Foreigners: Please don't buy the Polish Land!

your ppost 192 is horseradish! portugal is far better off then poland and so is ireland! that is down to being a member of the EU. Poland will benefit more being in the eu than outside. that is a fact provided for you. Various facts provided by me are littered throughout the forum so to you too your 'facts' attract as much attention as mine do to you. so go figure.

Not really much. Czechs are already ahead of them.



Have I ever disagreed with that ?

where's your figures and sources backing that up?

Global Competitiveness Report for 2005, published by the World Economic Forum, places Portugal on the 22nd position, ahead of countries like Spain, Ireland, France, Belgium and Hong Kong. This table shows that Portugal has stepped two places regarding the 2004 ranking. On the Technology index, Portugal was ranked 20th and on the Public Institutions index Portugal is the 15th best.

Global Competitiveness Report 2006: Rank Czech 29th out of 125 countries

So what you talking about mo?

weforum.org/en/initiatives/gcp/Global%20Competitiveness%20Report/index .htm

-edit-
needless to say portugal & czech are close in the table of 125 AND both BENEFITTED due to EU membership

Czech still is notorious for corruption BUT noted as one of the most successful former communistic states

well its good to know you dont disagree with that.

Czech Republic joined EU less than 3 years ago...

You voted because you were brain wasted by the propaganda which was so intense during this time, and what were you promised, Milk and Honey??, and what have you go now..nothing apart from debts and divisions in the community. The milk has turned sour and honey has gone to GB to marry some wealthy englishman.

Both still benefitted, i dont here you denying this

And would lo0se respect for you if you tried! we both agree its better to be IN the EU than OUT.

how would poland benefit outside the EU?

what alternative would there be for poland? how would it be any different or better?

The best alternative would have been for Poland not to have been so eager and then joined the EU at a later date.

so why the attitude? We love the poles in england and youre very welcome

true true!

Not judging by other forums I visit.

judge not lest you be judged

id have to say again it is a vocal minority of Poles AND english

giving the rest (of both nationalitues) a bad name

Those who have a problem are very vocal. I understand that those who don't care and those who have no problem......don't post. The views read by the casual reader of some forums might sway opinion. The fact is that I see more negative than positive.

i post

you post

that is two

Hey i was born in England (unfortunately) but I reckon the Poles are the nicest people
When I was in Przasnsyz last week even strangers said Dzien dobry to me .
and the females are the hottest on the planet.

I am not sure that you understand what it would be like to live in Poland on a £100 per month salary after you have been living in the west for most of your life. Why do we have 600,000 polish in England since the collapse of communism if life is so good in the east? To visit Poland on holiday is one thing but to live in a country where you pay for everything-remember there is a very limited wealfare system unlike in the U.K. ect. Children pay for all medicines not like in England where under 16's get in all for nothing.

A very valid point Michal. Without supplimentary income or working for a foreign multinational on a western salary it is going to be struggle for the wannabees. Unless of course they intend to use capital to invest in buy to let real estate. In my experience that would not be a good place for first timers in that line to start. But hey, we only learn from mistakes so let them try it.

I am fully in agreement with ola123 on this subject. Any foreigner holding investment in polish real estate or thinking of doing so should , in my opinion, be hung, drawn and quartered.

This apparent change of heart has nothing to do whatsoever with the personal threats I have received in Poland or that fact that I sold all mine to my Polish partner last week, thus creating a confirmed Polish capitalist (and a rich one at that). I would like to apologise to anybody who has been forced to live on the streets as a result of my
'before enlightenment' actions. I would also like to apologise to the four students who have been paying well under the market rate for rent for the last three years. I would also like to apologise to the American businessmen who have been paying well over the going rate for the last three years (suckers!)

I will never darken your real estate door again. May God have mercy upon my soul.

Szarlotka....are you on the booze??

yeah... im also starting to think that ola knows what its all about and that i am just a stinkin capatilist...

infact... i am thinking of running a lottery for my flat in sopot - tickets are 1O,OOO zl to win a 3OO, OOO zl flat... cant say fairer than that guv, can you...?

I would love to be a stinking capitalist...unfortunately i'm broke !!

i had to sell crack to a hell of a lot of small kiddies in order to build my capital...

Yes - leaving in a few mins for round 2 with the new capitalist. She is buying too I must be drunk cos I'm taking my lawyer too.

What about thousands of pols in UK.sleepin in london streets.shall we ask them to go back.no we are goin to.

Michal
you are 100% right.
God bless

unless your working for a multinational on western pay....than its 99.5%

but not far wrong

Hehe. We've got another one you guys.....he's finding out about us, soon he'll marry a Pole, have children, and ask for a nice place to live in Poland

im ahead already

Im getting married to a Polish girl in Poland July 2007 and yes I will be moving to Poland hopefully in 2008

hey is there a way for a Foreigner to buy a land in poland without going to poland?
