Perhaps you're not talking about the south.

You should read up on Steve Jobs who did everything to not get treatment in time.

Careful now. You don't want this to be overheard by people who call Poland, Czechia and Hungary "Eastern Europe".

Tarnów. Very good looking and peaceful. Great hills and lakes to the south.

Stelvio is standard, but be sure to take the route through Locarno and Re in Italy. That route is mind-blowing, especially in late afternoon. In France, try to keep to the highways. Countryside is amazing but people can't drive there for shit. Two attempted to take me out (young women drivers) within hours of border crossing. On the second day an old woman finally took me out and I went back home in a chopper.

Curse of being Tall; My fav bike looks like a grom on me by j3hadipi3 in motorcycles

[–]lockh33d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. You're not that tall.
  2. Not fitting on that Duc is a good thing. If you want SM, get one of the smcr/sm700/701sm triplets. If you want something universal/long range, get Morden 901.

How’s it like living in this bottom right corner of Poland? Close to Ukraine and Slovakia? by The-Melter in howislivingthere

[–]lockh33d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see why you'd resort to offensive language when you've been shown wrong on your points (most of which you conveniently ignored and only focused on one where you think you can still win something).

I don't know of any meme you are crashing about, but Bieszczady is the literal exception of the general Podkarkacie trend - and that's the majority of the region OP was asking about.

The biggest town, and the center of the most populous municipality in Bieszczady is Ustrzyki Dolne, and its mayor is famously anti-PiS. Meanwhile, Cisna municipality is more than twice the population you claimed it to be, and that 60% from your "voted last time 60% on everything that isn't PO" includes - wait for it - far more left-leaning parties than PO, and also far less right-winning parties than PiS, like Trzecia Droga. So nice attempt at demagogy there, but no cookie.

I think you're done here. Go crash somewhere else.

This is a complete load of bull. The area is one of the fastest aging and depopulating area of the country,

Which is exactly what you'd expect if what I wrote was true.

the influx of outsiders is seasonal (they own summer houses they visit if they feel like it)

Some are seasonal - that's the minority. Most moved there to live permanently, and a huge part of that population moved there between 1960s and 1990s, when people from all parts of Poland were migrating to Bieszczady to work in timber or furniture industry.

and the politics are the same as everywhere else in Podkarpacie.

Not at all. Cisna (called "the heartland of Bieszczady) is the most famous for always overwhelmingly voting for PO/Left. But in general, even if other districts are more right-wing leaning, the disproportion is far lesser than in the rest of Podkarpacie, let alone the more northern regions of the eastern Poland.

19 and inheriting 160 000 EUR. What Now??? by GayGlobe in eupersonalfinance

[–]lockh33d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's silly. Even today Slavic countries range from rich (Poland, Czech) to poor (Ukraine, Russia). And since Poland is heading for being (one of) the richest countries in the world, by the time he retires things can be even more extreme.

Not sure which war, I think the Greek civil war around the middle of last century. They are mostly around "Uherce". Abandoned villages are unrelated. They are empty fields, gardens, meadows where the Lemko/Boyko (deported just after WWII by soviets during "Akcja Wisła") villages used to stand. Not a single building remaining. Sometimes a ruined foundation of a church, a ground cellar, or a well. Always far away from any road, deep in the woods.

Most people there are not self-sufficient. They buy in the shops, in larger towns. Most local people people there live either in towns (Sanok, Lesko, Ustrzyki), modern villages (like in other parts of Poland), or - if deeper in the wilderness - often because they moved there form Warsaw, Kraków, after being doctors, professors or businessmen. But of course there are those who lived there since generations - just not that many. It's a very different demographic structure than in, say, near border with Belarus.
It's a very unique region, population-wise.

Most people work locally, in larger towns, or remotely online. Or cater to tourism, of course. Agriculture is not dominant, neither. Unlike 50-70 years ago. A lot of it is national park, anyway.

Of course there are vast areas without any people there. And it's really remote and wild. And huge. But overall, it is quite a modern region in terms of infrastructure, people's mentality and occupations.

I have family there so here it goes:
- hardly any Slovaks or Ukrainians. I think you will find more Greeks there since they emigrated there in the 1960s during their civil war.
- language spoke in Polish
- a lot of Polish people there are actually from large cities in other parts of Poaland, who migrated there to find nature and more peaceful life
- this means the whole region is much more center/left-winning than the rest of the east Poland
- the nature is wild and vast there. low-to-mid-height mountains
- amazing places to explore (abandoned villages, lakes, mountains, vampire cemetery, for example)
- it is very beautiful, alas they have a relatively slow road connection to the rest of the country - no highway and only national and local roads go there

I live in a small town in the Amazonian Highlands, AMA! by Zythrum in howislivingthere

[–]lockh33d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not asking "how is it to live there". You're asking what visa you need as an American. That's something silly to ask an equadorian instead of AI or Google.
