In other words:
Science = the function of things
Religion = the meaning of things

That about the size of it?

Therefore, unlike Europe, America was not established thousands of years ago as a "white country" until the Vikings, later St. Brendan, eventually Columbus, followed by the Puritans, set down roots on the American continent.

"Foreign" being of course any non-Caucasian, right?
America was settled by Asians from across the Bering Strait, from present day Siberia, NOT Europe so get a life, Rich!

The Vikings came far later.

However where the markets fail, a beef injection into the national economy can't hurt.

Mexico's economy should be built up with US aid, thereby more or less eliminating the need for Mexicans to head for the US border😊

Smart move there, guy!
Glad to hear it. Last but not least, brush up on your Polish skills.
Finally, foreign girls like to turn tricks with nice looking Englishmen, Aussies or Yanks, so watch out!
A word word of advice.

Any business transaction in my professional experience involves some sort of added incentive and anybody who claims opposite is LYING!
Such can come in the form of either a close personal or professional referral, even a letter of reference from a cleric, but never have I heard of waltzing into another country, "Hi, I'm here!", and effecting a deal, sight unseen.
That's pure BS, gang!

Come on, people! What planet are YOU living on?? Bribery was as much a daily staple in the Black Market as La Kamora or L'Indranghetta, still alive and well in present day Italy!

Sure there are.
However, as here in the US, a little envelope doesn't hurt either.

Possibly, however Poland, as with other countries with a Black Market past, doesn't simply allow foreigners to rent unless the broker or landlord has been reached somehow in order to "smooth the way",so to speak.
Sorry to disappoint you, Bambi😄.

Simply that it's highly unlikely for a complete outsider to arrive in Poland just like that and rent a flat without either an intro aka lapowka or look physically as though that person would fit in.

Poland is not like Western European nations in this respect.

That's all I meant, no offense.

I take it you have local contacts or you know at least the lingo?
If not, you're really screwed unless you look like a hunk!

@Torq,
Never allow religion to interfere with your knowledge of science. After all, both are headed in the same direction!
