Real Estate / Apartment purchase in Poland [226]

i have got a sterling account in a polish bank - i transfer money, withdraw it and take it to a local kantor where i get a much better rate than the bank offers... when we are talking thousands of pounds to convert then even the slightest difference in echange rate adds up...

Real Estate / Apartment purchase in Poland [226]

it is the pity that noone here invests in Krakow area....

i would love to invest in krakow - infact my first polish propert was in ruzjia - just by the university / motorola building / PJP2 library... a really good investment... until the city council decided that perhaps it could get more for the land than they had sold it for so pulled the deal... wasted my time, money and effort... cheers guys...

and now i work in the tri city...

and i think people are rude because of the flak we get from some for buying polish property...

people who behave in the way you describe iwona are not average people... they are ill mannered... uneducated... ungrateful... peasants...

Life / Do Polish people respect other cultures? [96]

Travel / The Polish immigrants' vacations in Poland - it used to be different [20]

To be honest people prefer to go to Thailand, where they enjoy cheap living, food, accommodation and excellent beaches (much cheaper than going to poland)

is it fair to make this comparison lef - other than they are both cheaper than Oz and the UK, thailand and poland dont have a great deal in common...

Real Estate / Apartment Prices in Sopot [18]

Are new developments more expensive than secon hand

often, yes

Where is your apartment in Sopot?

kaminy potok

It's about the same as NEW contstruction in the Chicago area in a very good suburbs

were more expensive than manhatten at one point

PS. Who buys these apartments for such a high price?

people who want to live in one of the top polish locations... and have a good investment

Not Poles anymore

still dont know what you are talking about ola...

News / English vs. Polish hostility [323]

If that occurred in oz, must people would be up in arms and demand a stop

correct me if i am wrong lef, but wasnt there a fish and chipshop lady not so many years ago who gained suprising support for her rather extreme rightwing political views... ?

Law / Poland - a more and more Investable Country [41]

but in england people can survive on there income, in poland most struggle from week to week.

lef... many many people struggle from week to week in england... believe me... which is why so many of them are burdend with debt...

UK debt is double europe average

Total UK personal debt has exceeded £1 ¼ trillion and at the end of November 2006 it stood at £1,278bn. The growth rate increased to 10.4% for the previous 12 months which equates to an increase of ~ £111bn.

Source: creditaction.org.uk/debtstats.htm

I've notice that some food items in poland are more expensive than they are in oz. just a few things that come to mind is petrol/sugar and beer.

last time i was in poland - just before christmas - i worked out i could drink 12 beers there for the price of 4 here and smoke 100 cigarettes for the price of 20

they dont call it rip off britian for nothing... we have to pay them

I'm just stating my point of view

respected

Law / Poland - a more and more Investable Country [41]

Don't want to stretch the friendship BubbaWoo but I suspect that ola123 will have the last laugh, your the one who claims everything is rosy in poland and when it comes to real estate the sky is the limit, I'm sorry, take off your rose colored glasses and live in the real word!~...most polish people earn a meager amount of money and this so called property boom will further make impossible for the them to enter the property market.
Or are you suggesting people from the UK will take over poland?

Not a wearer of glasses lef... rose tinted or other... i dont believe i have ever claimed things to be all rosy in poland... just that i enjoy my time their... and i am fully aware of what life is like in the real world... i live in it afterall...

...the amount people earn is relative to the comparative cost of living in their country... people might earn more in hard currency in the uk but life also costs them a hell of a lot more of their earnings...

i may well be lucky... but what i can buy with a little bit of money in poland wont even buy me a garage in the uk... a beach hut would be out of the question... hell... i probably couldnt even afford a cupboard in parts of london...

...and lets not forget that the english are a nation living on credit... our *western* way of living costs... if if the average brit wants to have a little taste of this life then they have to borrow...

our property has boomed in the uk too... and if you havent gotten on the ladder yet then good luck to you... this is living in the real world my friend... been there... done that... whilst poland was still wondering what its like to live in a free economy... and now you do... its sink or swim... instead of critising us... learn from us... coz weve been playing the game a hell of a lot longer than you...

and lets take another look at the real world... britain has been innundated with poles in the last two years... all looking for a better opportunity... and good luck to them... but if few brits come over to poland and buy a few houses... well mate... fair dinkums in my books... we arent going to take over poland... hell... the average brits struggles to pay their mortgage... if they are lucky enough to afford one... just as in poland...

you know what... how sad would it be if ola had the last laugh... poland and its people have a hell of a future in front of them... if they learn how to play the game... but lets not forget that until just a few years ago poland was living in a different world... they have to learn the rules of the new ame before they can even hope of playing in it...
