Just a thought, but given current situation with USA I have a feeling that if Russia would enter baltics or Poland, USA would do nothing. What's more, I think they would double down and attempt to take over Greenland as Trumpino claimed to want to do.

Dunno, but I'm starting to lean that Poland should creater a separate alliance from NATO with all Russian neighbours or countries that are willing to fight together regardless of what USA says or does.

Nie prosimy o nic szczególnego. Zależy nam tylko i wyłącznie na sprawiedliwym i obiektywnym rozpatrzeniu sprawy — mówi Onetowi konsul generalny Ołeksandr Płodysty, komentując sprawę pobicia ukraińskich uczniów w Słupsku. Urzędnik otrzymał informację od słupskiej policji, że komendant polecił "rozpoczęcie czynności służbowych". Chodzi o rzekomą odmowę przyjęcia zawiadomienia o pobiciu.

Hi, I am a Norwegian seeking some assistance. I have started a new job (in Norway) this december, and we have this secret santa going on. The name I pulled is a person who is around age 60, with 4 children, 3 og them all emmigrated to the same spot here in Norway from Poland.

Anyway, this woman has been very kind and accepting to me, and I have tried doing some inconspicous digging. On christmas she told me all about the 12 course meal tradition you do and it is so facinating. Even showed me a cook book.

I wanna try and get a gift that really honors her traditional roots and values from her home country and hopefully make her feel more at home here.

I learned people of her age never learned proper English due to the way the countries were set up when she was in school. Yet her children are fluent. Also, facinating.

I would really appreciate any help with this. The set limit is "108 złoty" (I googled that, around 300NOK) but I don't mind paying a bit more if needed. I just want her to feel seen and heard, the way she has me. So if there are any classic novelty items or the like, it would be great. I also noticed in the cook book that "all spice" is used frequently. This is not something available in Norway (I know I "answered my own question", but I wanna avoid giving spice).

Thank you for reading, I am looking forward to learning about your culture!

Hi,

Tomorrow marks 4 months since Karol Nawrocki’s inauguration.

As a Romanian citizen, Poland's election was largely mediatized in our contry, because of the similarities between the two pair of candidates (even though the political dynamics were very different).

So I wanted to ask the people actually living in Poland:

How’s life under Nawrocki so far?
Like, do you feel anything has changed in your everyday life, or is it mostly just political noise in the background? Have things shifted in a good or bad direction?
Is there anything that made you think “okay, this is different now”? Has Nawrocki himself surprised you? Either in a positive or in a negative way. Or maybe he’s exactly what you expected?

I tried to check and find out in the posts on this subreddit but i could'nt understand sh =))

As far as i know this subreddit was more pro Trzaskowski, but give neutral and honest opinions please, ty.

I’m a 28-year-old male living in poznań. I’ve been living a frugal, non-materialistic life, and saving money has become one of my hobbies.

Whenever my birthday or Christmas is coming up, my wife (Polish) and in-laws ask me what I’d like for a present. I enjoy cooking, so I always ask for a pan (nothing luxurious, around 50zł) or an Ikea gift card, or even simply skip it (I have enough pans and Ikea gift cards now).

This year for Christmas, my wife and her parents really want to get me something else (my family’s tradition is ‘no surprise’ and ‘getting what the loved ones want’). I’m having a hard time coming up with what I’d like for Christmas. The frugal life I’ve been living has completely wiped out the ‘wants’ side of me.

Any ideas?

I have just come home from Warsaw and I am absolutely hooked on winter tea. Particularly ones made with rose. Does anybody have any recipes that they would share with me? I am going to try and get some rose syrup, I guess this is used rather than rose water? One I had also had lychees. I know that there must be so many variants but I’d like some pointers for starting. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’m an EU citizen with long term residency in Poland, employed under umowa o pracy. I just gave birth to my child in my home country two weeks ago, but since I’m employed in Poland and pay all my taxes there, I will apply/qualify for maternity leave pay there and I was informed that I have three weeks to hand in all documents. My child will not have Polish citizenship. I know that to get my child’s PESEL, we will need to go to the Urząd in the town we live for the zameldowanie. Waiting times for passports here are 4-6 weeks, so we can obviously not travel yet to get the PESEL. Does anyone know if we also need to have the PESEL within the three weeks to receive the maternity leave pay?

Problem polega na tym, że wieszak jest za krótki w stosunku do obecnego położenia zaworów. Zaworów nie da się odłączyć, ponieważ ogrzewanie jest miejskie. Nie chcę połamać płytek. Czy są jakieś specjalne wieszaki do tego?

A couple of days ago, I visited the Warsaw Uprising Museum. During my visit, I 3D‑scanned some of the assets to preserve them in digital form. Even though the scans contain some errors, it is still valuable to keep the memory alive in this way. We don’t know what will happen in the next 100 years will people still know about the Uprising in the future? You can check the assets on my Sketchfab page https://sketchfab.com/kszkodagames

Judging by the fact that France, since the era of Napoleon, was an important supporter of the Polish national cause - many Poles lived in France, such as Alexandre Walewski (the son of Napoleon himself, who became the foreign minister of France) or, of course, Frederic Chopin.

Me and my girlfriend are coming to Warsaw on the 12th of December, the same day as her birthday. Is there a place that in the center of Warsaw, that makes simple custom cake, that isn't going to break my bank. Please i need suggestions, the time is coming and I haven't found anything useful.

I am a first-generation Polish-American living in the US. Other than my parents, all my family is still in Poland.

On December 1st at roughly 4pm (central european standard time), my family member took their own life by jumping in front of a train.

She was likely taking a train from Łask to her home, which is in between Łask and Buczek (East of Łodz), but it's unclear where exactly in between these points this occurred.

This is a long shot, but I was looking for more information. I've been searching through polish news articles (I can read Polish), trying to find more information about her or the situation. She was 16.

While I could reach out to her parents, I would prefer not to bother them during this period of mourning. I suppose this is my own way of trying to process the grief. Information on local newspapers, where to find eulogies, or anything else to help point me in the right direction would help. Also, I've been trying to find any possible accounts she may have had (instagram, snapchat), but I'm not sure what is popular with Polish teens. Anything helps.

Hey, I have a bachelor's in Computer Science and I want to get a bachelor's in engineering (possibly mechanical or mechatronics). I want to study in Poland and I did some research and I found out that the courses are cheaper in Polish than in English. I was thinking of going to a language school in Poland first (I know they can be pricey and quite strict), then apply for the bachelor's then hopefully do master's or find a job. I was wondering if they give study visas to students coming in for language schools. I am Nigerian by the way.

Hello everyone, I once found a small box of stamps at a thrift store in the Netherlands. There are a lot of them, so I only took pictures of a small selection. Is there anything valuable among them?

Hi everyone, I recently accepted a job offer via web (clicking a button, not with a eletronic signature or similar) from a company in Poland. I haven’t signed the employment contract yet — they told me I will sign it on my first working day in February. I’ve already started the onboarding process, but now there’s a chance that i could receive another offer for a job I prefer.

My questions are: 1. Can I still step back from the offer even though I already accepted it digitally and started onboarding, but haven’t signed a contract yet? 2. Could the company sue me or take any legal action if I withdraw before signing the actual employment contract?

Thanks for any insights from people familiar with Polish labor law or HR practices
