There is more to Poland than Kuba

This past Saturday I was invited by Marta to a Polish Festival. I decided that I had to go since I was finally invited somewhere. Edzui, Marta, two of Marta´s Friends, and I went to this festival. We met up with a lot of my host families friends at the festival. Unfortuanately I forgot my camera, so I do not have any pictures for this blog.

Everything at this festival was polish. I could not help but to think of Kuba. There was tons of young men dressed in bright red and blue polish clothing. The night started with food. I still don´t know what makes a sausage polish, but I ate two polish sausages or salchichas polacos.

My host family obsesses about the polish culture so much that its kind of annoying. Its probably similar to the environment in Yons Hall last year last year. Anyway... During dinner I decided to add my bits of polish knowledge. I started using the little polish that I knew. Apparently, the only words I know aren´t really the nicest things to say (Why didnt you teach me anything polite KUBA??) I started dinner by telling the lady next to me in perfect polish that she smelled like a monkey´s ass. Later we had a toast, so I raised my glass and said in perfect polish "cheers..." All was good until I added "...to the fat cow" not realizing that I was looking straight towards an overweight woman. I realized my mistake an accidently spit out "shit" in polish. For this I am blaming Kuba.

After dinner there was a show. There was polish music and a lot of polish dancing. The young men and women danced together and separately. They danced with a lot of passion and stomped their feet with a lot of force. It was very impressive and interesting to watch.

After the show they invited everybody else to join in with the dancing. After a short while, I felt like I was at a dance. They played some songs in spanish, polish, and english including YMCA. It was a very interesting and fun experience. I am so thankful to have met other polish people that are not as crazy Kuba. (for those who dont know, Kuba is a very strange polish kid that I go to school with and am friends with. However after this blog, I don´t know.)
