Quoting: Michal Oh really, as far as I was aware, Poland is one of the most bancrupt countries in the World. What is the state of Poland's debts today? As far as I was aware, they still owe us billions in unpaid loans The US and France have much more debts than Poland, and they're rich ! Poland is not poor, if it's what you try to tell me...

Quoting: Polson verywhere, stop saying that Poland is different ! It is different, Poland is poorer than most countries because the poles do not understand fiscal thinking and do not respect money. They never have and they never will. End of story.

What are you talking about ???! In Europe or in the world ?
If you compare Poland with western super rich countries who benefited of the US money after World War II, don't. England and France for example had a great help from the the US while Poland was in the hands of communism.
Now the country is rebuilding itself, and the economy is growing very fast, investors love Poland, and salaries are rising too. All that takes a long time.

Totally disagree. We'll see within the next 10-15 years ;)

The Poles are not paying back their debts or they would not be able to squander so much money. Obviously, international banks have written off the debts.

That's your explanation of Poland not even being in the top 49.

Quoting: Michal it is not worth while me visiting all of Poland all of the time to keep up with the latest trends Err, the collapse of Communism and the ensuing socio-economic changes were more than just a trend. Also you didnt need to visit Poland to see this as I believe it was mentioned on the news at the time.

I regret that my fellow countrymen are so ignorant about Poland , but you have to remember that we have had a lot of years of anti comunist propaganda in the UK...We were told over and over what terrible people were on the other side of the Berlin wall , what terrible lives they had , how lucky we were to be born in a free country....A lot of us believed it....When i was a soldier i stood on the Berlin wall and never in a million years did i ever imagine that one day i would live on the other side of that wall...Don,t be insulted when people say such things , just try to educate them , invite them to Poland , they will love it as much as i , and all my friends from the Uk that have visited me do.....The most common question i get is....Poland...where is it exactly....???

Quoting: Kilkline Also you didnt need to visit Poland to see this as I believe it was mentioned on the news at the tim The collapse of Communism as seen in Berlin with the collapse of the Berlin Wall was really the main feature of the last days of communism in Eastern Europe not so much Warsaw and the Poles.

You have Televisions in Poland? Where do you plug them in? Do they run on coal? Are you allowed to watch just anything on TV or is it only programes from your capitol city Moscow that you can watch?

Obviously the above was a joke but,to turn this around a little. What is the stupidest thing youve heard about the UK from people in Poland ?

Does everyone in Poland live in flats? I heard not so long ago. Quoting: urszula If they drive on the wrong side, what side is their steering wheels on? If you do have a car with the driver's seat on the other side to everyone else, get a large dog (Owczarek Podhalanski, for example) to sit by your side on the passenger seat. Then try to make it look as if you are not the one doing the driving.

I was telling my mother that my boyfriend Marcin and I are going to Poland this upcoming summer, that we are going to land in Germany and drive to Poland. She was suprised to find out that Germany was anywhere near Poland.
