What do you think about Poland? Do you know any stereotypes about it?

The Polish people that I know can seem outwardly somber, but are friendly and have a very wry sense of humor. And know how to have a good time.
As you asked, the stereotypes that Americans and Brits (I'm both) have of Poland are:
- Polish people have a dour demeanor
- Polish people drink a lot, especially vodka (even by British standards)
- Polish food is bland (even by British standards)
- Polish people are patriotic
- Polish people have vowel-starved names, like Zbigniew_Rybczyński
In my experience:
- Polish people have a lot of respect for education and hard work
- Polish cuisine is excellent when done right
However, the names are still torturous for me!

M$Seriously, though, I think most polish stereotypes are generations old, but that may be based on my own upbringing. It seems like it's a fairly obscure culture because of the size of the population. Stereotypes probably vary based on individuals' personal experience.
