I am proud to be of Eastern European origin – Poland to be specific. It is exciting to know how to speak two different languages fluently and to have extra holidays in the calendar. Polish people love to make a holiday out of everything. For example, there is not only a Mother’s and Father’s day, but also a Grandfather’s, Grandmother’s, and a Ladies day! Poles like to take every opportunity they can to get away from work. There is even a names day where each first name is placed somewhere on the calendar. ‘Daniel’s day’ falls on every December 10th, so you can feel free to lavish me with gifts on that day
Poland is also a country with a remarkable history. It has some of the most breathtaking castles (the largest is the Wawel Castle in Krakow) and theatres I have ever seen in my life. The national theatre has the deepest stage than any other theater in Europe.

Poland is a country that has had its fair share of warfare. With a rich country (Germany) on the left and a huge country (Russia) on the right, it’s placement has caused a lot of suffering for the people especially in the last 100 years with the advent of WWI and II.
Poland has very delicious home-made food. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. God bless all those wives who cook using Polish tradition. Every Christmas Eve, simply walking into a Polish home can make anyone’s mouth water with the smell of delicious borscht (red beet soup), pierogies, and a poppy seed and raisin roll for dessert. Mmm!
