News / Weronika Szmajdzianska crowned Miss Global Teen 2012 [8]
it is sad when girls think that their only value is in their looks and these competitions are mainly a way to get their parents to part with their cash.
My friends daughter reached Miss teen queen final UK when she herself realised the whole thing was a rip off for her mum (various demands for cash) and
she jacked it all in and now is concentrating on college instead.
Speaking of these pageants, Miss this and Miss that, what are your thoughts on them

UK, Ireland / Domestic arguments caused by differences between Polish and English culture [109]
that is so true, not only climate but also terrain I think. For example if you are hemmed in by mountains you are more likely to marry your cousins and be xenophobic (eg Wales)
Or if there is 40 degrees heat you are not going to rush about which might lead to accusations of laziness (eg Greece)
I hesitate to make such sweeping generalisations about anywhere else,perhaps I could leave that to another happy poster?
But I get the feeling that environment has a lot to do with cultural differences.

not sure if that counts spiritus, I mean it would hardly lead to cultural misunderstandings would it?
yesterday my Polish man told me that if a woman in Poland was as bossy as me she would get a slap....thinking about the Polish women I know, I am not sure.
Needless to say I dumped him, he was so helpless, wanting me as the woman to organise everything, pay for everything, control his drinking, and yet not be bossy?
ffs.
I am going for a nice Scottish man next time. Or possibley Irish.

Polonia / Moving to Spain - where is the Polish community there? [9]
There is 25 per cent unemployment and the Spanish people are essentially ' take it or leave it'
The only friendly people are from Morocco or Ecuador.
They work in the fields for 20 euro a day.
Rent would be about 600 euro a month but you might get something cheaper from some Brit who is running home
and desperate to rent out their place.

The schools do not encourage creativity or discussion but are good enough.
