Wonderful scenery. Looks a lot like Cades Cove in the Smokies.

My pleasure! It's about as far as you can get...Β I grew up about an hour from there. Are there places like that in Australia?

Australia is very different. it is very difficult to find a place with this much old charm. Probably Europe will have similar "old charm" places.

Europe probably has a tonΒ of places with old charm, if you can get away from all the people, hehe. I hope the wildfires in Australia will die down soon...

It is much better here in Australia now, thank you. A rain has come and helped with the fires in Victoria. Even the air in Melbourne is much better now
As for Europe - you can find the true old charm with not many people in some of the traditional Polish villages. They are still the same as I left them so many years ago.

I am very glad to hear that, I hope the people there weren't affected too badly.
I've never heard much about Poland, aside from it being cold, haha. Perhaps I will get the chance to visit there one day.

Some of the people in the country area los everything, but the help is coming from everywhere. 3 lives were lost in Victoria.
Poland is great for travel. There are some amazing places to see there. Gdansk and Krakow are as stunning as any other old city in Europe. And there are the mountains (Zakopane) and the Mazurian lakes, and an amazing Malbork fortress, and many other stunning places. Still quite cheap for travellers with good tourist services. Highly recommended

I feel so bad for those families who lost so much, they've been in my prayers.
Those sound like beautiful places! Cheap is always good, haha. Is Poland your favorite European country to visit?

Poland is my home country. I spent the first 28 years of my life there so I am biased

Are you sure you're biased? I can't tell at all

Sometimes winters in Poland are cold, it really depends on the year. Similar climate to the French one. No, I haven't been to Ardeche, but I traveled not that far from this area.

I like winters to be full of snow, it's much prettier than a gray and dreary winter.
I would like to travel to Ardeche sometime, I hear it's very beautiful.

If winter - only with snow

I'm guessing you don't really get any snow in Australia? Thank you, I hope so too! But first, I have to visit my ancestral territory in Ireland
π: 0 β©: 1
We have a lot of snow for about 3 months each year in winter in the Australian Alps, about 350 km from Melbourne. Very good skiing conditions.Β
I would love to visit Ireland one day. One of my dreams. I read a lot about Ireland, because some of my favourite writers are Irish. Such a beautiful country and people.
π: 0 β©: 1
I never would've thought you could ski in Australia!
It is a beautiful country, and the people there have been so resilient throughout history, it's admirable. I can trace back my family there for 1,800 years, I'm very Irish, haha. And I have been learning the Irish language, I'd like to do my part to keep the culture alive.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I never skied here, but I went to the snow several times.Β
Yes, it is great to keep the culture of your heritage. I am trying to do it here in Australia - keeping our Polish traditions alive

Snow is so peaceful in a beautiful way.
I assume there aren't many Polish in Australia? It's a great thing you're doing, keeping your culture alive.

There is quite a large Polish community here in Melbourne. We have 2 Polish clubs and a number of Polish schools, churches and shops. Also once a year there is a Polish festival in the city attended by thousands of People

Wow, I never would've known! What is a Polish festival like?
My great-grandfather was from Poland, at the time it was Soviet, but the traditions have been lost to me, and overwhelmed by my Irish traditions.

The polish festival has a lot of fold dancing and singing, stalls with Polish food (dumplings, sausages, sour cabbage, donuts, cheesecakes and poppy cakes and some other food, and a lot of Polish beer of course. A lot of people, not only Poles, come to the festival. It is very nice and very popular. And it is all red and white like the Polish flag.Β

What is fold dancing? Reading that made me hungry, haha. That sounds like a very fun festival, and a good way to keep the culture alive. We have festivals here for most cultures, but they aren't as culturally accurate as they would be in the culture's home country. One day, I'd like to see a real Polish festival!

Sorry, my spelling error or autocorrect. Β It is folk dancing.Β
When we went to New York last year it accidentally happened on the Polish Pulaski day, but it was just a huge parade of Poles, and no sign of Polish food or dancing
π: 0 β©: 1
Ohh, I should've guessed that, haha. From what I have seen, Polish folk dancing is somewhat similar to Gaelic folk dancing. One of my favorite bands is Polish, they're called Beltane, I like their folk-type music because it reminds me of Celtic music.
No food or dancing, that sounds like a boring parade, it needs some dancing to bring it to life!
Irish parades are always full of dancing. Not so much food though, mostly dancing and alcohol.

ha ha it sounds like Polish festivals, lots of drinking and dancing.
I always thought rightly that the Polish and Irish people are very similar.
