Do I Need A Gurdle For Football

few days ago I met at lunch, with a Polish colleague who already knew of a course for improvement. During the two-day course at the end of 2010, he and I exchanged a few words as part of the exercises that the teacher gave us. In the round of presentation at the beginning of I knew it was a Pole living in Germany. I guess concluded something similar when I had to introduce to me, of Cuban origin living in Germany. For

wherever he went ... at lunch the other day, we were greeted warmly and the first questions, the first his and the first mine (in German not purely Teutonic) were:

- What, how are you all right? "He began.

- Okay, thanks, how are you doing to you? I replied and asked.

was he who made the first, second question:

- And Castro still alive?

My answer: a grimace.

His third Question:

- What about your brother? Do not want to drop a line, eh?

My response: another grimace and a smile.

- It's a shame ... He went on. A pity that the country has not lifted and continue to suffer from the dictatorship that has it.

- If anyone understands us very well, are you the Poles ...

My colleague nodded.

- Yes, it cost us, but we did. It depends a lot of fear and when people have decided that this fear is worse than doing nothing. Another

my face, nodding at a time ...

- How are you doing now, what about the country spent all this time? I asked after swallowing.

- A large proportion of the population, especially the young, emigrated. Like me, "he said. I came to Germany, I have my business here and there also I have an office that I run from here. I'm doing very well.

- And can return without problems and have business there while living here? "I knew the answer, but still I asked.

- Sure! Freeing the economy came first. And let the people decide their future, wherever it wanted and how it seemed, was the second. There are many Poles living in England, for example. Almost all who have emigrated have prospered and many have returned to Poland to invest. And they have succeeded. That's what the country needed. The Poles are the ones who know Poland, is not it?

while I chewed him right to the head.

He finished lunch before me and had to leave to look after a review that began in five minutes. And standing, he said,

- The Castros do not realize they are already old and that the world is moving while they are back. I wish you luck. They do not have much time for life ... Another

my face before finally saying goodbye.

I was rewinding the Polish-Cuban dialogue today, to tell me not to forget here in my blog ...
