I worked in Poland for 3 years as szef zarządu - that´s President and CEO of a large shipbuilding facility in Szczecin. Don´t even try to pronounce that. Behind this tongue twister is the German city of Stettin, which had been German for 700 years until Mr. Ill Church decided it should be Polish. I found the younger generation to be open minded, eager to learn and pleasant to be with, but those older folks who grew to fame in the communistic regime were quite difficult to deal with. All of them tried to play tricks on me, but, although I never admitted it, I had picked up enough Polish to understand them talking to each other in their language, so they never caught me off hand. Without my loyal secretary Renata I would have been still lost. What really got them is that my last name is Polish, but I am a 6´5" man of girth, with (formerly) blond hair and steel blue eyes - not really Polish looking.
