation is good, so if it's just Dzien Dobry, and maybe a little bit more, I fool them with my accent. Also, Polish Moms and Dads with little ones melt like snow in the sun if you play a game with the little ones. And then I found out that if you can get past the tram faces, Polish people bloom open like the tulips in spring - as colourful and full of surprises as you could never imagine any tram face would be. :0)

Who ? Mufasa ?

The food, the architecture (not just the big stuff, but the everyday stuff too), the food, the people, the food, the films of Krzystof Kieslowski, the food, Polish jazz, the food, the drink, the drink, the drink.

I gather you love eating and drinking Osiol ;0)
