News / Qatar Airways opens contact centre in Wroclaw! [27]

My god. How naive. He basically bankrupted the city of Wroclaw. Cronyism is flourishing. Allegations of corruption are being levelled left and right. Oh yea, "basic infrastructure"? Har har har

i tend to agree with this point of view.

either way, the truth will come out when he (the mayor) leaves office.

News / 2012 - 2013 Will be the most severe Polish winter. [38]

according to many people I meet in Warsaw, this winter is going to be the most severe winter we have seen.

keep in mind that it was only two or three winters ago when we had the worst winter for 100 years.

what is severe ? extreme cold can be dealt with and public transport keeps moving. however cold, snow and ice are the problem.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

I don't believe you for a second

a new-build is possible in the region of 4,000 but then it all piles up again with the extras.

a development across the road from the botanical gardens is among the cheapest i've seen.

check the measurements against something known on the plan... like a door.

a single doorway might be three feet wide. it won't be three metres.

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]

Brits who visit Poland love taking off their clothes and running all over the place naked,

I think we are too stiff.

stiff = penile erection

so, we end up with a humorous comment in your post above.

Work / Finding work in Warsaw / Poland as an English private tutor [63]

. I would love to know if they get students. Not one tear off strip has been taken from it,

it's not quite the right time yet. phone calls should start in the second week of the new school term. then it's mid october when university students start ringing.
