The Weather in Poland.
For those of you coming over to Poland.
I'll start.
Wroclaw: Today we woke up to frost. Blue skies most of the day and warm for the time of year. A big coat wasn't needed. This evening there is a light wind coming in from the west.
My forecast: Don't expect snow just yet.

Canada is a great place. Montreal is the cleanest city I've ever visited and Labrador is wonderful if you want to get lost in the out-door life.

The last time I answered a question like this I got shot down.
But. They might have loss of faith in government and their future place in society.
Some might lose a certain degree of hope when they see others doing well.
Being well educated and not seeing positive results from it.
On the other hand, I don't see that many examples of low self-esteem.

blackpool,
If you are living with, for example, your girlfriend's family and meals are taken care of then it's plenty.
However, it also makes a difference if you want to get out a bit and see the country.
Don't forget, if you have a problem, you can still use your hole in the wall card.

Stupidwelsh,
There are many Polish visitors to this site, who use it to brush up on their English.
Lack of care by manser makes him look a fool and I would of thought an embarrassment to other English Posters on this site.
manser,
Please, consider the image you are reflecting of yourself, when not taking care.

They don't come from a commercial, materilaistic background. Religion plays a part as do higher family values and education. This gives a more balanced view of the world, which may make Polish women more appealing.

Too low and they won't take you seriously but they might take advantage.
Too high and you fall at the first fence.
Ask how many pages there are in each contract. Think about your time and costs and take it from there.
Do not write anything in your own words.
If it goes for publication, the editor will have final say.
