Ripped Off in Poland? - Expose here: [185]
I mean that they have been able to find work abroad and make a better life for themselves. This was my main focus.
well, I don't think that Poland's national interest was served best by people moving abroad.
What generalisations was she making, Ironside?
"his builds up a reputation for you as a people and frankly it's not the greatest. If you want a better international reputation then stop with the bragging and nonsense. The "stupid" reputation of Poles comes from the stubborn unwillingness to do more than the bare minimum or admit fault. If Poles don't know something they will lie or blow it off rather than admit it and find out or fix it....people don't like this.
I can go on for hours with fellow expats about the "Polish way" and we often have each other in stitches because there is so much that is "different" in Poland and it's rarely "better"."- I think above half-rant is hardly fair nor just!
You cannot pretend the bad parts don't exist
I don't but bad parts exist everywhere, did you heard about an American who had problems with tax institution and he had a plane ?
I mean that your problems in Poland are overwhelming for you because you are not used to deal with them.
. Many Poles just don't like to hear it but you admitted it yourself. She lost money and that's hardly fair given that, on the face of it, she didn't create the problems.
Its no fair, and it shouldn't have happened but it did, but it doesn't give anybody right to judge all people of the nation.
Sure some people get defensive when criticism is uttered by a foreigner in a blunt manner but most were just trying to make excuses not due to unwillingness to face it but rather because of embarrassment.
I'm not making any excuses, **** happens and there is nothing I can do about it,.... yet!
I think many people in Poland don't seem to realise how accessible their bureaucracy actually is, compared to the system in the UK
well, maybe but still there is a lot of useless and pointless hassle.
There is saying that one should always compare to the best!
