Real Estate / Apartment Prices in Poland (first quarter 2007) [10]

mlody,

you live in chicago?

apartments in Poland in cities such as Krakow, Warsaw and Gdansk are still cheaper than ones in the US:)

if you sold in Chicago you would have approx $540,000 zloty

that is a lot of $$$ in Poland:) you can buy nice apartment for $300,000 zloty and still have $140,000 zloty or $46,000 USD left over :)

surnames ending in "cz" do not come from the Baltic, they orginate from east, such as Russia , Lithuania :)

Life / Question regarding Polish women vs Jobs abroad [110]

Merged: Why do Polish women always have to be house-maids or cleaning ladies?

why do Polish women always have to be house-maids or cleaning ladies?why? From Chicago to New York to London, England we see most of the cleaning ladies being polish.

even girls with university degrees are cleaning homes and apartments. it is sad as they are wasting their lives. yet i rarely see Russian girls as cleaning ladies why? are they more ambitious?

then there are the polish men abroad. 90% of them work construction jobs which often pay good however why can't we see more Poles in banking, engineering or computer science fields?

Polak ciagle jest robolem:(

it is no wonder the Jews in Poland used to say "nasze kamienice , wasze ulice":)

Life / Question regarding Polish women vs Jobs abroad [110]

sorry franek:)

nasze kamienice, wasze ulice means The Jews own the buildings, whereas the Poles own the streets.

Polak ciagle jest robolem means that the Polish person is always the labourer

Life / Question regarding Polish women vs Jobs abroad [110]

franek,

what racist slur?

this was a Jewish saying "nasze kamienice , wasze ulice":)

i meant to emphasize that "Poles" prefered to be laboureres both in Poland and abroad. While other ethnic groups in Poland such as the Jews, Germans and Russians owned the capital, factories and production.

i am interested why us Poles cannot break away from the "labourer" mind set.:)
