News / U.S. role in Poland is shrinking [82]
thank God!
Half the population still lives in communist-era high-rise slabs.
slabs are much better than cardboard.
Polish business is oriented toward Germany, by far the country's largest trading partner and investor.
and it is obvious that less oriented toward Greenland ;)

Life / Cost of Utilities in Warsaw. [23]
I install meters (podlicznik) from time to time and it is very uncommon to let apartment without its own meter. It costs about 200zł so even compared with bills it is worth to take the trouble to clear this strange situation.
We don't have access to the meter - we live in a building complex and for some reason we can't go ourselves to check the meter located in the building somewhere.
