Life / What do you do for fun in poland? [15]
tempting....a nice Ferrari dino would be great , but not sure it would last so long on Polish roads around my place....a Hummer would be more suitable here....Oh and i forgot to include horse riding among my fun things to do...not an expert at that either , but manage to stay on most of the time....
Why don't you get yourself a red hot convertible?

Life / What do you do for fun in poland? [15]
Riding my Harley on a sunny day , camping in the forest , canoeing down the river , walking across the fields , enjoying a beer and a barbie with friends , ploughing through wheel deep mud in my 4 x 4 , cycling along the quiet tracks along the lakeside , watching the wild animals close to my home , taking photos of the pretty parts of Polska ,and when i get the chance , learning to fly a plane....but sometimes its just nice to sit in my quiet garden and watch the world go by , not that much of it passes my place....

Yeah , that was part of it....My first visit to Polska was in 1997 during a long journey to Belarus and Russia via all the Baltic states....Poland was just some place to rest a few days on route , the halfway point between UK and Belarus...but during a walk in the forest at 4am in the morning ( yep after driving 48 hours nonstop i could not sleep) i looked up at the millions of stars in the sky and felt a feeling of belonging i had not felt before....all very romantic , but thats how it was...i decided i would come back one day to live here....and despite the odds being against it...here i am...Yes i feel a bit of a recluse , but i can cope with that....I remember when that guy walked alone across the arctic , some body said to me how can anyone do such a thing completly alone for all those weeks....well i knew how...i could do such a thing,,,its not being a loner , i guess its being able to talk to yourself a lot....

Well i have a Harley...but its not a chopper....but yes , plenty of room here to store a few motors , mind you i think it would be better to sell the whole car to anyone wanting bits , and i could probably find a mechanic who could convert right hand drive to left hooker , but that might make the car not such a bargain price , and the Poles might have problems getting it passed the mot if converted...probably better i just find a local garage willing to take the cars for cash and then break them for parts....I have done the breaking myself , its a pain...some parts sell really quickly , but you end up with a yard full of skeletal remains , and have to wait sometimes a while to get your money invested back...Better i think sell the whole car , let somebody else get stuck with the crap....Mind you , saying that , scrap metal is worth money in Poland , and much easier to get rid of...not like in UK where you have to pay to get rid of a dead car...PM me for my email address....

I reckon you will make more money buying certain makes of car in the UK , then selling them in Poland for spare parts....A friend of mine in Poland needs a new engine for his bmw , i could buy the whole car in UK for much less than its going to cost him for parts in Poland....i see a market there....!

I have been to many places alone , in Poland , Russia , latvia , Lithuania , Belarus , Ukraine...never had any real problems due to me being English...Of course there are drunken idiots all over the world , that might want to start trouble with somebody for no good reason , but i would say that in Poland people are better behaved after a few drinks....Come on over , you will love the place , and most of the people are very friendly....

Crossed paths with the Polish Policja a few times as a proffessional truck driver , motorist , and Harley rider , never had any problem with them , i was polite to them , they were just fine with me...When i first came to Poland i was not aware of the requirement to carry all your documents on you at all times , got stopped a few times , and they could have given me a fine , but they didn,t , so no complaints from me there....On the other hand , when some stuff got stolen from my farm the Policja were unable to arrest anyone , despite me giving the name of the bandits , and their address....Fortunatly being a member of a Polish motorcycle klub meant there were other ways of seeing justice done....

My usual tactic when visiting the kids home was to disapear in the night so the kids didn,t have to see us leaving , but on this occaision the staff had made us a goodbye English breakfast , so we just had to be there....After this a group of girls gathered to sing this song , and of course the younger children realised we were going back to England....first the children began to cry , then the staff , then our group started to cry too...it was a special moment....its nice to hear the song again...
