28 degrees Celsius for the whole week. Horrific.
Still amazed how Lithuania's song for Eurovision did not get proper recognition during the contest, despite being in Lithuanian and not in English (!!!), with meaningful lyrics and a catchy melody unlike all other songs. And the orchestral version? Crazy.
God is a DJ.
The more and more I read posts here, and see all dudes from certain countries making comments full of hatred on women just because ladies don't want them (side note: they have no literal obligation to even want you, grow up man?👀) , I become legit convinced that Polish restrictive approach towards foreigners is the proper way, LOL.
To those, who are learning Polish - you may find that Poles often use totally abstract sayings in conversations. 🤨 It's good to know them, either to relate or just to laugh!
#1 Commonly used saying: Ni z gruszki ni z pietruszki
Literally: Neither from pear, nor from a parsley. (😂)
Similar in English: Out of the blue
Used to express that something happened out of sudden, unexpectedly.
Other similar versions: ni stąd ni zowąd (literally: not from here and not from the side), jak grom z jasnego nieba (literally: like a bolt from the bright sky).

Childhood of a Polish kid in Polish household is full of various traps. You want to grab that ice cream box out of the freezer - there's chopped up parsley or dill inside. You get a bottle of some dark fizzy drink without reading label or no label - it's Kvass and not Coke. You open up the cookie box, boom - sewing kit inside. Mom gives you chopped up apple - surprise, it tastes like onion or sausage. 🤷🏻♀️
Fun fact: if you visit Poland to study or to live, the first thing younger generation of Poles will try to show you will be most probably a song: Pięć Dwa Dębiec - To my Polacy and they'll love the opportunity to show you it.
Legit hope that Ukraine doesn't hope for our votes on Eurovision 2024, after their singer promotes UPA by wearing a BANDERCIAGA blouse. It refers to a war criminal who encouraged genocide on 120,000 Polish in Volhynia and Galicia 81 years ago. Know your heroes better :-)
