Dear Readers,

I hope the New Year started for you well! We usually start it with new hopes and new promises. I, myself, cannot believe that almost a month passed since we had New Year's Eve celebration! That always makes me think on how quickly the time goes. Much too quickly than we would like it to:)

This time I wanted to encourage you to read the article about minorities. Maybe it will change somebody's point of view on how monocultural Poland is. It has not always been like that! I hope you will enjoy the article and bring something new out of it!

Minorities in Poland
Although Poland is believed to be mono-cultural, there are ethnic groups that inhabit the country since ages. Their ancestors arrived to Poland in search of better life. Although they do not form strong communities, they still keep and their culture.

Once again I wish you all the best and a great Sunday! Looking at the snow all around Krakow, I hope it will be at least sunny (as it is already freezing one:)
