Australia /
I would love to meet Poles living in Sydney [56]
I would love to meet Poles. Managed to strike up a conversation with a few that I met down in Sydney. A couple of them were young and seemed really unhappy to be here, but i won't let that deter me. Sometimes I feel (and I know this from being in the UK too) that poles aren't really happy wherever they are. lol.
let's hope the polish club in the city and disco in Ashfield will be rekindled.... Come on Poles, it's up to you!
Travelling, working and studying. Yes i'm Aussie but have a German passport/ mother. :)
I have also been to Poland. It's very nice, but you know this.
edit: sorry I did not answer your second question. I liked the Uk. I spent a good deal of my life there and had some unique and wonderful experiences with some great people.
Unfortunately though, i graduated in 2009 and felt the effects of the economic landslide that's happening there and really just had to leave if I had any hopes of pursuing my ambition. But I think this is a better place for me in the long run comparatively.
Australia has a good and prosperous future and will fill up with others i'm sure. I'm looking forward to meeting more people from Europe as they move over in the coming years.
You see, what Europeans don't like to understand about this place is that it's constantly changing, and is very forward thinking. And can be said to belong to everyone and noone. Europeans can't handle that lack of rigid sense of identity. It took me a while to work that out too. Only by losing the mold can you truly adapt to the new world. The old world can be very addictive in that sense.
Anyway - there is money to be made here and a good life if you want it. Isn't that what we all want...? That and a fresh chance...? can you make something old, fresh?
I got stuck on the notion that I had to live in Europe if i wanted an interesting life... not so. The fact that I come from Australia with dual nationality has given me, like many other Aussies, the chance to live abroad. It really is the land of opportunity, but it's not Europe!
