Life / Do Polish people tend to stick together? [49]

I think they do, especially the ones who do not learn the language or have some difficulties assimilating to the new culture. They live in polish ghettos, work only with other Poles, hang out exclusively with Polish, eat only Polish food and drink etc.

yeah.. all the illegal poles and just the ones that seem to have issues assimilating to exactly what you said. i think they are missing out on some great experiences.. oh well.

Life / New Polish I.D. card. [Dowód Osobisty] - big fine if you don't apply [55]

(zameldować się)

i'm guessing that is exactly where you'll need it.

"numer i seria dowodu osobistego",

there also seems to be another number.. can't remember what they called it. any idea? the consulate had some kind of acronym for it but i surely can't recall what it was.

well, I can't say how it looks today, but when I was abroad to work (in Norway, 1991, so soon after the communism fell down) then the things looked exactly like described by Seanus and Matyjasz.

nothing has changed in 15 years.. this is how it has always been.

i don't think so....i don't stick with Polish people...

whateva' *rolleyes*

Let's put it this way, they don't stick together like Japanese do. They are joined at the hip. My girl was in Britain and she felt that Poles tried to cheat one another. They drift apart when abroad which is weird. On the other hand, there are clubs where Poles can learn English together and integrate more fully and, from what I've heard, the level of participation is quite high. Overall, I'd say that Poles feel a certain comfort in being with fellow countrymen. Asides from some exceptions, they feel uncomfortable using foreign languages and prefer to stick together.

One of the most visible heritages after the commie times here in Poland is this distrust to other fellow Poles out side of ones family and circle of close friends. Don't trust, everyone can cheat you, steal from you, everyone can be a stitch from the government and turn you in. It was to prevent people to organize themselves. Of course the commies failed (see Solidarność for example) but still the burden remains.

ding, ding.. you two have the severe case of polofobia. ;) :D

Love / Is it worth it, is my Polish guy trying to avoid me??? [49]

I was merely trying to point out that stalking is a serious behavioural problem amongst other psychlogical issues and in my opinion someone shouldn't be told they may be one unless you are qualified to do so. :(

If he didn't want her to contact him at all then he wouldn't be inviting her to stay and surely if you don't wish someone to stay in touch with you, then all they should do is say so ? People should be more honest with each other I think. We should all communicate in a way which expresses exactly what we think. Mixed messages confuse everyone lol........

right but how many people actually do that in real life.. not many. :(

stalking is basically anything beyond what one of the parties is willing to deal with.. constant txts and messages may not be exactly stalking but it is on the verge especially if the guy doesn't respond.. beside this girl talk to her 'friend' once a week.. i think waitng every moment for an answer from this guy is a little unhealthy..

I thought people who were stalkers suffered with a mental illness ?

so, now the cops have to be psychologists? you have to be kidding me.

So it's even harder to understand when a friend just suddenly goes silent.

it was all of a sudden or this is actually the pattern here?

When it's the latter, emotions come into play and not everyone thinks so sensibly at times. Maybe that's why ancilla needed to come on for a bit of advice. Hope things have or are working out for her there :)

right, and the advice was for her to lay off, no? because her behaviour could be construed as stalking, no?

PS Ignore Marek S because he struggles to deal with people actually being optimistic :o)

ignorance is bliss, eh? he tends to tell it how it is.. you may not like it.. see the beginning of this line.
