It's my birthday on the worst possible day if you're polish and in the country. Yay Christmas Eve when I'm visiting my rellies in Poland. I'm about as likely to have a party here as a white man in the Bronx :S
Anyway. That might be a problem in the countryside, maybe. Lots of places and occasions to get roaringly drunk with pals in the Capital, the Old Capital, The-city-we-stole-from-the-Germans, The-city-whose-inhabitants-think-of-themselves-as-a-separate-nation and... that growth at the end of the Vistula.
