In response to your last question the answer is yes.28 on 16 off.As for Poland..well,yeah it's getting pricey.Not only that ,the schools are getting dodgey.All my friends here have been ripped of by virtually every school they have worked for.Even IH ,who normally pay terribly but are usually on time have been late with salaries here in Poznan.Let's face it,no-one comes here to earn money but the good times to be had often require money.Most men I know that are here have stayed because of the booze and the birds, period.Recently I've found myself buying a lot of drinks.The women have become a bit more fleecier .You have to ring them cos they're too mean to use their mobiles,(which they carry around for all to see) and the most expensive pubs in town are full of beautiful women who haven't got a pot to relieve themselves in.I'm having a good time here but Poland is not what it was in the glory days (mid-nineties)....or maybe I'm just getting too old for the frontier nights!!Anyone who says '"I earn 4000zl a month and I live well",has obviously never really lived well.

LOL

Ok, whatever... I'm a woman, so the guys do buy me drinks.. Wink

But seriously, you cannot compare wages in Poznan, Warsaw, Wroclaw or any of the big, touristy places (or in the case of Poznan--international fairs) to Upper Silesia.. My flat is 600, fully furnished, newly renovated and in the center.. If I earn 4000/month, the other 3400 goes a LONG way! (Zywiec, Tyskie, Okocim).. Things are just cheaper here!

But the MEN.. You guys have NO clue how lucky you are.. How come the guys are so ugly, but the women are so beautiful Question Question Question Hmmmm.. I thought I knew about genes, but now I'm not so sure...

Anyway, I'll leave you men to your complaining... Enjoy! Very Happy

That sounds just like Cambodia. Indeed, i used to theorize out loud -- to no one in particular --that Cambodia was the Poland of Asia, and lo and behold, it seems they were on similar tracks. Lucky for Poland, tho, it's not nearly as poor or messed up.
