Kim Bodnia Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Doesn't surprise me, did you know that the Russian economy has the same size as Switzerland's despite her territory being 400 x larger? Plus don't forget that a stock market value can evaporate whereas a country's economy has valuable fixed assets and resources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it's true, Iceland and Greece come to mind. Russia didn't have they actually have tons of oil, it's what's keeping the country afloat and the oligarchs rich.

Ghost of Electricity Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Holy crap. Poland is doing so bad in the economic crisis. They (we) managed to avoid going into recession during the first wave (I think the only European country that did though things did slow down. The Euro 2012 tournament is coming this summer so that should give an additional boost. But I guess we're no Apple. Oh well, our women are better looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 had me some golabki and pierogi just this weekend, as a matter of fact. I'd take that over an iPhone any day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Bodnia Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I know it's not Poland, but I really wish I visit this place soon. I love zapiekanki by the way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Strange with all you folk liking the Polish food- I live here and think it's average at best. And it's beer is quite good at devaluating your head the following morning. where's Slubice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just over the river from Frankfurt (Oder), Germany about 150 km south of Szczecin...I think we appreciate Polish food because it is a treat that most of us don't have oftent...There is a hugh Polish population here in NJ where I can get all the kiebasa, perogies and Zyweik beer I need.
