Life / Conflicting views about life in Poland? [45]

also I noticed that a lot of polish people don't like Poland and every time I chat with Polish person he/she keep complaining that life in Poland is ****** and bad it's not good and a lot of polish people left the country and moved to other countries around Europe , my question is WHY ?

Because majority of us earn about 500 euro pcm and spend about 400 euro monthly. What don't you understand here?

meanwhile I can see that there are a lot of countries that have lower life standard and ****** social life than Poland is like middle east !! I don't understand

We don't look at the distant countries. Majority of us even don't know where the Middle East is. We look towards West and wealthier countries like Germany, Denmark or France.

Language / Should I learn Polish or she learn English? [83]

to try and teach her?

Try to teach her. Initially try to imitate an American accent.
Ynglish English is very difficult to understand for us.

Law / Where to obtain license plate in Poland? How long it takes? [24]

Oh I see, 1000zl should you pay this every year?

no just once a car's lifetime in your hands. If you sell a car you cannot keep plates. If buyer lives in the same wojewodztwo he/she can keep or decline it.

What is PO means?

it means city/wojewodztwo POZNAN. You cannot get offensive plates but somethimes (as we can see on this picture) it is possible due to an clerk/owner oversight :)

UK, Ireland / Dekoder problems in UK? Cyfrowy Polsat. [12]

I turned it off for a few seconds before and it did nothing, but it seems it needs more time to re boot? Interesting.

It seems it overheats or hangs or internal power supply is dying.

There is always some signal osd, menu, insert card prompt etc present when power is up. Try another connection HF coaxial cable, composite or HDMI.

Po polsku / Co uczysz się ostatnio w języku polskim? Norma językowa? [35]

z zawodu jestem mechanikiem samochodowym

Mechanik samochodowy to chyba wszędzie znajdzie pracę. Największy problem to
wjechać do stanów i tam wytrzymać. W Europie jak coś Ci się nie spodoba albo zachorujesz
to wsiadasz w samochód i po 15 godzinach jesteś w Polsce.

Life / What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]

Everything was great. Nice people. An abundance of beautiful women.

One thing which puzzles me deeply is why people from capitalistic and materialistic countries
care about people, women and we from former socialist country don't give a s.

Travel / What is the ugliest city or town in Poland? [89]

In my opinion the ugliest city in Poland is Bytom

Couple years ago there was a joke in the radio. When you win the contest the prize will be a holiday in Bytom ;)
I don't remember who invented that.

They moved it from mux3 to mux1. Scan channel 64 manually, 818MHz, horizontal polarity.
Transmiter is located on Slężą.

but the screen says "scrambled channel"

these streams are broadcasted for mobile devices not tv sets.

Life / Television in Poland - embarrassingly bad? [44]

I'm being harsh or just don't understand the humour. Does anyone else feel this way?

Yes we do. Buy the dish. At noon aim it at the Sun. Tune in to Astra. Feel the freedom ;)

I like to watch arte, N24, phoenix, ZDF kultur, NHK World
