Again I went to an event at the Polish consulate in NYC. This time the management of the Warsaw stock exchange was pitching the benefits of that regional exchange. The pitch was in Polish so mostly expatriates attended that meeting. It was an interesting crowd. I met a stock broker from Trade Wall Street who runs the recently opened TWS Polish brunch at Greenpoint, yes Polish brunch in NYC! I met a Polish motivational speaker who espoused the lessons from Buddhism. And I met a lawyer who helps to organize the Pulaski parade. I just recently walked in the Pulaski parade on the fifth avenue with other Polish students from Columbia University. So it was a very polish centric gathering. Thus I got goose bumps when I hear the news that my brethren in Poland fear the German minorities celebrating their Oktoberfest and speaking German!!! Perhaps they need to hear about what Poles do abroad and like the Warsaw Stock Exchange we all need to connect and exchange ideas etc. As for me, as a sign of support for the German minority in Poland I am definitively wearing lederhosen for my next and eight visit to Munich for Oktoberfest!!! Go Global! Go Multicultural.
