Yes, I'm polish.

[Pizdzius]

Taken from an article in a French Newspaper: (please take a note I am translating from polish)
"Poland. This is a country full of absurd. A country where every fifth citizen lost his life during World War Second, where 1/5 of nation lives in other countries and where one on three people has 20 years. A country that has twice as much students than France, and engineer's salary is lower than road worker's. A country, where average citizen spends twice the salary he's paid, where average salary doesn't exceed price (!) of three pairs of good shoes, where we are said there is no poverty and foreign capital is invested every day. A country, in which a price of a car is equivalent to three year salary, yet still you can't find a place to park a car. A country ruled by former socialists, where christian festivals are days free of work (!)
A weird country, where you can talk in english with a steward, in french with a cook, in german with a shop seller, but to talk with a minister or official you have to find a translator.

Poles..! How do you do that?"

Damn, they are right ;(

Hahahaha, you're kidding, right? We're worse than that :P

Interestingly enough, I find this article to describe pretty well how living in Buenos Aires is.

Let me change some things and you'll see what I mean:

"Argentina. This is a country full of absurd. A country where every fifth citizen lost his life during the 2001 stock market crisis, where 1/5 of nation lives in other countries and where one on three people has 20 years. A country that has twice as much lawyers than France, and engineer's salary is lower than road worker's. A country, where average citizen spends three times the salary he's paid, where average salary doesn't exceed price (!) of two pairs of good shoes, where we are said there is no poverty and foreign capital is not invested every day.

A weird country, where you can talk in english with a child, in french with a philosophy studient, in german with a shop lifter, but to talk with a minister or official you have to find a translator because they can't even speak proper Spanish.

Of course we're better than US! We were almost 7 years ahead of their crisis, we implemented more or less the same speech about the "for every dollar in the banks you will get a dollar" (in the end, the ones like me who had dollars received pesos, which still are US$ 0.30 seven years later), and we implemented that fancy "you can't withdraw more than $X in a month" idea!

We are still living bad times, even when this started 7 years ago. So, better you watch over Brazil economic models because in less than three years we're gonna be their economic satellite.

I warned you.
