1-5 from the not from the US ask meme!!
Hi Mage! Thanks for the ask! I live in the UK but fuck it I'm gonna answer about Poland.
1. Favourite place in your country?
Probably Lębork, the town my grandparents live in. We go there everytime we visit Poland and I love it. I also loved the woods behind my auntie's house before they were cut down ::( I'd like to visit Bieszczady, I feel like I'd love them.
2. Do you prefer to spend the holidays in your country or abroad?
Uuuh, I feel that I'd enjoy any holidays in Poland a lot more if my extended family wasn't involved as much. I love them dearly, but there's so many of them and they can be overwhelming. I'd love to explore Poland on my own terms, but I'd also like to explore Ireland and other places. Guess it depends.
3. Does your country have access to the sea?
Yep! The Baltic sea. Or Bałtyk, as we call it. The closest beach is in Łeba, which is always full of people and the city lives off it. Tri-city (Trójmiasto) is tied to it, too, especially Gdynia. I loved visiting it as a child, all the ships and ship merch and amber jewellery.
4. Favourite dish specific to your country?
Idk if these are Poland-specific or just slavic but I love a lot of them. Pierogi, barszcz, bigos, krokiety (but only the type my grandma makes. Haven't seen anything similar to them anywhere), kluski, drożdżówka, and of course
Any time any day any size and quantity. If you don't take them from me I won't stop.
5. Favourite song in your native language?
"Hej Sokoły" is beautiful, but I also like songs by Diaboł Boruta and Othalan, two metal bands I like.
