Language / Why 'działka'? [10]
No, you can buy soil/land but not right to build anything serious there. If you build a house you are doing that at your own risk. Some beautiful day, they may knock on your door and ask what are you doing with sewage or something like that.
Is that a throwback to the commie era when people were reluctant to flaunt their wealth and felt that ‘działka’ sounded less pretentious than ‘dom letniksowy’, let alone ‘letnia rezydencja’?

I was extradited from the UK to Poland too :/ The only reason was that they found phillips screwdriver in my pocket. I yelled at the crowd "I'm an Electrician, let me go, let me go", recited Ohm law, recited 17th Edition wiring regulations but they was merciless. Resistance was futile :'(

Po polsku / informacje na temat pracy w olsztyn [3]
Jest tu bardzo trudno znaleźć pracę. Szczególnie kobietom.
Olsztyn to takie dziwne miasto, jeszcze nie turystyczne a już nie przemysłowe.
Fabryk jest niewiele. Jeden duży Michelin praca fizyczna przy załadunku i
Indykpol praca w chłodzie i wilgoci.
Facet (czytaj silny i zahartowany w boju) może znależć pracę na budowach
bo po kryzysie znowu coś drgnęło na Jarotach. Ruszyły też dwie duże inwestycje drogowe.
Strabag buduje ulicę Artyleryjską.
Kobieta może szukać pracy w galerii Alfa albo przy wykładaniu towaru w Tesco (praca w nocy).

Life / The central role of The Polish Balcony in Polish life :) [7]
''Over the years I have come to appreciate the central role that the balcony plays in Polish life. If an Englishman's home is his castle, a Pole's balcony is his wild outdoors. These tiny patches of real estate suspended in thin air are the birthright of all Poles. No matter where you are, you can see the mountains and the lakes from a Polish balcony''.
