Thanks. I suspected hardly anyone is interested in it. :):):):)


Of course. I love when my students ask me questions. It proves they try to think hard. :):):):)


As far as I know, the typical holiday is 25 days per year.


Yes, but as a teacher, I have 3 months holiday per year. :):):):)


Every trip is different. But we never stay at hotels. Come on, I prefer to have a longer holiday in basic conditions than to spend a week at a costly hotel and come back home. I do a lot of search on the net and when I find a nice offer, we go to guesthouses or wooden cabins. When offers are not favourable, we take our small caravan which contains my wife and 3 kids while I have to take a small tent for myself and we go to campsites. That`s all. Saving on accomodation allows us to spend over a month out of polluted Krakow in the summer.


You manners are really outstanding! :):):):):) Don`t change it and all girls/women in the forum will be yours! :):):):) Your handsome looks from your profile also play a role, of course............. :):):):):)

News / Amber Gold and other Poland's suspicious institutions [139]


I have seen Amber Gold advertisements for nearly 3 years. I took photos of them and have a few in my archives. When in Gdańsk in July this year, we walked past their main headquarters.

But it has never occured to me to move my money there. I intuitively felt it wouldn`t be a wise decision.

People who took such a decision were naive.

Moscow is a great city. I was there as a child and bought myself a toy which was the dearest of all.

News / Amber Gold and other Poland's suspicious institutions [139]

Now it is clear that local prosecutors from Gdańsk must have had some dirty deal with Plichta. They suspended the investigation twice or even thrice despite various institutions` official reports.


Sorry, people are to blame themselves. They risked and lost - zagrali i przegrali. Life!

PS. There will always be greedy naive people - scandals like that are a good lesson for a few years. Then another scandal erupts and so does the world go on.

News / Who controls Gazeta Wyborcza?? [216]


It is very amusing to see how right wing maniacs like you faithfully follow the doctrine that was first introduced by stalinist communists: that children are equally responsible for their parents` misdeeds.

News / Amber Gold and other Poland's suspicious institutions [139]


Don`t be silly. Look at the angle the photo was taken at. Try to find other photos of arrested Plichta on the Net. You won`t because there are none except for this one, published on the site of local Gdańs news portal.

Feedback / Why are there so many on here, who do not like Poland [150]


The truth is that everybody who comes here is somehow fascinated by Poland (and Poles). They love it or hate it but fascination is a fact.

We should`t reject those people.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]


Thanks.
I vaguely remember it from 1980s. Once in high school we were talking about emmigration and somebody mentioned Australia and the Chinese.

From your link:
The 2001 Australian census results indicate that many Australians claim some European heritage: English 37%, Irish 11%, Italian 5%, German 4.3%, Scottish 3%, Greek 2%, Former Yugoslav 1.8%, Dutch 1.5%, Polish 0.9%. Australians of some non-European origin form a significant but still relatively small part of the population: Chinese 3.2%, Indian 0.9%, Lebanese 0.9%, Vietnamese 0.9%. About 2.2% identified themselves as Indigenous Australians. 39% of the population gave their ancestry as "Australian". The Australian census does not classify people according to race, only ethnic ancestry. (Note that subjects were permitted to select more than one answer for this census question.)[33]

Hard to say. I am neither so I can`t take part in the discussion. It is Chicago Poles vs Poland-located expats` problem.

History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]


That was the reality of 1970s and 80s.


Schneller oder wir schiessen!.

No, silly, I didn`t learn such phrases. I learnt from very serious books which were designed for students much older than me. I hated them because they were so boring, about things of zero interest to me. East German publications were available in Poland and my German tutor used them. I remember one - about some stupid revolutionists in early 20 century Mexico and their adventures.

Today, when coming back from our last holiday trip, I stopped at a filling station and while paying for gas, I read the headline from the counter newspaper. The German Federation of Expellees has agreed to the leading motive of Museum of Expellees in Berlin: If Nazi Germans hadn`t comitted crimes during WW2, there wouldn`t have been expulsions of German civilians from Eastern Europe.

Quite positive change.

Is it true that once Australia had strict immigration policy which forbade the Chinese to come and settle?

News / Amber Gold and other Poland's suspicious institutions [139]

Today, Amber Gold owner was arrested for 3 months. Accused of serious fraud, faces up to 15 years.
Prosecutors in Gdańsk who oddly closed an eye to his activity for nearly 3 years despite various alarming info are going to undergo disciplinary procedures.




Not broken because it works after all. I would say: not as effective as it should be. :):):):)

It is still there.

BTW, which bridge do you mean?

Tomorrow we are going on our last trip this summer. Traditionally, to Busko Zdrój. Don`t worry, only a few days.

When I get back, I will start relating all 2012 trips. Pam, I still remember about Gdańsk photos for you.

Yes, of course. Nobody is irreplaceable. If one day you or me vanish from this forum for ever, do you think anybody will care? :):):):)

Do you desire to supplement your knowledge with new information or are you testing me?

No, you went to US to improve your fekking quality of life.

Bulshyt.
Could they afford children in 1980s during a severe crisis in the communist paradise?
Yes, they could. Those years were baby boom times.

Now, when the conditions improved tenfold, they can`t?
