there are those who believe and those who don't.
But the world of those who do is so much more beautiful!

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


in one word; there is no place for us anywhere - abroad we are not welcome because we steal the locals' jobs and in PL because the market doesn't allow it...

Very difficult to be a Pole...

Love / Broken Heart, An amazing girl from Poland [139]


is this an order?

I will leave it as it is because I like it. I find it beautiful rather than sad and that's also why I chose it.

After all it's just an avatar - get used to it/ignore it, I don't know what's your problem...

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


I agree as well.

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


Thank you Seanus for the low estime of PL people.
That's what all the westerns think - back to mediocre wages.
The CEO of my company said that they chose PL because it has a population of 40 mln people, easy access to skilled, well educated labour (45% of Poles between 20 and 25 years study).

The wages were just one of the factors...

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


I did not mean that PL people coming back are more skilled.
On the other hand they have the right to come back regardless of the market - how would you feel if someone told you sorry you can't come back home because the market doesn't allow it????

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


geez Wroclaw I'm talking about life experience in general, not only professional. The experience of living in another country, another lifestyle, customs, way of doing things, having fun, eating, drinking, spending spare time, decorating houses etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

wyluzuj się...

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


I disagree - those who return bring back an additional experience and they are PL for god's sake and have the right to come back and work in their own country don't you say things like that!!!

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


sad but true, PL people are not among the most honest in the world - if they can pull out some money they will...

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


I'm not talking statistics but real life.
About a year ago I only heard about people leaving and now I hear more and more that this or that person came back. I hope it will continue this way, we need young, skilled, creative people here in PL and not some Kaczynskis...

UK, Ireland / "Polish ambassador warns - think twice about coming to Britain for work " [126]


well the British economy even less than that.
Actually, there is a lot of people coming back recently, a lot of my colleagues came back from UK and Ireland, some of my friends did as well. Those who are living in London are thinking about coming back within a year or so.

I came back to PL after 6 years abroad and can say that the situation on the labour market has improved significantly.

no it's not pathetic, it can happen to anyone. Once you had a connection with someone and you lost it you fear that you will never feel the same about anybody but it's not true. I'm sure it will be OK for you soon, you sound like a nice guy, just give it some time...

Love / Broken Heart, An amazing girl from Poland [139]


yes, you should do that - time heals all wounds. A good thing to do is to change something in your life, start something new - this diverts one's attention from the past and makes you concentrate on the future.

Anyway, I'm very touched by your story I wish you get over it quickly!!!!
How long did you know each other?

Love / Broken Heart, An amazing girl from Poland [139]


yes of course, but it's different when you know that you will go back in 1 month for example and when you don't know how long you will stay abroad.

Love / Broken Heart, An amazing girl from Poland [139]


I don't think she was lonely, from what I understood she came to UK just for a while - to get money to pay off a loan, so from the very beginning it was clear that she was going to go back home.

Love / Broken Heart, An amazing girl from Poland [139]


I agree as well + she's got his phone number so if she wanted to she'd have called him, or maybe she will once she sorts her problems out...

Work / Do I Need To Speak Polish To Get Around for 5 Weeks in Krakow [23]

You will be just fine Turtleonfire, do not worry you will not be the only person in Krakow who doesn't speak english.
As the others said, there are supermarkets all around the city so you will be able to buy your food yourself without even opening your mouth. They even have electronic cash registers that display the amount of money that you have to pay ;)

In case you do need to ask something to someone I suggest that you talk to young people as they are more likely to speak english.

If you feel very lonely you can let me know and we can meet up if you want.
Where do you come from?

News / How do people react when you tell them you are Polish? [71]


well said JustysiaS.
I worked with British people in Brussels and they didn't have major problems with PL poeple living in the UK. They were positive and often said that we were hard-working people.

For the Irish people that I came across in Belgium, they said PL people integrated quite well in Ireland as well.
Never had any of the negative reactions that I see so often on this forum.

Language / HOW DOES RUSSIAN CZECH, URKAINIAN SOUND TO POLISH SPEAKERS? [18]


I almost died of laughter only by reading this bit (it's Andrzej Rosiewicz).
For me Russian sounds great - it is very similar to Polish but I find it much nicer. As for Czech and Slovak, they sound hilarious to me, some words and expressions sound like a joke, I mean as if someone intentionally made it the way that it sounds very funny in Polish.

I don't know about Ukranian...

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


certainly the girls that you picked up were of low value and foolish just like your technics...

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


in this case find yourself a nice British girl with a perfect reputation and leave Polish girls alone.

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


this forum is full of threads like that because it is a Pollish forum so it is unlikely that members will talk about Brazilian girls' reputation, don't you think?

Also, please don't forget that for Poles the western girls/boys don't have a good reputation either, so I guess we are equal.

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


cool! I thought it was the case for most western-european cultures.

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


when someone comes over unexpected, like without saying "hey, can I come over this or that day", without notice - hope you see what I mean.

Love / Polish Girls Reputation [231]


I prefer to talk about stories that I actually know rather than about those that I've heard.
So here is a nice one.
I was in Radom/Poland for my friends' wedding. While I was getting my fancy-polish-wedding-like hairdo done my ex-boyfriend went for a beer and met this very nice, old couple. She was Polish and he was British and they have been married for I don't know how long. From what I can remeber, the biggest issue they had was that people from Poland would breeze in and he wasn't really OK with it.

Also, I know a few Polish girls that have been going out with Belgian and even Moroccan guys for quite a long time now and it works out fine, so I guess it is possible for a non-polish guy to have a normal, long-term relationship with a Polish girl.

sorry but my private life stays private...
So, what are the other places where a man could find some more trustworthy women - we didn't discuss this in my geography classes ;)
