kylie1 Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 01.12.05, 21:15 Hi Eugene, Welcome to Davey's forum, Eugene! A friend of mine was born in Tranow and it's absolutely gorgeous.I have tons of pics from that place. I can definitely see why someone would want to live in that area. There is so much history everywhere you go in POland. I am sure you will have people want to write to you or meet for a quick java. I can share a cyber java with you... I am not too sure what it tastes like but we can give it a try! Kylie Odpowiedz Link
ejmarkow Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 02.12.05, 15:13 Hello Kylie! Thank you very much for your warm welcome here! Indeed, the city of Tarnów is a very nice one with an interesting 'old town' center with many fabulous pieces of architecture. I live further south in the beginning of the Carpathian mountains, on top of a mountain. From my home, I can see the entire Dunajec River Valley, the small town of Zakliczyn, and the surrounding hills. This area and my village are basically agricultural, with many horses and horse drawn wagons around. It's really nice! Hope some of you can make it here one day for a cup of coffee, tea, or even a beer! Best Regards, Eugene Siemiechów, Poland Odpowiedz Link
varsovian Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 02.12.05, 15:58 How's life down there? Don't you feel a bit isolated? I only live just outside Warsaw and I feel a bit out of it, despite having quite a few Polish in-laws locally. (Many apologies, I'm only a Brit) Odpowiedz Link
ejmarkow Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 02.12.05, 20:11 Hi Varsovian! To be frank with you, life is great here! Sure, my home is isolated considering the fact that my village Siemiechów has approximately 1,900 residents, however, I purposely escaped overcrowded New York City (population 8,000,000 +) to be here surrounded by my own forests and land. If I wanted to live in a crowded city, I naturally would have lived in Warsaw, Kraków, or even Tarnów. I can wake up in the morning here, stroll through my own forests, breath in the fresh air, and enjoy the spaciousness. Only today, I looked out of my window and there were 6 deer eating grass on my lawn. I have many interesting neighbors, who only speak Polish. Otherwise, it's quite rustic and nice, and not lonely at all. A nice thing is that I have an excellent internet connection here! Anyway, come one, come all here for a nice beer! Best Regards, Eugene Siemiechów, Poland Woj. Małopolskie Odpowiedz Link
kylie1 Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 02.12.05, 20:57 It almost sounds like living in an Amish country....except for the computer, of course. Glad you like it there, Eugene. Stick around - it's a cool forum! Kylie Odpowiedz Link
kylie1 Re: An American Living in Southern Poland 02.12.05, 23:09 Hi again! Eugene, you might wanna check Maggie's web site as well. A lot of people need a hand with their English and if you know at least some Polish you will be OK. forum.gazeta.pl/forum/71,1.html?f=517 You will find many interesting discussions as well. Maggie is the forum's mod. Nice lady. A good place to visit when you have some spare time. I am not sure what happened to "Uncle Davey" (he runs this site). Most likely he is on some business trip again "running around with his fancy lap top and a snazzy Rolex". At least that's what he said he was doing last time Cheers, Kylie (BC,Canada) Odpowiedz Link

I don't have a fancy laptop or a rolex, so I think you have been paraphrasing me rather liberally. I have a laptop, but it's certainly not that fancy. In fact, my technology is so mediocre that I cannot get on here when I am on the road. I should, like, do something about that. Odpowiedz Link
