Zapraszam Was do zabawy - Sprawdźcie czy jesteście Polakami? :)

6. You go to Midnight Mass every Christmas Eve and keep your Christmas tree up till February

7. You drink your wodka straight

8. You listen to techno

9. You don’t feel the need to add an "s" to "pierogi" because you know the word is already plural and it annoys you when others do.. However, you still add "y" to already plural english words... "chipsy", "dzinsy"

11. You are forced to listen to Disco Polo by your parents

12. You can spot Polish people like Asians can spot each other
