  6. I hear it everyday why can’t u smile ( I live outside Poland for over w decade)

  9. Biological withdrawal effects of long-term communism

  10. Better than fake smiles in the west, insistent fake smiles that turn the moment you aggro their weak minds

  11. It’s also a matter of regional culture – I’m for example from the southeast of Poland, and when I smile I look like picture nr 2, to the constant confusion of my american coworkers.

  13. Polish people think that openly smiling to strangers on the street indicates mental retardation or at least feeble mindedness. So, that obsession with smiling that some people have, is actually quite idiotic.

  14. I have barely any lips to speak of, like literally a thin line badly drawn so you wont see me smiling even if i am – i only have (wrinkly)corners of my eyes to prove that i am in fact a dude that smiles quite a lot😆

  16. A wystarczy kabaret jakiś oglądnąć i już weselnej.
