1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
Roughly - not. All of them are goddamn liars and none will speak what he truly thinks. It's a bucket full of crap with a mixing crane inserted in.
2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
Finnish I guess.
3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?

I do agree - but then again, I would rather do something I like, not I have to do.
4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?

By jolly, bigos of course.

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?

2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
Morse code plus associated abbreviations like xyl-wife, qrp - low power.
Interlingua, language that makes you understood by millions of people who do not have to learn interlingua themselves.

3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?
It is good to work but it is important to use your head. I've heard some management guru say: Ask yourself the right question. Not "what to do?", but rather "what x to do so that you do not have to do y?" or "do you really need to do x to have y done?"...
4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?
I repeat after Magda: Ruskie pierogi. Hungarian goulash, Ukrainian bortsch...

3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?
Are you on about "Żadna praca nie hańbi"? No I do not fully agree with that - while one person might be OK with wiping somebody else's ass for money, someone else could find it humiliating.
4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?
Magda's got it spot on.
5. What was the most bizarre street name you've ever heard of ?
Too many to list them all. Obi-Wan street would be in the top 3.Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 26.02.10 o godzinie 13:35

Thanks Krzysztof – a great set of questions!

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not)?

Yeah sure! It affects so much of my life. Were it not for Solidarność, what would Poland be like and would I be here? Poland has benefited in many ways from being in the EU, but I’m disappointed in some of the changes she is being been forced to make – such as the smoking ban. It just aint possible (as the Americans say) to think about these things without thinking about politics.

2. What is the most exotic language you would like to learn?
Polish

3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble?

Naturally, it is best to find something that matches your interests, and is rewarding and challenging, but in the past, when push came to shove, I took up some pretty humble positions. I hope I don’t have to again.

4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine?

Polish cuisine is great, but I prefer Italian, French and Spanish

5. What was the most bizarre street name you've ever heard of?

Wong Way – in California (in that country between Canada and Mexico)

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
as for the Polish mess...well...still like to be updated what's going on unless I can see twin brothers on TV...then the TV is out!

2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
like European languages, sorry:)

3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?
well, the more educated/ambitious etc.you are, the less willing to perform certain things you become...so, not really.however, if there was no other alternative but to take such a job, I would have to accept it. at least for a while.

4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?
potatoes! (guess what is my hometown...:)

5. What was the most bizarre street name you've ever heard of ?

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
Not really - just in the most important headlines. It's just simply too boring, I guess.
2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
Arabic (exotic to me but not to over 200mio people in the world:))
3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?

Yep. I also agree with another saying: shit happens. So you never know what might happen in your life and you should be prepared to be forced to do sth you're not proud of.
Wiping arses for living is what nurses do (among other things) and I don't find their job humiliating.
But another question is whether you would take a humiliating job for a whopping salary...

4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?
Beegees (bigos) :)

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
I am, but not domestic. Because I have to know everything about the areas I travel and resarch.

2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
Hindi, and I am in progress.
I also learn Korean.

3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?
To some extent I do, but there are jobs we are better and less fitted to in terms of gift/ call whatever it's called. I will not be an office worker if I am a journalist. Just does not come together.

4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?

Oh, I will have my say now. I HATE bigos and I also claim that nothing worse than those farmers dishes was invented and promoted as "traditional" polish cuisine. So let me be sophisticated here and say game dishes with delicious sauces and stuff of the kind. NO POTATOES though I like them, yet they should not be advertized!. NO BIGOS. I like Żurek though :)

And everyone who adverts disgusting stuff as traditional polish cuisine deserves to be hanged and to be hanged immediately!

Thank you, Krzysztof.

1. I would not be interested in going into politics. Almost all of the politicians I know of aren't leaders. They're followers. I do pay attention to political news.

2. Chinese (Mandarin).

3. I don't know that saying but I suppose no job would be too humble for me.

4. Ryba po grecku sounds good right now.

Cheers Krzysztof! Nice one!

1. Why not. It has an impact on our life and, most importantly, on the economy.

2. Enough for me in terms of languages. Unless we are talking about C++ and this kind of stuff...

3. Not really or partially. I wouldn't do most of the things people do, yet I believe that unless they enjoy it or have a 'plan' to progress / change the job / save money - it's fine with me. Personally, I would rather 'work my ass off' than settle.

4. Pierogi with meat.

5. Wall Street.

Have a nice weekend guys!

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
Not really. It's boring. And when you've learnt that politicians don't really make decision, rather do what they're told... Well, the whole idea of politics is somewhat... distorted.

1. Are you interested in politics and why (or why not) ?
I am intetested in it. Both as a passive or an active person. One day I might even consider to be a politician, but I need a treatment to be a successful one I guess... my problem is, there are MANY people in politics who could try my temperament hard, and I currently find it difficult to not comment on some of the things.
Which I believe, a successful politician should always behave professionally.
I don't know why I am interested in politics, but my guesses are:
1- I believe I am more intelligent than many politicians
2- I think I have the qualities of a good team leader/manager
3- I'd LOVE to make things better for the people
4- Being an exceptionally good politician has a very good side-effect of being immortal (you know... your name being written to history books 100 years after you are dead or such), just like in being a very creative and successful musician (but I do nothing just to be an immortal person)
2. What is the most exotic languague you would like to learn ?
Polish (fully)
3. Do you agree with the old saying: no job is too humble ?
I guess I agree, but not sure what exactly it is supposed to mean.
People can be humble or not... not the jobs, to me. But yes. I guess.
4. What is your favourite dish from traditional Polish cuisine ?
Barszcz czerwony is not bad at all.
But pierogi comes to my mind first, unfortunately :)
5. What was the most bizarre street name you've ever heard of ?
The "street name" or the name of a street?
I've heard many weird surnames in Poland, but I can't recall a weird street name. Sorry.
