Travel / Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear? [95]

your mentality ... is outdated

This is just the impression i get from Polish friends....its not what i think.....The young people i used to teach seem to think anything British or American must be fantastic...they cant understand why i want to live here , but to put you right..i love Poland , and many things Polish....

Travel / Collection of dress codes in Poland - what to wear? [95]

I am sure you will look lovely....I shouldn,t worry too much about looking too different from the Polish women....Whatever you wear you will probably inspire all the Polish women to copy it , as Anything British has got to be great....As a male i do notice that Polish fashion is a bit different to English...Why not have a look at some of the Polish fashion websites , see what sort of stuff Polish women like to wear.....

News / Polar bear attack - a Polish guy survived [38]

Don,t shoot the bears.......if you are going to bear country there are things you can do to avoid becoming a bears dinner....most bear attacks occur because some muppet has got too close to one , or attracted it by leaving food near a campsite.....Killing them should be the last resort......

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]

When i first came to Poland i was told about this tradition , and the fact it was kept in the bath for a few days...I knew the bit about eating carp for Christmas was true , as i had read it on the internet , but i thought the part about keeping it in the bath was a wind up....My Polish friend Aneta and me had a long history of telling each other complete lies about each others national traditions , so i thought this was one of her wind ups....She took geat pleasure in showing me , not one but two large carp in the bath at her parents house...Not long afterwards i took Kuba the family cat into the bathroom to show him the fish...he was very interested indeed...After a while i took him out of the bathroom , firmly closed the door , and we went downstairs...Unfortunatly Kuba , who is a rather beefy tomcat decided the fish were worth another look...While we were all busy downstairs he returned to the bathroom , swung on the doorhandle untill the door opened , and dragged one of the fish out of the bath...The fish was almost as big as he was , but it didn,t stop him giving it a good beating from which it died....You can guess who got the blame for all this......

Love / My Polish wife doesn't want to move to the UK with me - what to do? [96]

there are a million poles in england doing that already!

I hope so , but most of the young ones in Poland keep telling me that Poland has no future , and they want to stay in UK....It would be nice to think that national pride will make them stick up for Poland when they meet English strangers , but you can,t blame Brits for thinking....if Poland is so great , what are all you Poles doing in UK...????

Love / My Polish wife doesn't want to move to the UK with me - what to do? [96]

Hi Britguy yeah , there is red tape in every country , but i think its worth giving it a go , and if you have a Polish wife you will find it a bit easier...Besides , in Poland the many years of red tape means that the Poles are experts at getting around it...I am in the north west of Poland near a town called Ostrowice , just off the road between Drawsko pomorskie , and Polczyn zdroj , about 17 kms from Polczyn zdroj....I have been living here two years on an old farm i bought.....

Love / My Polish wife doesn't want to move to the UK with me - what to do? [96]

I am very entrepreneurial in vision,

If you are entrepreneurial , and the Poles are not then you have every chance of making a good business without a lot of competition...The future as i see it for Poland is tourism , lots of Brits coming here and giving me , and my Polish workers lots of dosh in order to enjoy the unspoilt beauty of Poland....Sadly i have all the idea,s and contacts to do this , but not as yet the money....But i am lioving here , so its a start.....If you are a bit more sorted you could look at the same possibilities i have......I don,t want to give all my idea,s away , but for example....A weeks horse riding in the UK is going to set somebody back the best part of 800 quid....Half that , and even with the expense of organising the Polish riding stable , running around booking hotels for people , and shipping them from place to place , a group of ten people will bring you a nice bit of cash....Your wife can sort out the bits that need to be done in Polish , and you can spend your time chatting in your own language....Its only one of many idea,s i have....i am sure you can think of more.....But you are going to have to learn to tell these tourists what a wonderfull place Poland is......that might be a bit tricky.......For me its easy , i love it here....
