… the „National Pocky Day“. Seriously. For those of You who don’t already know: Pocky is a manufacturer of sweets,and because 4 of their chocolate-coated sticks lieing next to each other look like 1 1 1 1 the 11th of November was,by this company,declared „Pocky Day“. To those of You,who don’t care or/and are German: Today,starting at exactly 11.11 am  it’s the beginning of Shrove Tuesday so have fun.

To those of You who are Polish: It’s the National Independence Day so here are a few word adressing this:

Szanowni Rodacy (szczegolnie Wy,ktorzy oczymaliscie obywatelstwo Polskie w tym roku),przyjaciele panstwa i narodu Polskiego!

Dzisiaj,gdziekolwiek by to nie bylko,Polacy,ludzie pochodzenia Polskiego i sympatyzanci swietuja zmartwychstanie pansta Polskiego po prawie 200 lat cudzej okupacji i opresji.

Zwrocmy dlatego dzis uwage na wszystkich,ktorzy walczyli,intelektem i doslownie,i ktorzy zlozyli ofiary,jakkolwiek bolesne tez byly,aby umozliwic to wszystko. Miejmy ich ducha i zachowajmy i kultywujmy wszystko co jest pozytywne w naszym dziecictwie narodowym.Miejmy umietnosc aby pokonac przeciwnosci losu przywrocic ducha Jagellonow (=religijna wyrozumialosc i multikulturalizm) ktory uczynil Polske wielka!

Lez dosyc gadania, odemnie tutaj do Polski: Wesolego Dnia Niepodleglosci!

There is no joy without independence

Dear fellow compatriots (especially all of You,who have recieved Polish citizenship this year) friends of the Polish state and nation!

Today, whereever it may be, Poles,people of Polish decent and sympathizer are celebrating the resurrection of Polish statehood after

a period of nearly 200 years of foreign occupation and/or opression.

Today,let us therefore look back on all thoses who fought,intelectually and literally,and made sacrifices,however painful they were,to enable alll this.May we have their spirits and perserve and cherish everything that is positive from our cultural heritage.May we also have the ability to overcome adversity and to bring back the Jagellonian spirit (=religious tolerance and multiculturalism) which made Poland great!

But enought talking,from me here to Poland: Happy Independence Day!
