Real Estate / The cost of a furnished apartment near Warsaw downtown are high? Why? [42]

Warsaw? Haha and you want cheap apartment? Gee, why don't people realise something, Poland is not a country where you can just come in and get anything for free, it is Warsaw we are talking about, nothing is cheap there. I suggest smaller town apartment or one on the outskirts of Warsaw.

USA, Canada / Think you're Polish (and live in the USA)? [161]


Paper does not make anyone anything you are Polish at heart no matter if you have citizenships or entitlements to the benefits of other country's services. We Polish are scattered all around the world and some want to diminish our numbers so we are weakened and in times of trouble and unrest we will not have support from overseas Polonia. We are all Polish if we feel Polish, that's all the rest to it, some are just jelaous of our solidarity and want to break us up, let's not give in.

Food / What are favorite herbal teas in Poland/especially loose leaf? [15]


Chammomile I only use for flushing eyes and I drink the rasberry one but these days the flavours are so mixed up you just don't know what's in each tea bag.

Life / Moving from India to Poland very soon. What do I need to know before I move? [7]

A lot of change of clothes! Warm clothes as well, woollen hat, nylon pants or skinny, pyjama pants underneath one or two pairs, together 2 to 3 worn at once if you are mowing in the middle of winter in Poland. Also jumper, change of jumpers because inside you will sweat in 20 to 25 degrees - room temperature and outside in January and February it will be up to minus 20 or more.

Life / Hey, Nice Airport Wrocław! Or! Day #1 for an American Ex-Pat in Poland. [128]


I feel sorry for homeless people, I know some homeless folk and I wouldn't be making fun of them this way. Those who are better off should help instead of talking like that about them.

News / Poland Unemployment: Nobody protests, because people are leaving [30]


How can we win when nobody revolts, what's needed now, and it is time, is 1990 style of strikes and boycotts. The government at the moment is not scared of us, we are not even ready to set up a proper strike because not enough is being done towards it, everyone is still hoping for something, wow, it's been 23 years, I think that would surely be long enough for the most patient ones.

Law / Bank accounts taxed by up to 10%. Can it happen in Poland? [150]

Wow! So have they closed the banks yet, as is customary in times like these? I would be flying to the bank to get my money out and never put back again if I was Cyprian. I think we better watch in Poland because our government likes to copy the EU.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

"Hate" is a very strong word, I think this thread is not really necessary, it is too blunt as well, maybe it would sound better if the question was structured differently.

Love / Any Polish Muslim girls living in Poland? [103]

I do not understand why people come here to provoke Polish people just so then they can call us racists? This thread is provoking to make us look bad, it seems to me right from the start. It seems to me the thread was set up this way, it started innocently and then it went straight into discussing Polish as racists.

USA, Canada / Why do Americans (and Canadians) hate Polish people? [226]

I don't think Americans or Canadians dislike Polish people in particular, in most cases they may not notice us, generally they don't pay attention to us which is fine with me. I think we do not have to be the centre of attention, we are modest people and Americans would not understand our motives or certain concepts if we started talking about our history, for instance, and how we suffered and how courageously we defended our country and how we pride ourselves on that and how this is the number one aspect of our being, which for Americans is not, for Americans the expansive efforts of warfare and conquer are the themes which they try to incorporate in their society as the most significant - survival of the fittest, doesn't matter about the weak (not every American agrees with it though). We are different but we both get along well in most cases - from what I observed.

Love / ACCEPTABLE modest wear for Polish women? [49]

I can wear anything i want as a woman. In South America i don't remember where sorry about that , women can walk the street without their bra, that is called freedom.
