True, especially when the zlote is loosing its value. keep in mind the average wage in poland is just over 3000zl and it is much harder to get credit.
So there are still propertybargains out there. All is not lost...

History / An apology to Poland from Australia [55]
This is a very accurate statement, and should be taken in context, The Australian soldier was a happy go lucky type of person and resented the strict discipline of the British. The Australian soldier believed the British to be inferior soldiers made worse by the fact that the British made the major military decisions. They made fun of Officers and all the crap associated with the war.
The Australian soldier had a very high regard to Polish soldiers in the WW2
McCoy:
to kick some british asses.
This is precisely the kind of level of idiocy I have come to expect on Polish Forums.

Thanks for your response and getting it off your chest. No one is trying to insult anybody Pani Polska, but lets get all this in proper perspective, The Press and TV are having a field day selling newspapers etc, in scaring people. Its interesting that a lot of people have made a lot of money, just look at the price of some of the shares associated with medicines and blood. Lets just get on with the business of living and not paranoia.
There were people who stocked up with food and water during the Y2 scare, people who went to the land of the missing during the bird flu scare and now we have people washing there hands every few seconds as a result of a swine flu. Its best to stay in bed all day otherwise you might get knocked over by a car or some other misadventure. Get a life will you.
No need to be so bloody rude, the poster said they were worried so I suggested staying in as much as possible, not locking herself in a box for christ sake

Life / How much Zloty to have an average life in Poland? [98]
Are you telling me that people living in Olsztyn on the average wage of 2500zl a month walk around ransacking rubbish bins for food and clothing in order to survive!!!
What sort of nonsense you are writing.. You may want to itemise your expenses and prove your point.
5000zl a month brut is a good income and the average Pole would live good on this money.
(unless your a gambler or drunk)

Poland is for Poland, not for the British or Irish or Jew.
It is also true that those who are not Polish should go elsewhere.

The only reason cadburies invest in Poland is because they can get cheap labour, most foreign companies are now finding it cheaper going to Romania, the people who benefit are the greedy shareholders in GB... Short time gain long time pain.
quote=SzwedwPolsce]Sorry, but other Polish people don't think like you. I'm Swedish, and I have lived in Poland for 2 year. Almost Polish people I have met have been nice and welcomed me to their country. You are an exception from what is normal in Poland.[/quote]
You are not Polish and should not comment, its pretty obvious if a group of foreigners get together they would share different views than those in a Polish group.
I'm sick and tired of non Poles telling us how Poland should be run. Go back to where you come from and let Poland be Poland.
I'm sure if a group of Poles went to the US and wanted the Americans to change there laws etc, they would be promptly told where to go.
Does that go for foreign companies investing in Poland? Maybe Cadburies should have gone somewhere else, or maybe the 1,000s of Poles that came to the UK should have gone somewhere else.

I've made my point and no need going back and covering old ground, Get your facts right most Poles don't like the foreign invasion full stop. Most foreigners enjoy Poland because it is cheap, friendly and girls are attractive. A person who is a no body in GB etc can be a somebody in Poland because he is able to flash his dollars.

Opinion is cheap, what we are talking about is real estate in Poland, I'm sure if people from a foreign country were buying up real estate in the UK and pushing prices up, you would hold my opinion. The Brits/Irish in Poland have no intention of putting into Polish society apart from cashing in and then returning home. The poles in the UK are just doing the crap work which is beyong the dignity of the Brit to do.( a repeat of the situation of what occurred in the US with the Negro population)
That would be like saying Poles in the UK have to be fully integrated into the British community before they are entitled to express their opinion.
