The only thing i might agree on is number 4, unless you were being humorous with the whole post.Every country has beautiful women,a lot of countries have good tomatos and bread and buns and also architecture isn't the best only in Poland I'm sure.

Danzig is the name in German and Dutch (at least) - does not refer to the historical political condition of the city.

Topic attached on merging:
Biggest Plus?


I have just slogged through Poland's Biggest Problem, and I'm wondering whether I can start a new thread? Is there anything positive that you can say about Poland?

Yes, sure. Poland has problems. Which country in the world hasn't?

Poland has to stand up from the ashes of the war like South Africa has to stand up from the ashes of Apartheid. We too have challenges - as do every other country in the world.

The one thing that I realised about Poland before I moved here a year ago while reading a bit of history, is that the Poles always stand up again - proud as before - no matter what they went through. Poland was off the map for 120 years? For goodness sake. There must be something positive just in the mere fact that they are back on the map. There must be so much more?

I was not a big patriot either, until I left South Africa to live in Poland. Come on you guys and girls! Do you really have nothing good to say about your own country or your own people?

sad

Do you think it's possible for people to turn the new leaf if they keep digging in the negatives of the past?

And I'm not speaking from my little throne, because the same still happens in SA

good question

if people are fixed on the negativities of the past then the potential positivities of the future are not their focus - so no, in answer to your question, which is sad... as you say

ok, people are the biggest Plus of the place... if it wasn't for that I wouldn't even consider visiting the place any more, let alone ever moving back there.

Not everyone lives in the past. I know plenty of young people who are making things happen.

I know that. But tell the stories of the young people that make the difference, because it's only by reading and hearing such stories that people will hear and see and feel the differences that are there. So tell, tell, tell.

hope you do go back some day glowa. if people are a place's biggest plus, what will happen the place's people all run off somewhere else? I say this as much to South Africans as to Poles. And yes, I know that some Poles, like some South Africans get paid peanuts. The question is how can we make it better if we all run off?

I'm not going to talk about individuals. However, there are people who have realized that they can make money based on foreign investment and what comes with it.
