Smak, Smaki, o Smaku… it means taste or flavors in Polish and everything here has smak. Bags of chips have extra smak, our bottle of mouthwash has smaku, there is even a food magazine called Smakawcja. There are lots of plays on the word smak. It’s a good word. As far …
We hadn’t planned on spending the whole summer in Poland, but here we are. We waited too long to book our next Airbnbs and have had to scramble around a bit to find available places during the heart of tourist season. At least one thing that is a plus to …
