It is rather tricky. If the company you work for, offers pension funds to one person in the company, then they are oblied to offer it to the whole crew of employees. In case that your company does not have a pension-funds, you must arrange that yourself and pay it to a private pension-company, which are expensive.
Which are, I guess obligatory

Life / Scammed in Poland again [49]
Whahaha i have met one other German guy, with the same story. Ilarious, but i didnt fall for it.
The best one was last week, in the other side of the street from my place, there was a group of british kids, with a paper card board stating: "We have been mugged, please help us get back home to the UK"
2 days later they were there again, with another paper card board saying: "we have not had beer for 2 days, please help us!
I had to laugh real hard!!
It reminds me of when I lived in Amsterdam, there was an English fella, who had a suitcase in one hand and an old ticket in the other.
His story was that he got mugged and was too late for his train and needed just enough money to get a new ticket and he would of course send the money back to you.
Yeah, I saw that guy there everyday.

Well that was my opinion on my own knowledge. I had some American collegues/acquaintances in some countries i worked/studied before, and man they sure were whining about how everything was not as it was done in the US. That was tiring!
But i have to change my list and put the Spanish first, we have a lot of them here, some are friends of mine, but they are always whining, why is amsterdam so expensive, why are house so small, why the streets are too crowded, spanish foods is the greatest, why this, why that...man!! sometimes i feel like tshhh!
And so on and so on!

But those are now few in Europe. Catholicism is dying.

Yeah, that's why we see in this forum, the lovely way that you communicate with others, from different opinions or different races. We see the love that you spread.

Devout Catholics simply know the procedures better and that's largely what places them apart.
But those are now few in Europe. Catholicism is dying.
Do all Christians religions partake in the sacrament of communion or is it only Catholics. I mean does Church of England, Methodist, Baptist etc receive communion on a regular basis?

Because they ignore the security regulations! driven drunk, gaining on the wrong side of the lane, speeding up/down, etc.
Give it time, irresponsability always leads to dissaster.
What a load of....., the number of casualties by traffic accidents in the netherlands are far behind those of the UK or Poland, FAAAR behind.
That's why driving is still crappy in Poland, it's easier to go with the flow than put your foot down and give an example.
are you an American? With all the health and safety, Hi Vis and speed cameras in Blighty people still get killed or injured on the motorways
Because they ignore the security regulations! driven drunk, gaining on the wrong side of the lane, speeding up/down, etc.
Anyway Mistic Meg when do I meet the judge, I am accident free all my driving life and I am looking to keep it that whatever Poland throws at me, so my driving style has changed to suit the conditions I now drive in and I do like it

If I drove here in an English styleee, I reckon I would be danger to the locals with my pottering along looking for potential picnic spots and tutting at all wrong doing, so I do choose to blend in. You walk out my door and most people if transport allows are doing 20 - 30 clicks above the limit in our village, the man with the clipboard is not here for me, so adapt and survive.

It craks me up how eastern-europeans catalogue everything that comes from the west as shallow or superficial. We are not, or if we are is at the same dregree as eastern-europeans. We 've got the same desires you've got ( health,a nice house, a car, money to spend, a good job,etc etc) the difference is that the majority in the west is able to afford it, that does not make us shallow. If you were sooooo spiritual and pure you would not come to the west in herds to make better money and afford your bmw, right?
Decent but stupid :P

It's been 20 years since the iron curtain fell, all of the eastern countries were open to the world and offcourse a clash of cultures happened.
You hear often polish or eastern europeans saying that the west is shallow, superficial, etc etc. But to be honest, those characteristics are not alien to the Polish communy, in fact they even go extreme on those.
What are your thoughts? does Poland hates the western culture even though they use it and adapt it to themselves? Or is it just a double faced statement and its fashionable to hate the western culture?
Please comment. I'm puzzled.
