if the government feels the need to lift our spirits is it not acknowlegement that they are part responsible for lowering them.

Many Poles just look to set you up so they can then have a gripe and groan.

as i suggested too much thought goes into what is appropriate and when.
a little more spontaneity would help. rather than be uptight half the time.
why wait for the weekend to have fun when one can have fun in the moment.
Care to explain why we should learn to do that?

then change your image. buy some new clothes, go to better clubs, go out as a new person, which will up your confidence and get results.
It may sound strange but most girls just don't turn me on, so if the really attractive girls ignore me i rather go home alone than chasing an average chick just to have some p*ssy.

Polish people do know how to enjoy themselves. there are plenty of parties, festivals that prove this.
the problem is that they think too much about the right time and place for enjoyment and seriousness. they should learn to let their hair down whenever.

I thought this was among Polish speaking people in Poland.
My bad, if i'm wrong.
Also, when you light up in the presence of a lady, you are supposed to ask for permission first.

Also, if she was Polish and speaking English, she might have phrased her request a little bluntly for the refined Anglo-Saxon ears of her companion.

it's not the fact that people can smoke or not. it is the way some folk pass on the message.
i wonder how many other people were smoking at this festival and were asked to stop, rather than being told.
Also, you are not allowed to smoke in the UK at open-air bus stops or railway platforms,

i'd say that either the smoker or the other person should take a step back. nothing needs to be said between them.

it's not just about smoking. and it's not about foreigners.
Maybe put it down to social skills, interacting with others. some Poles are just plain rude.
Then, it turns out they are uptight, ignorant, and controlling, because they have the temerity to tell a smoking foreigner that their smoke is not welcome.

Work / Price per day... private painting and decorating in Poland [23]
i can't help u with a price. but as this is the job that sets your reputation and u knowing that u are good, i would keep the price quite high.
in Poland when people come cheap they don't get taken seriously.
in your line of business the client often has little idea of what is required. so when it comes to bigger projects include knowledge of interior design. offer plenty of ideas etc.
some of the posters on here know a bit about fitouts maybe they can offer a few thoughts.
but this is my first bit of work in poland
