Pole Party

Saturday 12 September 2009 | general

When you get a large group of Poles together (especially expats), there are two things that are certain to happen:

  1. At some point, all participants will be herded into one room for a speech. The topic is variable, but it will happen. And it will at some point seem like something out of the film Rejs.
  2. There will be singing. Masses of people will join together, singing songs from childhood, songs of national significance, songs that seem to sound best when sung at the top of one’s voice.

That predictability is somehow comforting.

  1. God…how very accurate, it’s almost scary. (lol) I love those sing-along moments, especially if I know the lyrics of the songs (and I don’t know as many as I should).

  2. Haven’t heard from you for a while, nice to know that you three are doing so great. :)
