Via official postcrossing.com one beautiful girl Marta
sent me a postcard with Ruskie pierogi. She is 24 years old and has just
finished her study – movie and TV production (for me it sounds very
interesting!). So her first hobby is of course movie, serial and everything
connected with media. But her second passion is music. Marta just can’t wait to
go to her favorite summer festival – open air music festival near Baltic sea!
She expects something deep full of music and fun! (I hope, she had a great time
there!).
Poland is a
country in central Europe. The capital is Warsaw. The population is about
38,500,000. Official language is Polish. Poland has a long coast on the Baltic
Sea and is largely dominated by low-lying rolling plains in the north. To the
south, the Carpathian Mountains form a watershed and natural border with Slovakia.
Poland has more than 1,300 lakes. A Polish state and the name Poland existed as
far back as the year 966 during the reign of Mieszko I. The Kingdom of Poland
was founded shortly after in 1025. The name
"Poland" originates from the name of the tribe "Polanie"
which means "people living in open fields". Nowadays Poles as a nation are unified by the Polish language and a
common religion—Roman Catholicism.
Here is the anthem of Poland:
At the postcard you can see polish traditional dish – Ruskie
pierogi, cute dumplings. Polish pierogi
are often filled with fresh curd cheese, boiled and minced potatoes, and fried
onions. This type is called in Polish pierogi
ruskie, which literally means "Ruthenian pierogi" (not
"Russian").

Thank you so much for the postcard, Marta!
