Where Can I Buy Konjac Noodles Montreal

train from Gdansk to Warsaw. Chatting, mixing English, German, Polish and hand gestures, Bogdan (you see in the picture). He is a rotund man who comes from afar, from the Mazury region of northeast Poland. Comes from and goes far away: in Vienna. "Arbeit, fabrik. To work in a factory. He does it for twenty years. Up and down Europe, from the east to the Polish capital of Austria. From the family loneliness. Six months home, six months out. To raise money. Because in Mazury, of possibilities, there are few.
Many Poles who emigrated as Bogdan. About a month, for those who are, who for years and who forever. Poland is a land with a history of emigration from behind. The events following the May 1, 2004, the day of EU enlargement to former communist countries, proves it. Since then, since the EU borders have opened, an army of two million Poles had crossed the Oder-Neisse has run and went to work in Western Europe, to experience, to understand Europe. For them, there was little respect. France, Germany, Italy and other heavyweights of the West have made the barricades, convinced that the Poles - and not only they, in general all the peoples of the East - could "steal" jobs from natives.
Balle. Experience UK, Ireland and Sweden - the three EU countries that have liberalized the labor market, opening doors to the Poles - have shown that the new EU do not steal all the old jobs, but they are often in menial jobs that the old ones no longer want to do. This "dirty hands" and do so with great dedication. Not only
. The arrival of Poles in London, Dublin and Stockholm has stimulated a positive cultural contamination. Finally: the Poles did not pitch their tents outside, but they come back. Importing knoh-how and entrepreneurial spirit. Poland, thanks to this, is growing and getting rich (note: in 2008 he was the only EU countries with GDP growth despite the crisis). So, confronted with the facts, Rome, Paris, Madrid and others have brought down the "wall" that prevented Poles to emigrate in search of work. Berlin still hesitates, but will have to shoot it down. By 2011 - if I remember correctly - because it established the EU Commission.
course, is it true that not all Poles are to pack up and go home. Especially those from rural areas of the country continue to commute. The challenge of Warsaw is this: shorten the gap between the dynamism of the city and the stillness of the countryside.
