Travel / TRAIN JOURNEY..DRAWSKO TO POZNAN...help needed... [30]

The stuff that repels mosquitoes repels skin too, it just falls off.

The new stuff just attracts more. I nearly went crazy lying still for 1 hour with constant buzzing and biting.

My legs were swollen so much they would not bend. After 5 days i was used to them and the swelling did not appear.

I did not fall in love with Poland from visiting that area :(

Has the area improved in the last few years? I was last in Drawsko in 2001.

Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]

Warsaw and public transport was not mentioned, a slight reference to the metro was.

Poles in public places was stated.

My friends are in Lodz, I have one friend in Warsaw who covers her mouth on the metro if she sneezes.

E30 goes to Poznan, Lodz and Warsaw.

Wroclaw is on the A4 which is the E36 from Berlin.

Esbjerg is a shorter drive to Wroclaw than driving from Rotterdam.

Travel / Travelling from NI to Poland [32]

I would get ferry to Hollyhead then A55 across to the M6.

Down M6 and onto the A14 to Harwich.

Harwich to Esbjerg in Denmark.

Get on the E45 south to Hamburg

A7 Autobahn in Germany to Hamburg

A24 to Berlin then go round the A10 Berliner ring towards Dresden.

A13 towards Cotbuss which ends up as the E36 on the A15

Cross the border into Poland and stay on the A18 into Poland.

The A18 merges into the A4 to Wroclaw.

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]

Most move to a more developed country to earn more money. This is just greed.

My gf and her mum live in Poland and have hardly any money, they wont let me give them money when I stay with them every weekend. They don't want to leave Poland, they are happy with their lives in Poland.

While there are free jobs in UK foreign people will come. If there was no welfare state there would be less free jobs for foreign people. Too many people in the UK would rather rely on the welfare state than get a menial job.

Here lies the problem

News / What the Polish government do to bring back home Polish immigrants? [116]

Show them that the UK employers are exploiting most of the Polish who work in England. I know a lot of university educated Polish people working in UK as waitresses and in coffee shops.

Poland has a chance to develop and not turn into a **** pit like the UK, I think Poles should stay in their own country and help the economy improve.

I spend most of my earnings in Poland now, I prefer Poland's way of life to the UK. Its NOT because Poland is cheaper to live, its the People in Poland are not ruled by money.

Life / Why do you choose to stay in Poland, why not other country? [152]

i was praising polish girls with this one, i am really grateful they are not like german, american or english ones. otherwise it would be true nightmare.

I understood :) but my gf has many things in common with the other nationalities.

She answers an "or" question with "yes"

She stops halfway through a sentence and I must finish it off

She says she does not want sex then complains 5 mins later when I go to sleep

there are more

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

I said I met a very very intelligent American girl, the only reason it did not work out was because she lived so far from me and I went skinny dipping with her 18 year old sister.

beelzebub:
Nonsense. More attempts to feel superior eh?
Yeah, it looks like they really need this feeling.

I don't need to feel superior i just have not met many intelligent Americans. Fact.

You keep repeating the same urban myths as fact.

What kind of dumbass people are you hanging around with?

No, I said what I saw from the people I met. I know that some Americans do know about Europe, the girl i was staying with had been studying in Austria when I met her in Italy. She was a very very clever girl.

pity most of her friends were not.

I don't hang around with dumbass people, i'm stuck working with them.

I know where Belize is, its in Central America next to Guatemala.

I visited an American University in Marquette in Michigan. The students were not that bright, a few had not even heard of the country called Austria.

All countries have dumb people but a lot of Americans know of nothing outside of America. The students that i stayed with thought the film Eurotrip was an accurate view of Europe.

Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]

And for some reason Poles do not cover themselves when sneezing and coughing in public.

Rubbish, all my Polish friends cover their mouths when the sneeze.

Being cold is better than being hot but I don't think Poland temperatures are "Comfortable" in the winter.

I've never cried about Polish girls. Polish girls are like German girls, Canadian Girls, English girls and American girls in my opinion.

Slight variations but the annoying traits are purely female traits whatever nationality.

In my experiences.

Polish bread is better than UK bread, it does not go mouldy as fast for a start.

The best bread I ever ate was just outside Pristina, straight from the bakery and it was still warm. mmmmmmm

Lots of different Polish bread and I like eating it.

The most helpful person I ever met lives in Poland so I went back for more holidays. I have traveled a lot and I like Eastern Europe more than Western Europe, UK is the last place I want to live.

Poland is 'all round' better than the rest of the countries I have visited in my opinion. I wanted to stay in Poland before I met my girlfriend. She liked me because I was trying to learn Polish and learn about the culture.

Holland in 3 hours must be flying. Have you seen German roads? Some parts are just as bad as Poland.

USA, Canada / Do many Polish people in America hate Americans? [592]

Most Polish people I know don't hate Americans, there is no point hating them. At the moment Americans don't impact on their lives too much.

Americans are disliked in Europe because a lot think they are better than Europeans but forget that the white Americans are Europeans who live on the West of the Atlantic.
