Reasons for moving to Poland

wonka
I'm Polish, living in UK for 4 years and planning to move back with English bf in about two years. I see UK as a good place to be when you're a student, you party a lot, drink yourself stupid and have sex since you're 12.
When you think about starting a family (like I do) Poland is a much better place to do so.
1) Polish doctors are brilliant and they know what to do
2) Education is fantastic
3) Food is organic everywhere you go and it's fresh from the market
4) Weather. Let's put it this way, we have four seasons not four rolling into one - it being miserable and wet
5) Beatiful places in Poland. Great location in Europe, can't get any more central than that.
6) Culture - let's say that we still have manners and don't spit at bus drivers just because we can
7) Work market is picking up
etc.

I moved here for a woman and because i was sick of England
i am now on my own, but i will stay here i really like it

Hi I dont know how often you've been back to Poland recently but thigs have changed since u lived here. The fruit is no longer totally organic as EU law dictates that it must now contain additives to prolong its shelf life. There are also markets in UK BTW.

Second, just the other day some racist Polish **** spat in the face of a black girl who was getting on a bus here, so it happens everywhere.

Thirdly, have u ever been out of the cities of the UK? Britain has some absolutely breathtaking places to see, especially in Wales with all our castles, rolling hills and dense forests.

Fourthly UK doctors are very good and sometimes cant do their jobs properly because of the financial limitations imposed on them. The health system in poland hs let me down too many times.

Basically ur moving back here cos of the drop in the pound. But think of ur hubby before u come here. There arent really many openings for him here except teaching.

I'm visiting family and friends every 6 months so i think i know how things are at the moment. Where i'm from (Warsaw) veg, fruit, meat etc. is always organic because i get it from one of many markets in the city (there are two 5 minutes away from my parents).
Markets in UK tend to be demolished or just abandoned. I have never seen a market in UK where you can buy different type of cheeses, veg, meat, fresh bread etc. I think the best proof would be my bf who was shocked to see so many different items sold on the market, which are fresh and cheap - goes to show this type of establishment is nowhere to be found here.

I have been to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, North East of England so i know there are beatiful places in UK. The only problem is that most of the seaside towns look the same, proper mountains are in Wales and Scotland so overall diversity isn't great. Oh and if you do want to go somewhere nice, you have about 95% of possibility of getting drenched.
Not to mention that should you want to visit any of your neighbours on the mainland you don't have that many to choose from.

British doctors very good? that's a good one! Last year when i've had pneumonia and was coughing my guts out, one of the symptoms was that i was very weak and dizzy. I was told to lie down and take paracetamol which is definitely no. 1 drug in UK and heals all sort of things. If it wouldn't be for me going to visit family at that time and being checked by a doctor in Warsaw, i would probably end up in the hospital or something and get MRSA to top it off.

As for a pound dropping in value, i couldn't care less as i didn't come here to work my guts out.

You said you lived in Manchester, surely you went to Bury market? Stop talking sh*t.
Oh wow! One proper market in the whole district! really impressive.

Again you are talking rubbish, we have the Lake District and the Peak District! Are you sure you lived in Manchester???
I've been there and it is beatiful but i didn't enjoy as much as i would do due to the weather.

So you got bad advice off one Doctor so they are all bad, I can only imagine where you lived to get such a shite Doctor.
I lived in four different places in Manchester, incl. city centre and didn't see any improvement. And no, i never used to live in a dodgy area so getting a shite doctor isn't based on the area.

Good for you, when are you going back since you hate it so much?
As soon as i am able to, you would be happy to know.

Oh and just so you know that my move is based on comparing things in these two countries and by actually having that experience, not by imaging how it is or might be.

They conned my fiancee's grandma to the tune of 30k.

was that you told me you were 19?

They made out that they were some clerks

what was the scam WB?

crappy ring saying he would reimburse me, by this time id had enough and just stuck the car in drive - accelerated and that was that.

With a car full of lads, it could've got nasty.

i think they targeted me because of the UK plate.

Cant trust the Romanians.
