Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

they're heating it pretty good . I get hot actually and open the windows a little bit .

So they started heating already, lucky you :) Then turn the heating down when it's too hot ;)

lol we have cold winters and hot summers and warm springs ,you on the other hand :P *check the picture you posted here * :P

Well, I've been only to Europe so I don't know how it's like a bit more to the South :P So you have radiators in Syria? :P

My dorms are modern and very well equipped ,and I live on the first floor anyway :P

;)

Let's hope they're well maintained in his building - I've lived in places where the system hasn't been flushed out for decades and the heat never reaches above the second floor!

Oh, yes, jon357, let's hope he won't be so unlucky as you were! We wouldn't like dany to freeze to death, would we :)

oh I will :P it's my favorite alcohol drink :)

OK, then you'll do just fine in Poland lol ;)

oh trust me ,i've noticed -_- ,september is still hot back in syria ,and here it's cold ,well it's not irritating cold ,it's nice ,but it will get worse :/ we're still in september ..

Yeah, and they're not heating in my neighbourhood yet :/ Btw, dany, if they're not heating in your dormitory yet (and I don't know if you have any need for radiators in Syria :P, so a piece of advice, just in case), turn the radiators to the maximum heating power because when the heating period will start they will be filled with water and they have to be turned to the max.

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

From what I've read now on the net both the goats and the mechanism were exchanged (interchanged?) for new ones over the years, so obviously they aren't the original ones from 1551. So only the idea is hundreds of years old :)

it was a disturbing sight ...

And it's going to be worse, dany... Brace yourself, here's the whole truth about Polish seasons:

Drink some vodka, maybe then you'll survive (but not too much! lol) ;)

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

I found it funny how pedestrians stop at traffic light even if there are no cars at sight

I do that too xD :P

syriacs are christians who still speak the language of jesus

Wow, cool.

No. Aramaic is still spoken by hundreds of thousands of people, albeit in a different form to the language that Jesus spoke.

True.

Some people in Poland look older than they are because of the high alcohol consumption, stress and cigarrete smoking, which ages a body faster.

That's some people, not many enough to make such an impression on dany. I think jon357 is correct, European societies in general are getting older. Plus many Poles emigrated abroad (older people are less likely to emigrate).

Anyway, welcome to Poland, dany! :D Keep us posted and good luck with everything :)

Love / Polish girls- breasts size [65]

I do whatever I want! If you feel offended stop using internet!

Even on the internet there are some rules (written and unwritten ones) :)

but trust me you seem to be a really boring lady

Blue, it looks like I would have been a good candidate for a mod after all - I've just met another requirement ;D

(assuming by your name).

LOL xD

Well, guys and ladies, I've noticed that Polish girls have really nice a*se, compared to their tits, they are slightly bigger and curvy!

You, local_fela, on the other hand, seem like a very interesting man, with many fascinating things to say (and you're definitely not repetitive, boring and chav-like) lol

You really do need to note that this is a public forum. You and your buddies sitting in a bar and talking about female body parts is one thing; this, however, is Polish Forums and such conversations are not appropriate here.

Thank you, Harry...

News / Have You heard about legalizing 12-hour working day in Poland? [38]

Has anything actually changed?

A fragment of another comment:

It's nice that they explain it as doing in the interest of the citizens, what a farse.
Now every nutcase can tell you to come on Sunday to work for 20 hours and he will give you back on your free time after a year.

As I understand it, all that changes is the reference time period, meaning employers can use their labour more flexibly. Yes, it means that people might have to work longer hours, but they will get those hours back at quiet times. It was a badly needed change, especially in the service industries.

It may look like a "badly needed change", but I'm afraid that in Polish reality employees that were exploited already will be even more exploited.

We'll see what it will look like, I guess.

News / Have You heard about legalizing 12-hour working day in Poland? [38]

Yeah, I guess we all know what it will look like in Poland...

One of the comments (translated by me) from under one of the articles from the links I've given:

I can't imagine this "elastic work time", I already work my ass off for 11 hours a day, so what am I supposed to do now.

Hence the protests, I guess:

News / Have You heard about legalizing 12-hour working day in Poland? [38]

Extend the reference period of time up to 12 months , changing the definition of employee day , lowering rates for overtime work - these are just some of the proposed government changes to the Labour Code . - We will work for 26 weeks in a row , 12 hours a day ! - Threaten trade unionists . Meanwhile, the Ministry of Wladyslaw Kosiniak - Kamysz has a few other ideas to make life easier for businesses affected by the crisis.

The government of Poland supported by the parent party - PO - and business organizations want to enter permanently into the Labour Code flexitime . The project approved by the parliamentary committee remarkable , and this week will be on the MPs to vote . What will change ? Each employer will be able to introduce flexible working hours . For example, on Monday an employee starts work at . 8 and Tuesday at 9 .

Parliament of Poland adopted an amendment to the Labour Code , which allows the employer to work flexible hours . Under the revised rules employee can work more than eight hours , and the employer does not have to pay him overtime , provided that during the 12 -month accounting period the company " give " to the employee the additional hours shorter amount of time in other time - writes " Gazeta Wyborcza."

Polson, you can do whatever you want, obviously, but personally I'd rather you didn't keep posting.

Compared to global politics discussion about Polish girls- breasts size, seam quite relaxing.

Could you, guys, relax somewhere else, please? There are appropriate sites and forums for this. The internet is full of those sites.
This is not a man-only forum and I'm really sick and tired of the way Polish women were treated on this forum some time ago and I really, really wouldn't like this to come back.

Not really! it makes sense! its natural to have a glance at em' tities or 'breast' as you mentioned, me sophisticated lady! ;)

Dude, I'm not writing about glancing, I'm writing about your thread which is both idiotic and pathetic lol

right to the fact! I have been with few nice chubby girls here in Poland, well, I might say that they got the 'normal' breast size- I believe they are meant to have slightly bigger and the skinny one should have had those sizes my chubbies possess!

I wonder, do you have a "normal" brain size? :D ;)
You know, why don't you become God and create women into your own liking lol
Or move to a country where women have bigger breasts lol I'm sure Poland and the small breasts won't miss you xD

Given your post, how do you think of women any differently than the OP?
I understand that's your 'preference' but you are still grading women not by their personality and charachter but by their breast size and shape

True.

How about showimg some respect to the fairer sex rather than objectifying them...

That's a truly revolutionary thing to say, blue... ;D I'm not sure if men are ready for that lol

And that's all I have to say on this subject, as I don't want to feed the troll anymore :)

Haha, młotek, yes ;) But "młotek" usually only means that someone is stupid (and usually young). "Burak" describes also general behaviour, lack of class - very low level, like bellow the muddy bottom of a lake ;)

because I dont want to insult some people here

Then why don't you use the word "breasts" instead of "tits" and "tities"? This thread is idiotic enough without you behaving like a 14-year-old boy who has never had a close encounter with any o_O lol

I don't know how it's like in the Anglosphere, but here in Poland I can recognise a "burak" (let's say it's a Polish version of the word "chav") by him using word "cycki" instead of "piersi".

News / Premier says no recession for Poland [148]

Let's call it Małopolska :P It sounds much more appealing than "Lesser Poland" ;)

Not my fault that it's called like this in English :P

Again, I have to ask, what land?
Is it land situated next to villages, fields?
Or do you mean land in the middle of nowhere or between cities where noone lives?
I'm asking because I still don't understand entirely what you mean.
I've visited a few countries in the West, as well as Slovakia, and other parts of Poland, of course. I didn't pay any special attention to the number of farms in each country, obviously, but I think I would notice if farms and pastures were popping up everywhere covering almost all land available o_O

You write about Bieszczady - it's a mountainous area, isn't? Soil in the mountainous area is of the poorest quality as far as the arable land is concerned.

My mum told me that the soil where my grandma lives is not the best too, it's sandy and there are many hills there. When it's raining the soil is going down the hill, everything is washed out and there your crops go. As you can imagine it isn't a rich area.

If it's govt. owned why can't it be leased to farmers so that crops can be grown and herds can be grazed upon it?
Farmers would make some extra money and could increase the size of their herds/the yield from the crops they grow etc.

I have no idea who owns the land that isn't owned by anyone, my guess would be it belongs to the state.
As for leasing - I have no idea either, why don't you ask the government :P
Some of the land may be the property of national parks, especially in regions like Bieszczady, I imagine.
Sometimes you can also hear on the news that some ecologists say that there are endangered species of some insects, frogs, birds, otters, beavers, etc. and so from now on this land, meadow, swamp area, etc. is under protection and the surrounding land has to be under protection too.

Exactly, it's the total inefficiency of it that I cannot understand.........

People, Poland is years behind the West in many things so I don't understand why you think agriculture would be any different lol ;)
Of course, it's changing slowly, some farmers buy out lands and create bigger, modern farms, with modern facilities and equipment.
Of course, as usual, the problem may be money. Another problem, I suspect, may be the fact that many young people move to towns and cities. That's what my mum did and her two sisters. As you probably can imagine my grandma won't be modernising her farm and buying out land lol She had to sell all her animals except for chickens and geese, because she wasn't able to take after them anymore.

Another problem may be (but that's only my guess) is that probably it isn't easy to buy out lands because there are so many small fields that belong to different families and all of them may not be willing to sell their land. So it's rather pointless to buy one small patch of land here, and another over there, etc.

According to this article 80% of farms in Poland isn't bigger than 15 ha:

There will be money for subsidies and loans to small farms. Ministry of Agriculture is working on guidelines of the Rural Development Programme
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is working on changes in the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020. This is related to the entry into force of the new EU budget perspective. Part of the funds allocated for agriculture will be spent differently than before. - The point, in general, is to make farms more modern and commodity - explains Kazimierz Plocke, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.

newseria.pl/news/beda_pieniadze_na,p1281522467

According to what I've read here the biggest complaints of small farmers (like the producers of cold cuts, sheep's milk cheeses, vegetable oils, juices and vegetables) are too complicated and unclear regulations, bureaucratic constraints and too few marketplaces:

23 April 2013. in the Senate conference "Small farmers a chance to develop local market", organized by the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. MPs, experts and agricultural producers discussed the possibility of the development of local agricultural markets and direct sales as an alternative to globalization and imported food.

Opening the Senate meeting, the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator George Chróścikowski pointed to the advantages of direct sales. Thanks to the farmer - the producer can understand the needs and expectations of the customer, as well as respond quickly to change his tastes. In turn, customers can buy cheap fresh product originating from known and reliable manufacturers and get information about the products and how they are obtained.

How do you know its fallow? Unused land has tree and bush growing on it, is that what you see?

And that's a good question, too, I suppose. Sometimes when we were going to visit my grandma in the countryside I would tell my mum: "Wow, what green grass!" and mum would tell me then that it wasn't grass, that it was young rye (or sth of this kind) and it simply hadn't grown yet ;)

Poland, South East & East, tons and ton of empty land not being utilized.

I live in Lesser Poland and I don't get it what you mean by those "tons and ton of empty land not being utilized"?

Are those lands around villages, fields? Or you just drive a road from place A to place B, you see grass and you think "empty land not being utilized"?

Is all land in other countries which is not cities and forests covered in fields utilized by farmers?
Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean o_O

CMS had a good post about it earlier in the thread.

About what? He just writes that you can't make a big business out of a small farm. And there's plenty of such small "family" farms in Poland.

We'd all love that.

Then why don't you all just move to Germany? lol

Under EU laws, people from countries outside the union only get a working permit under very special conditions. The link doesn't explain that completely.

Dunno, for me it looks like everything is explained in that link.

What about the Polish EU citizens? Shouldn't they lign up for those jobs?

Oh, I'm sure they do, but in the West, where payment is higher and the locals aren't too eager to do those jobs :)

if animals are grazing on it then it's not empty :)

Well then I'm not sure what you're talking about and my questions still stand:

What land exactly? And where is "here"?

Is this land situated next to people's houses, their fields or sth that you think it should be used in some way?

Paulina

Just wondering: how is that even possible given the fact that both countries are outside the EU?

Um... It looks like it's explained in the link you posted...?

I thought EU citizens have to be given preferential treatment when it comes to hiring.

As babysitters, cleaning ladies, care takers and working in the fields in the countryside? I can already see all those EU citizens lining up for such work in Poland... lol

Obviously you don't live here and see that the land isn't being used for that.

What land exactly? And where is "here"? When I go from Kielce to the countryside to visit my grandma I see cows, horses and sometimes goats grazing on "empty grassland". The same is in my grandma's village. Every family owns a meadow or two and they leave their cows, horses, etc. to graze there for most of the day, then they bring them back to the stables before the evening starts (except in winter, late autumn and early spring obviously).

It's a common view in the countryside.
So what kind of "empty grassland" do you mean?
Is this land situated next to people's houses, their fields or sth that you think it should be used in some way?

Have a wonderful day.

Thank you, kind sir :)

Wages in Poland are significantly higher than in Ukraine or Belarus, does it really mean anything?

Well, doesn't it mean something if Ukrainians and Belarusians are coming to Poland to work and not the other way around?

JanK lol

So much land is fallow, it's just empty grassland, can anyone explain to me why this land isn't be used productive

JanK is right, that "empty grassland" is usually used as pastures for cows, horses, etc.
