foreigners don't have to love PL.. Poles do, however.
now, that's a bit unfair,
I love it and i know other ex-pats that have made a life here and would never dream of moving home
Better roads and public transport are needed and quickly, the Euros aren't far away.
The place could do with a lick of paint, there are far too many building in the country that have turned black from weather damage, if they were painted again or power washed it'd restore some pride especially in the industrial cities like Katowice, Lodz etc. There are many many beautiful building around but they look terrible because of the damage.
I believe that Poland should stay out of the euro zone too as it'll keep things cheaper and encourage exports and investment.
Topless beaches :-)
Banning Radio Maria
Better tv shows, waaaay too much american crap on tv, like CSI, House etc.
However saying all this I think that EU has realised the potential in Poland, a big country with massive amounts of natural resources and a hard-working workforce with a high level of education, i just hope that people continue to vote for the more economically liberal minded parties than the conservative ones. But y'know patience is needed and the politicians/bankers etc should be kept an eye on so that their greed doesn't get in the way of the country's prosperity, like it did in Ireland.
