I need a change of scenery
1. Me and John decided yesterday that it will be better if I don’t go to Poland for the time being. I am quite worried about the war in Ukraine, maybe not necessarily that Putin is going to attack other countries (although who knows with him? I wouldn’t count on him being logical and down…

Refugees
I found out recently that there are scammers among Ukrainians. It’s so difficult for me to imagine that. I mean, I believe there are dishonest people in every nation but somehow it feels to me like the current crisis should cancel the dishonesty out! I wonder if neurotypicals think the same way?

Some British are really complaining on Facebook that they can’t find a refugee, their messages don’t get answered and stuff. ‘I contacted 40 people and nothing’ one said. Why don’t you just move on in hope that at least the refugees have enough choices? In another post Polish lady who is helping an Ukrainian mum…
