Poland - What does it make you think of?

[whipster]

I was inspirated by Top Secret's topic about Switzerland. I always wanted to know...<p>What pops into you head when you think about Poland?

[Naga Royal Guard]

Cold, but is it really that cold there? <p>Ive always thaught it was.

[pcread]

Poland? Beautiful young women, grey towns, pollution, friendly people.

[geary]

Nazi Invasion.....<br>Polar Bears......<br>The word 'east'....<br>Heavy Industry......

when I think about Poland, I think Polish sausage...Thats the only thing that comes to mind...other than that, what is Poland known for anyways? I hear about it all the time, but there doesnt seem to be anything special about it...

[skoochythatone]

I think of absolutely beautiful women, the prettiest ones I have ever met came from there(at least in Europe). Poland is also a neighbor of my home country and I think it is a good thing they are part of the EU now.

[SV]

i usually think of snow and ice for some reason

[Hornbag]

Well i still think that everyone is like Po of the Teletubbies, and you are all red! Po-Land

[Santeno]

I think of horses, farming, classical music and peroguies!

[Laguna]

Really???. I was thinking snow, ice, mortorways, snow on mortorways and car accidents.

<B>Homeland</B>... although Canada is my new home (living here for more than two-thirds of my life). I do hope that with the membership to the European Union... Poland will be able to grow in the same manner as its Western counterparts.<p>Na Razie...<br><IMG SRC="http://server2.uploadit.org/files/tribus-PL.jpg" BORDER="0">

is it any bettr than tap water or filtered tap water? ( some ppl drink out the toilet cause its the same as the tap)

[knicks125]

I get it for free for some reason so if I don't drink it, my whole place would be filled with water...<p>I think it's all the same...i guess you could make the argument that poland and other similar ones have less bacteria in them...maybe<p>drinking out of the toilets...ewwww...that's just nasty...then again, if someone's desperate, anything can happen, as we learned <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.germancarfans.com/images/forums/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif" BORDER="0">
