Life / The Poles in the New Europe: Looking for Bread Abroad [22]

i pretty much agree with the article, except for the part about language abailities.

remember that to find a job, English is only valid in GB. in other countries you can use it on holidays. what the Poles are recognised for in this matter is the ability to learn a local language to the level of a comfortable conversation in no-time. and comfortable conversation I mean understand/being understood, while not necessarily speaking grammaticaly perfect.

that's where the feeling of being an "expert" (i wouldn't use that word, though) comes to the picture.

:) I wouldn't dare to expect from someone to change that much. I tried to say that sexual preferences don't make a person THAT different. It's just, you know, what turns one on.

Life / Whats gay life in Poland? [140]

Gay life in Poland is in a rut. There's a general tendency not to accept things. Gay - bad, Jew - bad, different - bad. Plus, in case of gay life, even the dumb government is now acting against it as is church - which has way too much to say out there, in general.

So my advice. When your in Poland, adding the fact that your gay to the introduction - BAD IDEA.
As someone wrote before.

However, I'm convinced, you'll find your way around.

To the discussion on the subject of science tackling being gay as an illnes - only in Poland I heard such a stupid thing that gay is an illnes.

Someone wrote: Gay are gay and will always be different. What crap is that! I like blonds, my brother like brunettes. We're soooo damn different. I have gay friends. Apart from what kind of a human they sleep with, I don't personally see the difference.

UK, Ireland / info centres in england for a polish friend [8]

unfortunately, polish consulates/embassies suck, in whatever coutry.

Kelly, your friend obviously needs a language course first. then he'll manage finding any usefull information or whatever. I guess it's about job, isn't it?
