- Apologizing to Poland My latest column in the Krakow Post. "I wish to take the opportunity to offer my sincere and heartfelt apologies to the people of Poland.

Welcome to Polandian
Polandian is a great place to catch a sideways glance at life in Poland. Think of our blog as a fruit cake; rich with wit and satire, sprinkled through with nuggets of helpful advice & historical inaccuracies with a lingering, slightly intoxicating, after-taste that leaves one craving for more. Were it not for the odd crunchy pieces that taste vaguely of pork scratchings, it would be a prize winning recipe. Here’s what our readers have to say:
>”Hilarious, really – one of the most amusing things I’ve read about life in Poland in quite a while.” – Brad
>”Come on chaps – let’s have some more posts!” – Michael
>”Hilarious post… if I only knew what is it about???” – Ania
>”If this isn’t the best ever blog about Poland then I don’t know what is!” – Ernest Hemingway
(Okay, we might have made that last one up!)
