If you are not fluent in Polish - switch on English subtitles (CC).

Still easier than Szczebrzeszyn (a city).

I like "żółć" since it is entirely written with polish letters.

Anyways, I love Poland, but I hate most of its population :angel:

In this case I have a recommendation for you. Move to Germany. The Poles I have met here over the years were, without exception, nice people. Not so sure about the Germans, though.

Had a great time in Germany 2003 in Scheeßel at the Hurricane Festival. Met lots of German and Polish and it was a ton of fun. The polish people could not speak English and I could not speak Polish so we conversed in German, the Germans laughed at my Manchester German a lot.
The polish girls and guys drank straight vodka out of plastic containers, just nuts.

A trip like that now would ruin me for weeks.
