This is not a political blog and I am not endorsing anyone. But I saw this piece on the blog of Tim Maistsi and think it is great and something to think about. I even managed to watch the whole piece, it caught my attention and it might catch yours as well.

A refreshing look of history-reasons why old maps are cool
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
When it comes to history, I never really cared for it much as I just thought of it as a waste of our valuable memory which (I was strongly in favour of the useful subjects like the sciences - alas I was young and dreamt of a sci-fi utopia where historians were only to be found scattered in various glass jars with lot of bubble streams etc.). However I'm a bit more easy-going now that I've matured and realise there is room for all those countless dates which set out a timeline of events that...

Almost got to lubniewice

We should be travelling to a lakeside town at this very moment. A friend of ours, Jan, invited us to his place in Lubniewice in the west of Poland (map) for a post graduation party by the lake. It would have taken 6 hours or so to get there but it would have been worth it.....beers, swimming in the lake, catching and eating fish, beers, sunshine, trees, tents, beers, kayaking, canoeing, kielbasa probably vodka...... and some more beer, you get the picture. Jan even got a fishing rod for me...

From Tucson Real Estate News, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Home buyers frequently ask us "How long has this home been on the market'" This is a very popular question with anyone purchasing a home in the Bay Area since it can provide a general gauge as to the possible interest level of buyers for a particular property. Additionally, it can sometimes be utilized as a barometer for potential price reductions by home sellers.
Traditionally the answer to this "Days on Mar...

Poland Pub watch - Grota pub
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I've decided to review pubs,restaurants or whatever catches my eye. When I was in the pub game, mystery drinkers were my pet hate (those people that get paid to eat, drink and then rate a place) not because I didn't want to get a bad score from them but because their introduction increased the amount of training that I had to give to new staff and I hated that!. Furthermore lots of brightly multi-coloured stickers and posters with picture prompts came to cover every available space that wearing...

Who came up with these signs'
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
When I first arrived in Poland I ran into some trouble straight away when I had to go to the toilet. I was confronted with images similar to those in the photo and I used my higher brain function to both logically try to figure this little puzzle out and subdue my urge to release. After what seemed like days and no native poles noticeably male or female needing to enter, I needed to bite the bullet myself. I had just seen and read the Da Vinci code and in this moment thought I was extremely...

Kotlet schabowy - yummy obiad
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Polish food is a large part of the culture and I am willing to reflect this through my breakfasts (sniadanie) and dinners (obiad). There are other meals such as second breakfast (first breakfast can be a chore as I'm not usually hungry), but they are no way near as important.This particular dish are pork cutlets in breadcrumbs which are then fried and traditionally served with kiszona kapusta (sour raw cabbage) and ziemniaki (potatoes, usually skinned and boiled). The dinner I had which is the...

Since I have been in Poland I have noticed the pride and support that is evident when Poland is involved in any type of sport. I was in a bar when Poland beat Portugal in a qualifying match a while ago and the atmosphere was incredible not just in the pub, but everywhere. I urge them on now in any sport in hope that further success will only increase the already near un-peakable (is that a word') enthusiasm I have witnessed. About 11pm last night I was regretting the fact that I was not out to...

It's hot apparently
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In London when it approaches and hits 30 degrees, everyone goes mental. It is the only thing to talk about and everyone says 'It's too hot' after a long sigh while sweating profusely. Even the slightest movement causes a person to melt, actually just breathing usually does the trick.And yet here I didn't think it was extremely hot but after looking at the thermometer..... The reason is probably due to the fact London is a concrete city and city heat is much 'wetter' making you more...

In lwowek slaski for Kate Ryan concert
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
A group of us travelled about an hour out of Szklarka to go to Iwowek slaski for a concert. I had not heard of Kate Ryan but wrongly jumped to the conclusion that she is of Irish descent and famous in Europe because she failed to break into British culture. I found out however, that she was born in Belgium to Dutch parents but some of her songs are still OK, quite catchy but her false American accent became quite annoying after a while. I got quite near to her though as you can see on the left....

Everything in Poland is not cheaper
From The Tampa Real Estate Insider-Ta, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It came as a surprise that electrical goods and branded trainers here are much more expensive than in England. Since food, cigs and booze are much cheaper, I extrapolated this to all goods. Economics and all that jazz is not my strong point so I was confused because the country on a whole is poorer but I think it is something to do with little competition here and they stay in business due to the small, rich section of society buying their products. Basically anything imported is really...
