Poland – Famous Polish People

Toruń, Poland

I wanted to list here a few famous Polish people.
The first name that came to my mind was Maria Curie-Skłodowska,
the pope, Copernicus and Chopin.
But some people may be known because of current situation (e.g., Robert Lewandowski),
and others may be more or less known depending where you are from or what is your profession.
I’ll just write here a few names,
and please let me know, have you heard about any of them.

Marie Skłodowska Curie
Pope John Paul II
Nicolaus Copernicus
Frederic Chopin
Lech Wałęsa
Roman Polański
Stanisław Lem

Poland – Cold Country

Winter in Mountains, Poland

I often heard from people who never been to Poland that Poland is a very cold country (=with long, extremely cold winter). They would never said it about Germany, but Polish climate is like the climate of about half of Germany.

Winters in Poland can be very cold, but they can be also quite mild.
Anyway, winter lasts only 3 months; there is still spring, autumn and hot summer.
