UK, Ireland / Moving from Ireland to Poland [39]

Irish butter, milk, dairy produce in general and beef are some of the best

These are only semi-finished products, I think he means that Polish bigos is better than Irish goulash e.t.c.

Maybe I'm just getting older, but the more countries I visit the more I appreciate Poland.

You are getting older, definitely, and your eyesight and hearing are getting worse.

Work / What is the average yearly wage rise in Poland? [8]

15K per sqm is cheap now in Krakow.

I understand that this is the price for new apartments/houses. These prices are crazy, not only in Poland. Currently on holiday in a little-known town on the German Baltic Sea, I heard that the prices of 1 sqm in newly built apartments reach €14,000. It's not hard for you to guess that Poles also work on this construction site. This is crazy pricing and I don't think anyone will pay it.

Work / What is the average yearly wage rise in Poland? [8]

4626 is not much to live on in todays economy in Poland unless you are in the countryside.

Certainly, but I hope that if two spouses work and earn PLN 9,252 gross together, they will be able to live at a decent standard. If so, the minimum wage would fulfill its role. Naturally, I omitted the problem of children, which also cost money.

Work / What is the average yearly wage rise in Poland? [8]

Do you mean like a rise that would automatically cover inflation

This is most visible in the increase in the so-called minimum wage, which a large number of employees earn. From July, it amounts to PLN 28 per hour of work in Poland, or PLN 4,300 gross per month. This is much lower than in Western countries, but still quite good with a further upward trend.

History / Use of the word "lord" in Polish. [11]

Lord (Seigneur) is an aristocratic title in Poland and it is only and exclusively used in this sense in its original wording in Polish.

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

This is a major problem that the west are not prepared to confront

A sure method is the secularization of society, for example, in my state only about 3% of Catholics live. But there are no mosques being built, let alone synagogues (in which only russians sit). That's why my secretary can ask our paki, who is bending (in prayer) under the table, if he is looking for a mouse?. Perhaps the best method is to secularize society. However, I will personally stick to my good old Catholic church.

History / 20 years of Poland in the EU. [317]

In short.. adults who migrate almost never really assimilate

This is particularly visible among the Turks in Germany and the Russians in Germany.

It depends

Yes, for example, when children start going to Polish schools, they become Poles. Some expats, however, send their children to English-speaking schools in Poland so that the children can continue their education in another country.

News / A Polish Feminist Found in a Forest [133]

she would rather meet a bear than a man in a forest.

The bear would have carried her out of the forest too... in pieces.

accepts that their children born in the new country will be more like local children rather than children back home (among other things).

I don't think that's what white emigrants to Africa or Asia think about.
