USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]
Yes 2 women speak for a nation of millions. Nothing like stereotyping and generalizing! Be afraid, yes be very afraid... Hahahaha The only thing to fear is fear itself. I personally don't believe this story at all. "My 2 friends had this happen..." Probably just a case of jealousy against a Polish girl...

USA, Canada / To move back to Poland from the USA or not to move back....that is the question [119]
First just come here and see if you like it before making a big move. Common sense. Secondly Polish people WILL NOT consider you Polish or having a pure Polish heart or whatever imo. You are American with Polish roots. That isn't saying that they will not be nice to you but you will not be considered Polish. If you get your citizenship then ok maybe but since you are not born here... So before selling the farm and shipping it all over here take a test run and see how it goes would be my advice. As well with American pp it isn't easy to stay here in the Schengen so u would have to get your Polish PP to stay longterm hassle free. A lot of Americans find it difficult to live here.

Life / Warsaw - what's there to love? Semi-livable city? [42]
Vancouver? If you like rain, drugs and junkies its a great place. I have been there twice and can't say that I was so attracted to it... I live in Warsaw and like it. Gdansk seems to be a nice place as well. Haven't been to Wroclaw. Krakow although interesting is too small for my tastes...

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]
oh you can find many dated fashions in the rural parts of the US for sure. Like I said I don't care much about fashion so I am going into an area that I don't really know. But for instance those belts the girls wear here with the metal things on them, the fake leopard skin dresses and blouses many women wear. But of course the average Pole will always be better dressed than an American. I can always tell the American tourists because they are dressed like they are on the way to the gym. I have exhausted my fashion knowledge now and will have to consult my gf from here on out haha I like it here so I cant really say there is anything I hate but I wouldn't say that people are on the cutting edge of fashion here like in Italy or somewhere but I find that type of fashion obsession over the top.
Nobody can criticise the US for not being fashionable

I like Poland but the fashion sense can be a bit dated at times but I just think its funny. I don't hate it nor do I really care about fashion. And wow I have seen some great mullets here!

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]
I like the great communist things left over except for the awful redtape of administration. the little shops and local cultural centers with people selling toilet paper on the side of the street

ok fair enough seanus but he is teaching the middle path more out of practicality than anything else. a direct uprising against the chinese will only result in a massacre and he realizes that. what else can he do?

what is interesting and in some ways forgotten perhaps is that poland itself did not exist for over a hundred years due to occupation. perhaps this is what the dalai lama is referring to in a message of hope to his people. in some ways it is a similar situation. i am going to see him speak on Thursday in warsaw

Work / What Jobs are there in Poland for an Englishman besides teaching english? [70]
I think a trained, qualified, experienced chef can work anywhere in the world. short of that I bet there are many IT jobs available. but if you are not qualified in any specific field than english teaching is the most viable option. you can try it you might like it. for years I thought I would hate it but I actually really enjoy it.
