1. 6e grootste land in de EU:<\/strong>\u00a0Polen is het 6e grootste land van de EU, zowel qua oppervlakte als qua bevolking (respectievelijk 312.685 km2 en 38 miljoen inwoners).<\/p>\n

2. Poolse pizza's:<\/strong>\u00a0In Polen worden pizza's zonder tomatensaus gemaakt. In plaats daarvan serveert de ober de tomatensaus aan de zijkant (meestal in een kan) zodat je het zelf kunt opgieten. Soms is de tomatensaus gewoon ketchup<\/p>\n

3. Uitgaande mensen:<\/strong>\u00a0Er wonen ongeveer 37 miljoen Polen in Polen en naar schatting 21 miljoen Polen in het buitenland - dat is ongeveer 36% van alle Polen buiten de Poolse grenzen. Hoewel de informatie over het totale aantal Polen in de wereld van bron tot bron verschilt, wordt het aantal geschat op ongeveer 60 miljoen.<\/p>\n

4. Naam dagen:<\/strong>\u00a0Van oudsher worden naamdagen meer gevierd dan verjaardagen. Jongere generaties beginnen echter meer dan vroeger verjaardagen te vieren. Het concept van naamdagen is dat aan elke dag van het jaar een reeks namen is verbonden (meestal 3-5) en dat je je naamdag elk jaar viert.<\/p>\n

5. Hondennamen:<\/strong>\u00a0De populairste hondennaam in Polen is 'Burek', wat het best vertaald kan worden naar \"bruingrijze kleur\". Daarnaast is 'reks' van het Latijnse 'rex' (koning) ook erg populair.<\/p>\n

Feit: Krakau was de hoofdstad van Polen van 1038 tot 1596, toen Warschau de titel overnam. Afgebeeld is Wawel in Krakau, dat ook de zetel van de Poolse koningen was.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Huwelijksleeftijd:<\/strong>\u00a0Polen heeft de laagste gemiddelde huwelijksleeftijd in de EU. De gemiddelde leeftijd voor vrouwen is 25,6 jaar en voor mannen 27,5 jaar. Het algemene gemiddelde is 26,6 jaar.<\/p>\n

7. Astronomen:<\/strong>\u00a0De in Polen geboren astronoom Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was de eerste die de theorie voorstelde dat de aarde niet het middelpunt van het heelal was. Een andere Poolse astronoom, Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), publiceerde de eerste gedetailleerde en nauwkeurige kartering van de maan.<\/p>\n

8. Kupala nacht:<\/strong>\u00a0Kupala nacht is een populaire feestdag en gebeurtenis waarbij sommige Polen over een vreugdevuur springen. De traditie is gerelateerd aan de zomerzonnewende en is ouder dan het christendom.<\/p>\n

9. Paus kanaal:<\/strong>\u00a0Er is een Pauskanaal in het Pools onder de Poolse tv-zenders. Dus als je de paus wilt zien, kun je gewoon de tv aanzetten en het pauskanaal selecteren.<\/p>\n

10. Laatste Poolse koning:<\/strong>\u00a0De laatste koning van Polen, Stanis\u0142aw August Poniatowski, deed in 1795 na 25 jaar afstand van de troon. Hij was ook groothertog van Litouwen<\/p>\n
