I am originally from Legnica, Poland, moved to Germany, only to move again to Calgary, Canada. I then moved to London only in August of 2005 and love it here. I graduated as a Zoologist; however I am currently working as a Molecular Biologist. I love my job, my friends and the area of London where I live.
Polska Power!
You May Be Polish If...
1. You or someone in your family owns a Nissan Maxima with a PL sticker proudly displayed on the back windshield and/or a custom-made European license place in the front (most likely with your name written on it).
2. You have relatives who aren't really your relatives.
3. You sing the same song - "100 lat" - on every occasion (weddings, birthdays, baby showers).
4. You watch soccer.
5. You know very well Pope John Paul II was Polish and his name was Karol, not Carol.
6. You go to Midnight Mass every Christmas Eve and keep your Christmas tree up till February.
7. You drink your wodka straight.
8. You listen to techno.
9. You don't feel the need to add an "s" to Pierogi because you already know the word is plural and it annoys you when others do. However, you still add 'y' to already plural english words... "chipsy", "dzinsy".
10. You are convinced your pets only understand Polish.
11. You are forced to listen to Disco Polo by your parents.
12. You can spot Polish people like Asians can spot each other.
13. When others find out you're Polish, they tell you about every Polish person they've ever known, which is most likely followed by them mispronouncing common phrases such as "czesc" or "dziekuje".
14. Your name always gets slaughtered on the first day of school.
15. The thought of eating cow stomach (flaki) doesn't gross you out.
16. When you're at a stranger's house, you expect their garbage can to be under the sink.
17. Every window in your house must have "firanki", even in the bathroom.
18. Once in a while, you do a big "przemeblowanie" at home.
19. You always take off your shoes as soon as you step into someone else's house (even if the owner of the house insists you don't have to).
20. You celebrate your birthday AND your nameday, "imieniny".
21. You were extremely surprised to learn that American weddings last hours, not days.
