rafalgorka 1,371 Posted February 22, 2023 #9561 Share Posted February 22, 2023 So President Biden is leaving Warsaw today. Well, there was said a lot about UKR, BLR, RUS so no need to repeat myself I think. Here in Poland, from Polish persperctive, we have this sort-of "Quiet Before the Storm" feeling. Hopefully i'm overreacting but if i'm wrong, that's good in this case. If it is a better scenario lying ahead - I will be "pleasantly disappointed". Anyway, even if we are not in the danger zone yet and we won't get there immediately, I can say sth like this: today is 22/02/2023. And imagine that this is 22/02/1923. From this perspectiive year 2039 (aka 1939) looks pretty long time ahead... but... well, we can't do much about it, the only thing we can do is to move abroad before it's hot here. Today we stay. And that's all for now. My best greetings to all the users from stay safe please. hopefully your country was mentioned repeatly during last days' events for no real reason. And eventually nothing's gonna happen in Kiszyniów (Chisinau/Kishinev) and around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,546 Posted March 7, 2023 #9565 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Cool! But.....where's that bread with salted butter or whatever the good folks of Slovakia give their guests upon arriving? (might be bread with just salt? I know it's something with bread and salt!)

Anyway, I loved especially the part where the guy with the sabre talked in slovak to your king inviting him for the inspection but it looks he understood.
