ejmarkow Re: Tarnowscy? 15.03.06, 00:37 In the rynek, there is an excellent 'Jazz' pub on the South side, in the basement. I also like to eat in the Chinese restaurant "Łeba" on ul. Walowa. Very cozy with great food. On ul. Słoneczna, there was a large 'disco' called '220 volt' or something like that. Also, on ul. Krakowska, there is the 'Blue Velvet'. Near me in Zaliczyn (only 7 km west) is the 'Jagiellonka' with great dancing. In the village of Melsztyn, near the ruins of the Melsztyn castle, is a superb restaurant "Pod Zamcze" with nice views of the Dunajec river, and great food as well. There are some other good dance clubs in Ciężkowice and Tuchów as well. So much to do, and so little time. Małopolskie is heaven. Though, I still enjoy splitting my wood!

The Chinese restaurant, it's near to the end of Walowa, not far from the statue of Bem, right? I seem to remember going there. and there's another at the 'beginning' of Lwowska or thereabouts. 'Blue Velvet' i remember from 2000r. Splitting wood -you a lumberjack? carpenter? And have you been to Brzesko (the home of Okocim - tasted better before Carlsberg took it over and interfered didn't it?)? Odpowiedz Link

Yes, the "Leba" Chinese restaurant is near the Bem statue, across the the law firm of Jerzy Hebda. You are correct, there is another at the beginning of Lwowska. So again, do currently live in Tarnów? > Splitting wood -you a lumberjack? carpenter? No, I'm an accountant pretending to be a farmer/lumberjack/carpenter. > And have you been to Brzesko (the home of Okocim - tasted better before > Carlsberg took it over and interfered didn't it?)? I've passed the Okocim brewery several times without actually ever going inside it. My favorite Polish beers are Żywiec, EB, and Lech. Let me know if you wish to have a beer sometime in Tarnów.

Ok, so you don't live in Tarnów. I was just there two days ago, and in fact, I ate at 'Leba' again. My order was chicken, vegetables, with fried rice and salad. In the rynek, they have erected an ice skating rink for the winter. Each year, the authorities renovate a small segment of the 'old town' and it looks even better. Tarnów is one of those countless Polish cities that are off the beaten track for tourists, and deserve many more visitors. Keep in touch! Regards, Eugene Siemiechów, Poland Odpowiedz Link

ejmarkow Re: Tarnowscy? 19.03.06, 17:21 marcus_anglikiem napisał: > So Eugene, where are you from originally? and how did you come to live in > Siemiechow ? Born in Manhattan, New York City, and lived there for 7 years before moving to Staten Island, New York. Beginning in 1994, while working downtown Manhattan as an accountant, each year I would take my available vacation time and spend it in Poland and Europe, touring the continent. By 1999, I was fascinated by Europe, with the many opportunities that exist here, so I started to look into the possibility of purchasing my own piece of paradise. You must understand, it's almost every American's dream to own a place overseas. It just has that exotic sentiment to it. What awaits you at the other end of the world? At first, France and Italy were in my mind, to own a stone farmhouse and some land. After seeing many flats, houses, and farms in Europe, coupled with the prices, I decided this was the best place to buy. Prior to 2001, initially, I wanted to buy a flat in Warsaw. Then, while staying near Tarnów with some friends during the year 2001, I picked up the weekly newspaper "Temi" and read the 'ogłoszenie' section. I saw an ad for this place, met with the owners, viewed the property and fell in love with it, and subequently purchased it. During that same year, I had purchased one other farm in a village located approximately 25 km away from here also in the mountains. The other house, a wood log cabin, is in dire need of renovation, but can be preserved more or less in it's original form. I just don't have the time for that place right now. That is the next project on the chalkboard. So, I came here on June, 2002 and have been here ever since. I tore down the old wooden house that once stood, and replaced it with a new brick, stuccoed and painted one. It's a shame that over half the logs in the former wooden house were rotting. Otherwise, it would have been spared from destruction. Actually, I saved half of it, placing the logs in exact order on a new foundation. So, it is now another farm building. It's been alot of work, and I've actively participated in the entire construction process, from mixing cement to building forms. It's a nice learning experience. > btw, check out a handful of real nice photos of Tarnow: > www.tarnow.pl/galeria/galeria_prezydenta/stelmach/index.php Hmmm....those only show the 'new' section of Tarnów. I'm an avid fan of the 'old town' of Tarnów. Check this page out: www.tarnow.pl/historia/zabytki/index2.php Best Regards, Eugene Odpowiedz Link
usenetposts More plugs for the NW vis a vis the SE 15.03.06, 12:24 I hate to bring this up, but if you calculate the range of the Iranian missile arsenal, which is 2000 km, Malopolskie is just in range. If you could find an identical spot in Pomerania to a place in the area of Tarnow or Rzeszow, you would have the advantages of more access to the sea and to lakes, and also the distinct advantage of being almost twice as far from the Islamic world. Another practical advantage to Pomerania is that you can more easily pick up English language radio while driving at night. In South Poland it is hard to get the strongest UK private radio signal, Talk Sport, as Radio Iasi from Romania is broadcasting on the same wavelength as the Droitwich transmitter. Odpowiedz Link

Dave, if you do the same with the Russian Missle Arsenal, I'm afraid we are 'all' in range. > If you could find an identical spot in Pomerania to a place in the area of > Tarnow or Rzeszow, you would have the advantages of more access to the sea and > to lakes, and also the distinct advantage of being almost twice as far from the > > Islamic world. In Małopolskie and Podkarpackie, we have Lake Roznów and Solina, and many less mosquitos as well. Then throw in the number of voluptious farm girls parading around who don't wear bras under their shirts....the advantage points are beginning to swing in favor of Małopolskie. > > Another practical advantage to Pomerania is that you can more easily pick up > English language radio while driving at night.

kylie1 Re: More plugs for the NW vis a vis the SE 15.03.06, 23:19 >Then throw in the number of voluptious farm girls parading around who don't >wear bras under their shirts They're very smart, Eugene. Apparently bras can cause lumps and fibrocystic breast disease. Besides what's there to hide when you are still young! Bless you and enjoy your young free life. Boy,those good old days I used to go jogging without a bras...it was nice, felt airy and pretty.....Those Barbie days were scarily nice back then but unfortunately they don't last forever. Jogging without a bras today? Can't do it - those two things would be bouncing all over the place obstructing my view and I like to see where I am going. Odpowiedz Link

Kylie, you sound like a woman I'd love to hang out with....you should pack you gear and come to Poland sometime. In fact, it would be nice to have the entire gang here on "Foreigners Living in Poland" to come to my place when it gets nicer outside. A weekend of campfires, laughter, good jokes, good wine, and innocent fun! I refrain from elaborating any further. Cheers, Eugene Odpowiedz Link

kylie1 Re: More plugs for the NW vis a vis the SE 16.03.06, 07:55 Thank you, Eugene I appreciate the invite. I really do. I love the area where you live and it sounds really tempting! You might get a little surprised at how I drink beer...my husband thinks I have the social graces of a truck driver and, to be honest with you, it might only gets worse if my taste buds take a liking to Zywiec and Okocim. I will make sure you spend quality time with me: I will show you how to burp and say your name at the same time. You got so much to look forward to. The campfires sound great! Marshmallows? I will send you a little private e-mail if that's OK with you, Eugene. Have a great day! Kylie Odpowiedz Link

Secondly, what makes you think they would target Malopolska? Thirdly , are there more lakes in the NW than SE. You're thinking of NE? 4thly , and this may perhaps worry you (!?) there are A LOT more crazy f***ers who wish death upon Europeans in Germany (and UK etc.) than in Bialorus...who would you like as neighbours? (they could get you from Berlin with a compact short range weapon) As for English night time driving radio I personally prefer the peacefulness of driving at night w/out radio/music, and the sounds of the engine, whether it be a kaszlak or a beemwica.
