Work / I'M SO SURPRISED BY THIS SALARY FOR IBM in WROCLAW 3000 ZL gross [135]


That's just an excuse for not to hire a person, because an employer would have to pay him/her more $. "Cheap labor" in Poland rules. Sad that educated people work below their qualifications and such little money.

UK, Ireland / Why can't the poles speak english, if they want to work in England? [35]


Only a couple Poles on this forum. Foreigners bring the bad reputation and attitude here. Sorry, if you got confused. ;)

Food / Ajerkoniak anyone? [4]


Kogel- mogel plus spiritus? ;)

Ajerkoniak is like eggnog, right?

USA, Canada / What are the odds of my girlfriend getting a USA tourist visa? [70]


Not anymore. Knowing Engish is common now.


How about working at McDonald's or any other restaurant? It's an idea for young people.

Just a question. What do you think?

Real Estate / Where to live, where to avoid in Krakow [28]


Funny. Good luck. Nobody would rent there. And not for that price!

Try Krowodrza.

Life / Some Poles have fine houses [68]


Cool old school.

Many "modern" houses in Poland aren't finish all the way to the top. I guess - too ambitious project for not enough of money. Is it?

USA, Canada / What are the odds of my girlfriend getting a USA tourist visa? [70]


It is how it is.

How many times are you planning on posting the same thread?

She must go and apply for the visa. She'll get it or no.

Language / Baby blessing for Polish female baby [7]

"Maleństwo" doesn't specify a gender of a baby, so it's safe to use it for a girl or a boy.

Language / Baby blessing for Polish female baby [7]

This is nice

Z okazji narodzin waszego maleństwa, życzymy mu beztroskiego i zdrowego dzieciństwa, a Wam - odkrywania nowych uroków wspólnego życia.

Translation soon. I have to go now. :)

Love / Polish girlfriends testing guys with "Are you Angry with me" texts [59]

Agree.


Childish behavior.

Work / Polish schoolteachers are being crushed by the system [24]

Both sides suck. Teachers suck and students suck.
Polish teachers (and I'm not talking about Brits who teach English to the Poles) do not care about a quality of education they "sell' to the student and Polish students do not care about getting any quality education, they don't learn how to think for themselves, analize, no logic there what so ever, they memorize some lines from textbooks, pass tests and exams and the minute after that, they forget what it was even about, plus they behave horribly with no respect towards teachers and each other.

It's a "magic" circle. And there must be something done about that.

News / Smoking ban in Polish bars and restaurants (AT LAST!) [400]

Well, maybe there is a smoking ban in Poland, but people still smoke in bars. It takes long time?

Work / Polish schoolteachers are being crushed by the system [24]


Very true. Do you know the very popular "3 Zs rule"? "Zakuc-Zdac-Zapomniec". "Memorize-Pass exam-Forget".

Life / Some Poles have fine houses [68]


Amazing how many heavy pictures the wall can hold, tough. ;)

Life / Some Poles have fine houses [68]


No, I don't. :) And I have never been in England! LOL! But that's what I see on tv. You guys gotta do something about that image. :)

Life / Some Poles have fine houses [68]


I find English houses to be small, old and outated. Just like old-school houses in Poland, but still a bit bigger. :)


You don't think that every Pole owns a house looking like that, right? :)

News / Die Welt-Poland and Germany are the economic driving force of Europe [239]

Attention Mods: the posters are way off topic. It's not yet another thread about the USA.
Thanks!

Food / Polish food in Pictures. [277]

Try to soak the gołąbki in mushroom or tomatoes sauce (which one you prefer) for a bit. It's more tasty that way.
