You can find carps and szczupaks. I've heard the fishing waters have deteriorated in the last decade.

Real Estate / Where to look on the internet for Poland Real Estate [112]
Good list. I didn't know mamdom charged so much though.
Another tip - if you don't know Polish, have some Polish speaker go through some popular Polish websites (like onet.pl or gazeta.pl) and they have good offers too.

Life / Polish mentality towards Pakistan [108]
From my subjective experience I prefer not to be in business relationship with Pakistani people, some of them are not very fair and try to cheat you whenever they can.

Yes, I was right:
Are you kidding?
Yes, I was right:
With the exception of the GM LS-2 All-aluminum V8 engine (also used in the Chevrolet Corvette), the Leopard 6 Litre Roadster is completely hand built in Mielec, including the entire aluminum body, in a state of the art production facility.

The design is Polish, BUT the engine is from Corvette (as far as I remember). So it's not really a 100% Poland-made..

Study / studying in Politechnika Warszawska [4]
I think it's in top 10 of all Polish universities, so it's definitely a good one. Standard may be even higher than the other European universities.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]
I don't think the term "Polak" (which means "a Polish man" or a "Pole" and is used in everyday language in Poland) is derogatory at all. If anything "Polack" sounds more offensive than "Polak."

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]
I'm not sure if it's a serious or an ironic statement of yours, but I would definitely want to avoid a situation that, being a Polish immigrant in the US, I would feel discriminated by Americans just because I bought a piece of land and wanted to build my house there... I'm sure most Polish people living abroad would feel the same.
Its time Polish people stood up and say enough is enough..no more foreign ownership of polish land.
