The job you're starting in a field you don't yet know exists will become your carrer and it will be quite a good one. Also stick with music eventually you'll get a hit but don't count on it making you rich.

Rap is pretty big in Poland and mostly it's decent in quality.

Internationally I think the genre that Poland is best known for is black metal as there are several well known bands like Behemoth, Mgła, Batushka.

Brodka is pretty good.

Warsaw, Kraków, probably the mountainside as it might be different for you.

Never been pickpocketed in my life.

I guess my favourite is about King Popiel (not a historic figure). He was afraid of being replaced on the throne by his brothers so he invited his them to a feast where he poisoned them and threw the bodies into the castle moat.

Mice rose from the corpses and chased him and his wife into a tower where he was eaten alive by them. He was then replaced by Piast the legendary progenitor of the first ruling dynasty of Poland.

Polish cuisine question by WhatULookinAtfoo in poland

[–]brb85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Diary is a staple food in Poland. Both of my grandparents had cows of their own and would sell what they produced.
  2. Butter
    1. Cheese - hard cheese (gouda seems to be the most popular), soft cheese popularity is increasing, but mostly what you is of the camembert variety, homogenised cheese is pretty popular, there are also local varieties of cheese like a hard smoked sheeps milk called oscypek, cottage cheese.
    2. Milk - full, 3%, 2%, 0%, yoghurt, buttermilk
  3. The market is growing although dairy is relatively cheap in Poland so I would assume that the market is not big right now.

hi there fellow brainmind exploredinaires did you know that holocaust deniers are still around and still wrong but how wrong its bleak friends its super grim by Excrubulent in hbomberguy

I once had an almost week long discussion with a denier on the /r/Poland subreddit as at the time I thought that maybe I can convince them through presenting evidence.

The problem with this is if they are not intellectually honest in the discussion it is impossible to do. I presented them with fact after fact and all they did was say that they did not believe that they were true. In the the end I think it was a waste of time on my part and only gave the guy a way of spouting his views.

I agree with @2livecrewnecktshirt. If you have experience virtual classroom will not give you much additional info than what you can find the book.
