Are Poles good enough for USA (to go there without a visa)? [288]
Ah Patrycja, sorry to have upset your delicate american sensitivites.
We shop in the USA because things have become so cheap lately since our dollars are par, and your minimum wage is low. And I have never known a Canadian to go to America just to drink, and when they do drink down there, the come back with stories about weak alcohol. You are right about work sometimes however, we have a phenomena dubbed the 'brain-drain' because it's more lucrative for a doctor to work outside of a public health care system, and to become a star in Hollywood - you can have those ones anyway.
But, to be fair, at least you know it doesn't turn into an ice-land when you cross the border (just last week a Brit asked me if Canada was a state ;P) When in Canada, I actually live along the main populated area between Windsor and Montreal, it's about 2 hours drive to get around Lake Ontario and into New York. Where abouts do you hail from in the States?
I should mention that our cultures do bear many similarities though. Still, do you agree that our attitude towards immigration (generally speaking) are different?
