Real Estate / Can foreigner buy apartment in Warsaw, Poland? [39]
At least in Warsaw that is certainly not the case. Also the OP should remember about Real Estate tax and/or Tax on Perpetual Usufruct, depending what he/she buys.

Law / Poland economy is slowing down - how does it affect you? [117]
Sorry to disappoint you. I remember how crappy Poland's economy was in 1989 and before. And I suspect Pawian was there to witness it first hand too. And I am glad things have improved by now, enormously.

Genealogy / Last name History or help please: BREJ surname [20]
I somehow doubt that this is the origin of the name. One has to remember that in medieval times that area of Poland witnessed substantial German settlement, and although all those Germans eventually assimilated their names continued to be in use even if in Polonised form.
And by the way, the word "breja" is itself of German origin anyway. Cf.:
etymologia:
niem. Brei[1][2], niem. Brühe[2]
BREJ: from breja (mush, porridge, thick soup); also known as bryja.

because that would make you more happy?
My theory is that our ancestors were not actually Polish in origin, but perhaps Czech

News / Grzegorz Braun's firing squad? [39]
It certainly is not comparable (braun vs. sikorski) not to mention several years since Sikorski uttered his words. "Dorzynać watahę" is a literary expression and general enough as to not provoke prosecutor's action. What Braun stated is simply deplorable.
I also notice that you have that homo sovieticus trait in you Polonius. When faced with facts which compromise PIS and cannot be defended, you dig up some old story which in your mind outweighs the former. Typical soviet approach.
comparable to Sikorski wanting toi slit the throats of his political foes or Braun decimating the GW crowd.

Za mało próbowałaś. Drobnostki negatywne należy pomijać, natomiast te pozytywne należy eksponować i brać z nich zadowolenie. Takie też bywają. Ale, co prawda to prawda, zawsze to jest zamieszanie w życiu... ale potem jest docieranie, i fajnie się dociera jeśli jest Wola i Ochota :-). Bądź optymistyczna!

Life / I hate Warsaw. The worst part about living here is the people who move here from small towns, villages.. [124]
I love Warsaw for so many reasons, that it would be hard for me to enumerate them or in what order. And I am not native to this town either, although more than 20 years have passed since I moved here.

It's only a free translation. There are better native polish speakers on this forum who probably can translate more competently into english as well. BTW, you're dealing with a rather complicated/advanced level of polish here. Congratulations!
