Life / Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland [235]

can we bring the thread back to its title 'Local Poles taking advantage of foreigners living in Poland' the first couple of comments made me laugh then the thread just died....

anyway since i moved here half a year ago i havent had much trouble with the greedy b&!stards i tend to just be rude back as soon as i smell there attitude... then they seem to act ok.but dont get me wrong i can see that if i didnt have my girl for a translator they would probrerly try and steal the lint from my pockets...

Life / Should I expect culture shock when coming to Poland from the US or UK? [34]

First of all, on arrival you will just stare with an open mouth, then its the comatose stage, when the novelty wears off its time for the depression stage (usually when trying to register for a temporary address at the local office), then, its the vodka stage and everything is well in the world, bit like a Disney film really

lmfao....

I went through these stages.... still stuck on the vodka stage lol...

and if you want to live in Poland follow Wroclaw Boy's advise...
When in Rome, drive like them, be arrogant like them, drink like them but most importantly dont trust anyone and be as aggressive as possible in business.

What part are you in Hu_man?

im in Katowice not far from Krakow...... and im from London.

of course there is going to be a culture shock in a different country and you probably don't speak the language so there will be a lot you wont get even if you have someone to constantly translate or explain you still will never fully understand what's going on....

but i kinda like that in a weird way

Life / Who has moved to Poland in the last year? Swap stories. [115]

at least they were entertaining, individual, great fashion sense, generally pretty nutty and made me laugh a lot

I have to agree although i am fed up with them i am a little, really little bit missing them for the points above..... but there are quite a alot of funny wierdos in poland..

a

15% of the Polish population who do not want to leave Poland

unfortunatly my girl falls into that catagory :(

Obviously there are things which i will miss but in general i miss the standard of living i used to take for granted in the UK

what standards.... i dont find my standards have droped since moving here

Life / Styles in Poland: What do people wear? [65]

Its funny it seems only the woman care about what they wear or have a sense of fashion... most of them look hot...And it looks like the guys just grabbed what ever the f*ck they could find and shoved it on.... this is just from my perspective ..
