Thanks Daniel so how is Lodz? Did the old buildings suffer during the war or were they prserved? Are there WWII museums ?
I suppose you are learning to speak polish too, that must be difficult.

Erich here is a link with the history of the ghetto (the largest after Warsaw)

Litzmannstadt Ghetto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Hallo Wessex Wyvern,
Liebe Grüsse auf die grüne Insel.Bin ein grosser Fan von der Britischen Kultur und von Jamie Oliver
Denke in 2 Monaten werde ich meine Schwester in London besuchen.
Ich mag London.

Lodz is a Disaster Area.Lodz is a poor City.If you earn 300 Dollar the month you have luck.
Since Poland is in the EU they start to invest in the infrastructur and renovate the old buildings but its a long way.
But we have the largest Shopping Mall in Poland here.The area was a industrial complex from Izrael Poznanski, one of the most famous 19th century entrepreneurs of Lodz.
here you can see how this look Lodz 2007

Last year I drove near Krakow on the Highway(Autobahn) from Adolf Hitler.Very old Highway but functional.
My polish is like my english.Not good
I not look a WWII Museum here but I thing for a good one I need to drive to Warsaw or Krakow.
I want drive this year to Oswiecim(Auschwitz).Its is 200 km from Lodz.

 

In London gehen sie zu Imperial War Museum, es ist sehr gut.
Welcome to the Imperial War Museum London Home Page

 

Are ther prices of food low or are they similar to prices in western Europe now? If the prices are low then tourists are rich (are there many tourists now or do they all go to Krakau or Warsaw? ) If the prices are expensive then life must be be difficult in Poland.
I also recommend the imperial War Museum in London.

 

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!

 

Daniel ~ Skipper yes I noted my edit at the bottom of my question as I searched and found that Daniel was in Poland now in that infamous area of the camp.

thanks though for the continued information .........

 

The prices for food is low.But power(electric),petrol,Cars,Computers and Electronics are similar like westeurope.
It is total normal here that 5 peoples share a room.My Daughters Teacher have a sidejob.He clean Windows every Friday and Saturday because he have 1200 Sloty every month.This is 331.96 Euro or 487.69 Dollar.
This peoples here not earn much.
You have much old peoples who sell flowers or eggs on the streets because the old age pension is a joke and a home for the aged exist not here.
I ve read that the US social system is a catastrophe if you are workless.Is this right?

 

Bloody Hell, if pay is that low no wonder we have over a Million* Poles in the UK.
Couple of really cute girls at our place, blokes around them like flies around sh*t.

* Number I read in trashy paper today, not sure of true amount.

 

Daniel, how can people buy computers and pay their electricity if their monthly salary is the price of the computer itself?
There are large Polish communities in several European countries. The UK is one example. I recently read an article that since the civil war (Cromwell) there are more Catholic church goers there now than Anglican church goers thanks to the poles (and Tony Blair). Same thing in Holland, the Poles are quite popular there because they are hard workers in the green houses and do the jobs the Dutch do not want to do. In France there are polish communities that stem from the 1920s immigration, especially near the former coal mines of Flanders and Lorraine. Ther is even a polish retirement home and a chuch service in Polish in west of Orleans. It's very useful when I need to translate material from ex Polish squadron airmen.

 

You may as well pick a number at random; nobody knows how many people of any nationality are actually in the UK

 

That IS grim. The BOTTOM 10% of employed males in the UK earn £250/ PER WEEK (pre-tax) or about 1185 Zloty so about 4 times as much in a month. A newly qualified teacher earns 1825 Zloty/WEEK and the average salary would be in excess of either of these. It isn't all good, the average house in the UK costs more than £230,000 (close to 1.2 million Zloty) but is still hardly surprising Poles want more for themselves and move elsewhere; I would if it was me.

 

Interesting many Poles are returning to their homeland if they have a trade because there is a skilled labour shortage and on some city developements are paying almost compariable wages. However, I don't the same can be said for Slovakia.

 

welcome Daniel!!!
