Polonia / POLES vs BULGARIANS [160]

You can imagine easily how more than one million innocent people can be killed when it comes to Turks.

There is really nothing to talk to you :(

can you give a link to these millions of dead?

i was merely asking the hypothetical question of if another country had ruled over turkey for 500 years and turkey saw an opportunity to kick them out it would be done without innocent bloodshed.

every inhumane act perpetrated by turkey is somehow justified by an inhumane upon turkey.

History / Poland and Muslims (Tatars and others). [81]

mephias

i think you have nailed it.

i actually know a few a muslims and they are respectful of western values and society.

on the other hand, there are muslim immigrants who make no attempt to integrate.

from my experience, it seems if muslims are educated then they are in the first group, if not, then they generally fall into the second group.

Love / What to Get my Polish Guy for Valentines Day. [77]

I agree with this in a sense. Valentines has totally lost all real meaning, it has been over commercialised and the only value in it is literally monetary value. In most cases, it appears that the gift is just given becasue the person feels that this is normal. And I guess, spekaing from a female perspective, that this is mostly true of women, and not so much men, as you have just proved.

my ex didnt want something coz of the romantic side but that she had to have something to share with her female work colleagues about what they received.

Australia / NEW POLISH CAFE IN BRUNSWICK, MELBOURNE!- court jester cafe [16]

i am quite fond of the north and would ideally like to live in thornbury, preston or even reservoir...but house prices have gone crazy.

My sister lives in Werribee so I'll tell her to check this new place out.

she is better off going to the albion club in scumshine, its closer and is more traditional polish food.

Food / Burgers, why not in Poland? [54]

Why does anyone want to eat burgers of any sort?

the meat, the melted cheese, the egg, the bacon, the tomato, shredded lettuce eith ketcup in a slightly toasted roll are just too delicious to pass up.

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]

Yeah I guess... can't help but cringe at the price though having just arrived from Poland.

things are more expensive here than in poland...you can get a bottle of chopin vodka in poland for equivalent of $15-20AUD but in australia it would be $60-70AUD.

it isnt too bad a price considering what some "polish" restaurants in melbourne charge.

Speaking of pricey, I saw the restaurant 'Babka' in fitzroy is selling barszcz (beetroot soup) for $8.50! This defeats the whole purpose of the Polish expression 'tani jak barszcz' (cheap as beetroot soup) :D

i would say that this is the going rate for soup, especially in fitzroy.

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]

Yeah I know it's the going rate, it's just funny how people think they're getting something fancy when it's just... barszcz.

hahahaha...it's fitzroy. you could sell sh1t with a fancy name there and the trendies would still be all over it.

Where are these other 'Polish' restaurants in Melbourne you speak of?

they're more eastern european hybrids:

- court jester in brunswick
- borsch, vodka, tears in windsor (a sister restaurant right next door to elsternwick cinema)
- red lemon in richmond
- polish clubs in albion and rowville

Life / Do you think a smoking ban would be a good thing in Polish restaurants and Bars? [217]

(slightly off topic) The pub trade in the UK are about to to be hit again, the goverment are stopping all the 2 4 1 deals and happy hours in a bid to stop bing drinking...They're not stopping the supermarkets though!

so, it isnt only in australia that binge drinking is an issue...our authorities make out like we are the only country with a binge drinking problem.

Its the less weathly areas that have been really hit, where I live most of the bars are doing fine, BUT, a lot have really accommodated the smokers -

in australia it was rumoured that some tobacco companies actually paid for some licensed venues to setup beer gardens/smoking areas...

Life / Lack of Spacial Acuity in Poland [69]

it happens everywhere...try walking in the city in australia and you're likely to bump into someone who just randomly stops (generally asian) or people walking 3-4 abreast the pavement.

Australia / Meeting Poles in Adelaide [15]

i think adelaide has the biggest polish community in australia....google polish clubs/restaurants in adelaide and you should get a number of places.

i even think there are some previous threads on this very subject.

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]

try this site, but the people may not be in your age range: dziuplamelbourne.com

there are also monthly (sometimes once every 2 months) polish dances, but it would be hard meeting new people there. but you never know.

Australia / Finding work on Prospective marriage visa, Melbourne ( subclass 300 ) [30]

Is there a law here that I cant work here even when i have full working rights ?

you should reference the terms of your visa?

if it is anything like the working holiday visa for commonwealth nationals then you can only work for 6 months out of the 12 months you're here.

you have worked 4 out of the 6 months, so that probably would put off employers looking for 6 month contractor/permanent.

your best bet is to seek cash paid work (bar/restaurant/cleaning/etc), even if it is just to get out of the house/apartment/flat.
