Have you seen the Łódź commercial yet?

Would you in Lodz? Nice one, although I haven't been there for ages and only remember it as the ugliest city I have ever seen (in Poland) ;)

Sure, I agree, the commercial is an utter lie, although the information somehow is correct ;)
but in general the film looks nice ;)

Compared to my memories, the bums, the smell, the hacked up roads, etc. it looks staggering! Makes me want to go there, just for the hell of it :)

Lodz is beautiful but still still neglected a lot..Andrzej Pieniazek edytował(a) ten post dnia 19.08.10 o godzinie 22:00

Art Nouveau buildings in Piotrkowska are the only beautiful thing in Łódź to me.
What is beautiful there to you, Andrzej?

Temat: What do FOREIGNERS love in/at Poland

What foreigners love in Poland? Ammonia environment in the cowshed
that is responsible for the red potato complection of farmers that so many town dwellers laugh at. No chance for a career on TV if you work hard in a farm? You would be surprised.

I watched some farmer's program about a Dutch family that moved to Poland to set up a dairy farm.

They said they were basically escaping red tape in their country trying to regulate every trifle that makes it hard to function. This was the explanation. By the way they spoke I would say they would easily be salesmen, managers in a corporation or in services. But they chose to run a farm as their parents did back in Holland.

Hovever, by saying they enjoy less red-tape here than back home, they did not mean they come here because they find it easier abusing environment or patience of their neighbours in any way. They were escaping an overregulated world of theirs and going to, let's say, 'primitive', harsh, irregulated life, and they find it worthwile buying a former dilapidated communist collective farm, and a piece of secondary class land to make it flourish.

I was amazed at the acceptance of the Polish neighbors, often unemployed, you would expect looking with suspicion at the economy transformation that took place and at foreign investment. And these poor men commented on the foreign newcomers with lots of friendliness. One would expect the normal suspicion against a foreigner, a primitive envy. Not this time. They were "our Dutchmen".

The Polish neighbours were proud that foreign young couple with kids enjoys the daily hard work in the farm and were successful, unlike all the offspring of Polish farmers who look for opportunities in the city far from the stench of manure.Jacek K. edytował(a) ten post dnia 19.08.10 o godzinie 22:30

Such are the stories, amongst many more, that make it worthwhile living in these (eclectic, modern, patch-work, free-4-all) times. :)

That's why I think it's ugly.

I'm sorry Andrzej, it doesn't appeal to me although I'm not ignorant neither about history nor architecture.

To be honest, I expected to read here what FOREIGNERS like about Poland, not what POLES think foreigners like, or should like about Poland. Needless to say, I didn't expect to find information on what POLES liked about Poland, additionally ignoring the obvious fact that de gustibus non est disputandum. :)

I mentioned one street, not most of the old Łodz.
Anyway, I'm not an expert in the city which I don't like. You may be right in whatever you say.

Enjoy the weekend, Andrzej.
