Life / A trip to a Polish supermarket [136]

UP DATED:

I have wondered how well this works? For example...fruits and vegetables are usually horrible quality at most places and you have to select the few decent ones. I can just imagine them tossing some bananas in the bag to fill your order and them being all brown and old. I guess if they were polite and decent about it this service might be attractive.

I haven't checked it myself but you can click on product and you can find customers opinion.

I have taken lettuce:

It is map with cities and towns with Alma shops.

Food / Good Polish Wines [74]

In the past we have invented first crude Brandy. It was much hoter in Poland in 1000 AD.

Now when climate changes and Poland has more opportunities...

We have some very good wines.

From south east (100 new vineyards) in my opinion they have the best wines in Poland.

You can get them in Polish restaurants. In 2009 there was plan to enter wider market.

In south west there are new initiatives as well

News / Should Polish citizens living abroad have the right to vote in elections [69]

For me Poles live in Poland.

I don't care about immigrants, maybe soldiers or people who are abroud for short term should vote...
What kind of Pole is that guy who lives in USA for 20 years votes in American elections, pays taxes there etc. It is not Pole for me. Maybe there in USA he is Pole but not here in Poland.

I have some relatives in France they are pure Polish. They wave Polish flags when they watch some sport games. They have interest in Poland, they claim to be Polish and it is very good they do so, they participate in some Polish events in France etc.

When you ask them about come back... they have life there, companies, childern go to schools, some are in mixed marriges. Of course they are all waiting for "this moment" but after 30 years in France ...

In France they are Polish but ...

When you tell them that Poland changes and Poland goes in more or less good direction (what is true) they feel offended that you undermine they Polishness because only one reason they can't come back is Police and Army on Polish streets... ;)

I agree with gtd ... longer than one year abroud and there should be no right to vote. Of course after move back to Poland they should be able to vote etc.

Poland in next 20 years is not going to be richer than USA, UK or France however I think every year we are going to be much closer to this states. If somebody claims to be Polish it is very good in our history we had thousands people who were living abroad, being Polish and not always having Polish blood. It is very good but the best Poles live in Poland without looking on their blood Maybe I've picked on Poles from USA because they vote on PiS ;) but I think the same about Poles form UK or France.

Once again it is very good that they feel Polish and wave Polish flags and as long as they do so I consider them Polish.

Everybody can be Polish but not everybody should vote

HAHAHA....I messed up...and am leaving it here for all to see so that nobody can accuse me of hiding anything. I thought you said Poland IS going to be richer.

in 25 years it is going to be richer look our GDP increase, sometimes in our history we were much richer than most of european countries.

U cannot punish people for moving abroad and broadening their horizons. Interview people at home who are supposed to be in the loop, u will likely find that they are clueless or have a distorted view of events.

yes moving from Poland 25 years ago ... and deciding about my taxes :)

OK now THAT is bollocks. Sorry but I don't believe Poland will be richer than Western nations in 25 years...closer to parity? Maybe...but richer? No way in hell

racist ...

We will be but this is not going to be success of people living abroad but Poles who live in Poland.

They are quite good. At the peak they have sold shares and bought bonds. Of course Vatican can't risk and spaculate but they have done the best possible move if we consider level of risk they can accept. The problem with them is that they don't have their own market... ;) but it is another story.

Even JustysiaS can express her poor feelings and little knowledge in Turkey :))

JustysiaS has inferiority complex :)

Would be a point, if we cared.

It is true. I have been to Russia and Turkey. Turks are like ... Italians.
