In Islamic countries maybe, but it is considered the more hygienic option.

News / Is it possible that Polish president was assasinated? If so then, by whom? [921]
I wondered how long this accident would turn to blaming the Russians. Fact is most Poles can see the truth that this was just human error, but there are still those who would take any chance to have a swipe at Russia. Mainly those who listen to Radio Maria and live out in the country.

Also, who is paying for the real cop to show up there? That's right, your tax money at work. Nice system. Why change it. It obviously works.

Never had a strict time, generally cos the newer trams get priority, 24 and 8. And 13 gets stuck behind them next to ur place ;)
except the 13 in Kraków which for some reason is always at random times

I think Krakow started that program 2 years ago. So much easier unless there is a long queue for the ticket.
I've only been stopped twice for not having a ticket. First was my first time in Krakow where I tore up the ticket after validating it, didn't know about the conductors :) Friends managed to find all the little pieces and I got away with it.
Second time I have to get the tram at 6am for work and being so sleepy I forgot to take my monthly pass, wallet ect. They asked me for ticket and I explain I forgot my wallet when I was late for work, they asked for ID and I told them that I didnt have any on me but I had my pass at home. They just buggered off while the rest of the passengers looked at me as if being foreign meant I could get away with it :D
But this could be easily solved with machines on trams!

And soon Edinburgh ;)
I don't see why it is so difficult just to buy a damn ticket, validate it and go on your way.
As for the system being useless - it works perfectly well in Berlin and many other places :)

Almost every person I knew thought he was the joke of Polish politics.
I think he was very patriotic and kept Poland from away from the liberal left. Maybe in a stubborn and not very diplomatic way, which many did not like, but still appreciated by others.

It seems a lot like it's going to be a show put on. Many of my Polish friends are saying it's like the church syndrome. They don't really care about the guy, but they have to show themselves to be caring and mourning in face of their neighbours ect.
Most Poles im talking with over here couldn't really care less about what had happened. Of course they are in shock, and its nothing you would want to happen. Maybe it will be a good turning point in Polish history. No more government stuck in the stone ages. Time for the young modern Poles to come through.
why do Poles always try to "over-do" things...? they shoule be buried in Warszawa...

It's a really strange addition to the castle. I mean with all respects to the late President, I don't think I have ever met someone who liked him. So why the need to bury him in Krakow I have no idea.

It was funny a couple of nights ago, the boilers fecked up in Clark House. I was dropping them off some heaters for the bedrooms and got chatting to some Polish nurses, as soon as I said one word in Polish off they went bla bla bla po polsku. I'm like just cos I can doesn't mean that you should be speaking Polish in front of the patients :D

Work / CV for polish job market [17]
One tip is that a Polish CV looks more like a British covering letter and vice versa.
Another tip I used was to have some kind of border to catch the eye. Nothing outlandish just something that sets your CV out from the rest. Keeping it clean, concise and designed specifically for the job you're applying to.

Many an occassion I witnessed Poles in scubba gear swimming in the lakes around Krakow with harpoons sneaking up on the poor defenseless swans. Other times I had to step in when it was squirrel hunting season because most of the hunters were using TnT to blow the suckers out the trees...this was just wrong :/
In a more truthful note, anyone who goes within an inch of a swan is taking their lives into their own hands. Swans I often regard as being evil and will attack at any second :)

Something doesn't add up here, you're running your own firm, but yet you say you're only here for your BF and that you don't consider yourself an immigrant?
You reside in a country, you have a business in a country, you pay tax in a country and yet you still don't consider yourself as a resident in that country?
About your question with smear tests and gyno. Our GP's are trained and expected to deal with a wide range of different diagnoses. Before you go to a gyno you are expected to have primary tests done at your GP, because the majority of complaints can be treated by the GP and don't need to be referred to the next level. If a GP cannot diagnose a specific illness ect then you will be referred to the gyno and because tests have already taken place from the GP then you will be a lot quicker diagnosed by the gyno.
The reasons why this system is in place in almost every modern health care system is for many reasons.
1. That you don't have patients taking up precious time that specialists have treating illness' that can be treated in the first step. I.E your primary visit to your GP or health care nurse.
2. Another point I'll make a lot more extreme. The system in Poland at the moment unlike the UK means that if a patient breaks an arms, leg ect and turns up at the nearest A&E department they have a high chance that they may be told to go and find another hospital as the correct "specialist" is not on duty at that moment. The time it takes for a patient to go from one hospital to another, or to wait in A&E for a correct specialist could be the difference between life and death.
