Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

Anyhow i,m still trying to work out (being as i,m so thick) Wot has a German Wall got to do with this so called commie mentality the poles are ment to have??

The dismantling of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is generally seen as a symbol of the collapse of the pseudo-Communist/Socialist regimes in central and eastern Europe. But twenty years on, some institutions in Poland still operate under the same mentality. Not all institutions and certainly not all Poles and most certainly much less so among the younger generations. It's just that I happen to work in one of those institutions ...

Yes it is a cultural difference and more to do with my own mood than the person staring at me. It's just annoying sometimes. Or could be taken as a pick-up manoeuvre!

1. The way strangers maintain eye contact on the street for too long.
2. The way shop assistants laugh when they gabble something and then expect a foreigner to understand it.
3. The way that the Communist mentality seems so entrenched. When did the Berlin Wall come down?
