so i was talking to a polish girl last night

live2thewire

her bf is a jack of all trades sort of guy, i asked have they any plans to go home what with the euros there in 2012 so perhaps possibility of employment. she informs me that the chinese are there in their bucket loads. that got me thinking i never seen in ireland any chinese(asians) on building sites or anything.


*btw chinese are the biggest number of asians in ireland so thats why i think of an asian person as chinese, although i can definetly notice differences between different asians*

All chinamen are students.

Will all our Chinese move to Poland too? I'd find it all a bit dis-orientating.

bobbyjoe

Whats your point?

They are all working in the Chinese food joints.

The chinese are all on the Russian building sites and apparently hard grafters ,working all hrs in bitter conditions on a low wage . Many Russians object to them working there and treat them with utter contempt and some get beaten up to .

Being Young obviously is some sort of profession

I've never seen a Polish guy work in a Chinese takeaway...whats your point?

dsmythy

When the Poles lost many of their skilled workers to us greedy sons of guns they imported new ones from China and the Indian subcontinent. It seems every country goes through a phase of getting a chance to moan about foreigners.

netwhizkid

I wonder where will it stop if the Indians and the Chinese are coming to Eastern Europe and the Irish are going to america and oz will this mean the yanks and aussies will end up in China and India

Nearly every black person I've met in Galway has been a university graduate or is in university/school.

Never had a taxi driver who I wasn't able to talk about some form of higher education with.
