If he is a real priest and this is real holy water and he says the right words, it counts.
Hotel and restaurant "Alicja"
Good for them for bringing some color and style to such a drab place.
theres someone right underneath i can see part of his head AND IS THAT MF TAKIN A PICTURE
'Damn it Jakub, this is not what people put on their LinkedIn accounts. You will never find a job like this.'
"Funeral services"
He's holding very popular amongst kids ice cream packaging... Yes, people were selling even packages 😐 And it wasn't easy to get hold of the ice cream itself!
The guy in the middle looks like Krzysztof Krawczyk (RIP) he was a very popular singer since the 70s
The sign says "Rent"
I see Walter White survived cancer and started a new life in Poland
The date of pic here is important - new year's eve. The girl is probably peeling the potatoes for a trafitional Polish veggie and mayonnaise salad. This is something which you could find on every Polish table on each ocasion - birthdays, Christmas, Easter, New Year's Eve, weddings, proms - you name it :)
To be honest, that's one of my better memories from school. I'm guessing that picture shows preparations to 'wigilia klasowa' - christmas eve celebration on last day of school before christmas holiday. It was an opportunity for a more laid back contact with classmates and faculty. In highschool we would add smuggled alcohol to that Pepsi and share it with some professors who seemed 'cool'.
Little explanation: I am on the group of Polish Pictures Community. The aim is to gather pictures which are 'very Polish' in the way they look. So there are funny pictures, but also wholesome, sentimental, sad, everyday etc. They are not gathered to make fun. This is why there is a lot of pope (or The Pope, cause in Poland many people are obsessed with John Paul II), a lot of priests, a lot of Kaczynski, but also a lot of our mums and dads, a lot of shops we are doing groceries, streets we are walking. A little bit of absurd, a little bit of megalomania, a little bit of simple lives with addition of families making bigos and veggie salad all the time. This is Poland and these are pictures of it.
I found all photos endearing - a bit more text would have been nice
Load More Replies...Looks almost exactly like Russia of the 1990s, minus the Pope. I'm sure these photos are not representative of the whole country.
They are not. On polish websites we have even crazier picture compilations captioned "Russia is not a place - it's a state of mind" also not representative of russian nation either. Both share common themes - old people having fun (I consider such pics kinda wholesome), hot girls in weird situations (like that gal peeling potatoes in formal attire), some crazy drunk idiots and religious figures in the wild.
