Welcome to Polandian
Polandian is a great place to catch a sideways glance at life in Poland. Think of our blog as a fruit cake; rich with wit and satire, sprinkled through with nuggets of helpful advice & historical inaccuracies with a lingering, slightly intoxicating, after-taste that leaves one craving for more. Were it not for the odd crunchy pieces that taste vaguely of pork scratchings, it would be a prize winning recipe. Here’s what our readers have to say:
>”Hilarious, really – one of the most amusing things I’ve read about life in Poland in quite a while.” – Brad
>”Come on chaps – let’s have some more posts!” – Michael
>”Hilarious post… if I only knew what is it about???” – Ania
>”If this isn’t the best ever blog about Poland then I don’t know what is!” – SomeGeezer
