Life / EXPATS in POLAND: 10 things you miss / don't miss about home . . . [138]

That was something I was pondering the other day. Salt and vinegar crisps! I can't find them! And I'll have to echo the bacon statement as well!

I miss beef burgers. A 6-8oz lump of meat topped with BACON and cheese. The burgers over here I've had are thin and more like ham?

I can't say I miss much else apart from my friends.

I like the fact Carlsberg lager is is over here.

It's quite strange that lots of food gets drenched in salt and vinegar over here but they haven't done it to a potatoe yet!

News / What's the stupidest question asked about Poland? [414]

Before I came to Poland I only asked one stupid question and that was "Do you have clubs in Poland?". I remember asking this because I got the most strangest look back off the Polish bouncer!

To be honest most of the Poles I had met working in a bar in Edinburgh didn't speak much english and were over working 2 jobs because they either "can't get job" or "money very bad" in Poland. When you hear Poles talking negatively like this with bad english and that working on the door for 6 weeks could earn them as much money as their family needs to live for X amount of months you can't blame people in the UK for thinking of Poland as a terribly underdevoloped nation! So you will continue to get daft questions!

Though some of these questions are a bit stupid!

What I say is pretty generalised and or course not everyone thinks this but yes a lot of people think this about Poland especially when you know of people living in crowded houses sending money back etc
