Polonia / India - review this country (as a Pole) [21]

lol ask an Indian if he is a Pakistani and watch his reaction......lol he will be so offended,but ask an Pakistani if he is an Indian and he will admit he is smiling.In fact India and Pakistan are like Palestine and Israel with almost same food and culture but hate each other.I love to Play with Indians and tell them that I am a Pakistani and ask them if they serve Beef curry or at a Pakistani restaurant ask if they have Pork kebabs lol really fun watching there reactions as they cant decide what to tell a person who looks like them.

@Joker: but want to hear it from a real Indian instead of some "know it all" Eurp
lol go to any 7/11 or Dunkin Donuts and check it out yourself:)

USA, Canada / Polish-American criminals [70]

Poland no more a safe heaven for American-based criminals.

It never was,I know 2 guys who did embezzled money in the States were extradited in early 2000s when Poland was not even in the EU.

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

Zabka has been sold few times,last time I think its was sold 2/3 years back to Luxembourg based CVC capital.I wonder why 7/11 of Southland corp dont enter Polish market maybe because of low turnover.

Work / English teachers in Poland - why are they so unhappy? [89]

they are so unhappy

Imagine trying to support a family with a teachers salary and showing on a forum that they are living a high life,even in Poland they save on every grolsch they can.Just calculate how they must live in Poland coming from UK.NO wonder they die so soon,being obese and living with a disease with no cure.

The only happiness they get is posting on a forum and dreaming the life style they could live.lol they even are not good in business the reason they tend to work as teachers and moonlight washing cars and shinning shoes.

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

It depends on the branch

I agree there but still the way they stock up there products and the lights etc just puts me off.I still feel that even international chains here are still not capable to do business professionally.Look at conv stores like Zabka etc have no health and beauty products and operate basically selling alcohol and grocery.They are more like mini grocery stores rather then conv stores.Biedronka looks to me like a mini cash and carry,to find what you want one has to walk around the store and might find it at some odd place.I only like there quality of pistachios thats all,meat as you said I wont know as I dont buy it here.

News / Tesco abandon Poland [66]

Tesco & Biedronka are the crappiest stores.So unorganized,and mostly cheap products.During lockdown I once went to buy mayonnaise to make tuna salad as they were the only one open,had crappy brand with no variety.Freaking crap tasted like some motor oil and killed my expensive tuna can.Auchan & Carrfour are the best, well lit,organized and brand names with variety.Guess people like to buy cheap food.

Law / Import a car from US to Poland [23]

What issues would I have in trying to import the vehicle to Poland?

Not many issues at all if you have owned the car for 2 years or more.You can drive the car on American plates for 6 months then write a letter to Uzad celny and they will keep on extending it for 6 months for maybe 4/5 years.Then leave the schengen area(go to Ukraine) and come back and you can still follow the same until you can take it to uzad celny and after paying around 4/500 pln and registration fee etc you can register it with Polish plates and get the lights etc fixed by any mechanic for 4/500pln and you are all set.

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term renting contracts-residential in Poland [26]

Private debts cannot be enforced

Once the person dont show up in court twice and court issues a contempt of court warrant then that is not about private debt.Years back a vietnamese cop friend of mine in Poland was sent to UK to work with UK police to arrest some Poles who were working there and bring them back

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term renting contracts-residential in Poland [26]

what you can get after 2years of trials from a guy who is already in different country,and has no accounts in Poland

Not if its in a e court.Business is Business,I can agree with commercials who have no business but with residentials? Sorry,its the same way when I was in business and accepted checks,when some bounced I would file report and some will not show up,then the court would issue contempt of court order even for 2 bucks,bailable with 400$ even after 20 years,wherever and when the cops check you(mostly by traffic stops) and you were arrested bailed and come and settle the case with 400$ contempt of court fine plus 200$ restitution and check amount with 10% interest and bank fee.Even after 16 years out of business I still get checks mailed.

I think they are planning the same system for the EU now too.

Real Estate / Termination of fixed term renting contracts-residential in Poland [26]

if he changes the locks or turns up with a couple of guys and throws your stuff

Very well said or even shuts of electricity.

You are leaving him with a problem of an empty flat and a credit to pa

Exactly,its not landlords fault that he lost his job.Should have rented a flat with month to month lease.

this is not the time for contracts and lawyers

I disagree,if he is a full time landlord then I suppose he will look to get his remaining money for the whole year,even though these times eviction is almost impossible.If it was me I will certainly go to court and get the judgement which will be with interest allowed by law(No matter if it gets paid or not one can find a way later for that)Never happened with me in Poland but in States I take a judgement usually 3 times the amount owed and sell the judgement for half or 1/3 the price to debt collectors.

Love / Dating a Polish guy. Do they cheat and have multiple women? [50]

Lol then don't believe, well i dont need to explain myself for you

You should not pay attention to a person with a weak heart, calls fellow poles a villager and women a slut.Maybe working hard in his senior years to pay his bills has made him grouchy.I know he once posted something about his boyfriend so maybe he hates women:)

I am sure you are a fine woman,just had bad luck with dating.

Travel / Will corona kill my plans? Travel to Poland [18]

I even plan to stay here longer until it clears in States.Wife sending me parcels of things I need,hopefully getting one today or Monday.

What I am upset is that 2nd quarter property taxes over there are due as usual 1st of May with 11 day extension without interest like the past and some towns websites dont accept payments from out of country.Freaking CRIMINALS.
