This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How is Poland a shithole? Did a person who wrote this crap have seen this country at all? We had literally one of the biggest economic growths in Europe during 90's/00's.

I am from a country that has tended to view poland in a less than flattering way. And yes, the past tense is intentional. I had the pleasure of spending a large part of 2008 in the Gdansk and Gdynia area, and I absolutely loved it. Beautiful place and friendly people.

I remember a coworker saying something along the lines of "I now understand why we have the stereotype about poor quality craftsmen coming over to us - because the best ones never left home" while we were walking through the town.
