hi pawel
i dont know much 'about' poland, but i am the rare non-polish american who has spent some time there. i was visiting a polish-american friend who was spending some time living there. we went camping in many places i cannot remember the name of without the aid of my journal, which is in the states somewhere, and im in sweden right now. but it was pretty fun, except that on the first night i arrived we set out on the camping trip and my friends didnt tell me you have to pay for the toilet everywhere. it was the middle of the night at some train station and the toilet attendant was sleeping so i just walked past, and then he came out yelling at me and i had no idea what was going on. sometimes in poland you even pay for the privilege of using a toilet with no water or toilet paper. sorry, i always talk about toilets when i talk about travel. in sweden the toilets are pretty decent, but sometimes you have to pay, like at mcdonalds and stuff.
soooo... i know that polish fast food is terrible (had some really amusing pizza made with ketchup instead of tomato sauce, for example), polish beer is strong as hell, gdansk is really pretty, and there are castles and occasionally topless lesbians to be seen. i also know that polish jokes are terribly unfair, because of course all the young people i met there were smarter and more ambitious than their american counterparts, not to mention prettier (fucking country full of blond-haired blue-eyed folks with great legs and asses - the guys and girls...)
