UK, Ireland /
Estimated number of Poles in Ireland thought to exceed 200,000 OR over 5% of population. [200]
It always made me think that Poland must be some great country for them to talk so much about it.
Man, i get your point here, big time. I brought some Poles around Ireland several times, and(some thought) the mountains were not high enough,, and the forest were too small, the food is crap,The people are false,There's nothing to do here..etc etc. When i got to Poland I thought I was going to see a fuucking jungle with buffalo running around. I saw towns,that would be considered huge cities in Ireland and they had NOTHING in them just disgusting Blocks(what the hell do you do, in this town?makes Moate look like Venice!)In stead of seeing Slavic warriors, herding buffalo,i saw badly dressed men, with mustaches and ugly pea-caps hanging outside Pub/shops drinking beer and farting, and grunting at me for not looking local.
I was a little shocked.
I think the problem is, that a lot of Poles simply have not travelled, because they are poor; they are a bit like the frog who was trapped in a well and thought that the bit of sky he could see was the whole world, and he grew to love it. Over-identification basically.
Saying all that, the Irish, that emigrate (can be)are a bunch of whingers as well,wearing sh1tty Ireland jerseys and singing those horrible cliche Irish anthems, that make people who are into music, vomit, and talking about Irish history even thought they know nothing about it.
Also I have a lots of great great friends in Poland who are a 100% and there are so many beautiful places in Poland.
