The general rule for living in a foreign country is; "When in Rome, do as
Romans do" PERIOD!
Why is then, that so many foreigners in Poland like to supercede Polish ways
with their own foreign rules and ways of doing things? Not only that, British
citizens for example seem to be shocked that Poles don't do everything
English (or Western European) way....And if this is not a sign of arrogance I
don't know what else you can call this.
I believe we could avoid many disagreements if non-Poles took this simple
truth under consideration; Poles do things that work for Poles, Brits do
their tricks to suite their idea of World.
I'm just mad when Tony Blair tries to convince Poles that the 100 milion Euro
is better for them... than 6 billion Euro....And yet he says that with a
straight face. I believe that British avoid inconvenient questions whenever
possible, they developed this "English arrogant trash talk" what Dave
calls "nuances" that they actually believe it to be the truth.
