I am convinced that there is never going be a day when I don't miss Poland. It's an infatuation, admiration, and passion that I feel for this country. To say it bluntly: I Love Poland.
Things I Love (and miss) About Poland:
* The History
* The Language
* The Currency (Zloty)--wayyyy more cool than the Dollar or Euro
* The overly nice Polish citizens who would try their best to understand my broken Polish or English. And I especially miss the kind souls who would throw in the towel and speak French.
* The Food
* Krakow, Lodz, Warsaw and Zakopane.
I miss the laugh or smirk that a person would develop on their face when I would say: "Dzień dobry" (good morning/ good afternoon), “Przepraszam”(Excuse me), or “Dziękuję” (Thank you). All words in Polish sound NOTHING like they're spelled, By. The. Way.
"Dzień dobry" = Jin Do-bray
"Prezepraszam" = Pres-hum
“Dziękuję” = Jing-qui-ya
Today I am missing something completely out of the ordinary- I am missing Drozdrowka Z Makiem.
"What's that you say?"
Here it is:
Mmmmmmmmmm.....
It's a deliciously good, hot and sticky, straight from the oven of heaven: Amazing Polish poppy-seed roll.
I Love Poland.
God Bless 'Em.
....and their Żywiec Beer...
