Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Marzena: Poles tend to plan their evening at the very last minute, since they are quite spontaneous. So don't be surprised if you get invited the same day. Poles also love big gatherings, so it is almost always ok to bring a friend or two with you, but it is always good to ask if it is ok. If you get invited to Polish house remember, do NOT eat before you go. You will be offered plenty of food and saying that you have already eaten will not help.
