Being Cool (episode 1): A Short History of “Lans” Posted by Anna on Feb 11, 2010
Today Adam Blomberg, our new permanent (I sure hope so! – hint, hint, nudge, nudge) guest blogger decided to show us just how far behind the times us old farts are. 🙂 This is what the cool kids in Poland did in the 00s, apparently. Read on: As in every country and every city there…
In Search of the Right Ending… Posted by Anna on Feb 6, 2010
Today I would like to introduce to you our brand new guest blogger – Adam Blomberg. He will be helping me out with the Polish Blog this month, because I think that after all this time of mostly Anna, you all must be hungry for something exciting and fun. And a new (and male at…
Guest Post – Evil Winter! (“Zima ZĹ‚a”) Posted by Anna on Jan 25, 2010
Today we have a new guest post by a new guest blogger – Ms. Anglopole. Ms. Anglopole is Polish but lives with her husband and kids in the UK. She blogs about her Anglopolish life at Anglopole’s Ponglish World. OK, Ms. Anglopole, the floor (or rather – the blog) is yours today! Take it away…

Polish Expat Bloggers Posted by Anna on Dec 28, 2009
It always amazes me how many Poles in recent years have packed up and moved to the UK and Ireland.

I will remedy this glaring oversight…
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Wesołych Świąt! Posted by Anna on Dec 24, 2009
