Law / I have land in Lublin, but don't know what to do with it... [11]

There is talk of an airport being built quite close,

They're talking about that at least for 5 years or even more... :) We will see, I wish Lublin all the best of course and I hope that things will get better here soon.

But if people make that low, how do they pay rent and live.

Most of people take credits for 15-25 years to buy a flat and costs of living aren't so high here...

Law / I have land in Lublin, but don't know what to do with it... [11]

Can somebody tell me if it will be a good business?

I'm not sure... people rather leave Lublin and go to cities like Warsaw, Cracov or just abroad... also keep in mind that this area is one of the poorest in Poland.

News / Father Rydzyk: Any comments? [28]

Doe anyone have any comment on this situation?

Yeah, Rydzyk should be arrested, then send to africa or somewhere to help poor children, his radio/tv/gazette/school should be closed. Ok, now let's back to reality... nothing mentioned above will never happen - this guy is so powerful that he can do anything he likes. It's a big shame to Poland, but what can we do?

Language / what is the difference between prosze and poprosze? [39]

technically speaking, czy ja moge cos poprosic is not a present tense.

your sentence in the future tense:

Czy ja będę mógł coś poprosić?

and if I'm asking 'czy ja mogę coś poprosić' that is going on now (I'm asking now) and it's the present tense.

Language / what is the difference between prosze and poprosze? [39]

You said that poprosze is about future:

same with prosze I am requesting something now and poprosze I will request-this is the future perfective case

and that's not quite right, because sometimes 'poprosze' is used in present tense.

but prosze and poprosze could have the same meaning, for example in a shop when we are asking for some products:

Prosze/Poprosze chleb, ser i wode mineralna.

Law / Staffing agency in Wroclaw [6]

we could pay a site in diferent langouges and stay in Holland but will that give us the right start ? I don't think so.

I don't think so either... well, Warsaw is bigger than Wroclaw, but I'm affraid that setting up business there is a bit more expensive. I mean renting office, higher salaries for workers and so on. You should also consider running agency in smaller cities, because in big ones is much easier to find a job...

Life / Where to live in Wroclaw? [30]

But, the cost of rentals is really high. At least the places I went to see,

Well, first of all real estate agencies want to make money on you... then you can be sure, that some of these appartments are owned by foreigners who also want make money on you ;) Simple advice..... try to find some appartment owned by Polish people who just went abroad for a couple of years or sth like that and they want to rent it. I know... easy to say :> Maybe make an offer to someone from Wroclaw who will be looking appartment for you on some condisions....

Life / Polish sim cards work in my phone/s [16]

buy one here before I leave or buy it there?

probably in the USA cells are a bit cheaper...

Also, which should I buy?

lol, nokia n95 at least.. or maybe the newest nokia from E series...... just joking;) take a look at some comparisons on the net and choose one you like. Pay attention only that phone must support GSM 900/1800 + as an option UMTS 2100

Life / Polish sim cards work in my phone/s [16]

But I'm sure that unlocking in Poland is cheaper than... somewhere else. £4? Wow

I suppose it might be even 10-20£ depending on phone... £4 it is rather for older phones or models where you just need to generate special unlocking code...

Life / Internet Speeds in Poland [18]

I did some researching on the ISP's in the Warsaw area, and some of them offer up to 15 mb/s

Are you talking about neostrada ? Yes, in fact TPSA offers 15 Mbit/s, but you have to be near to their telephone exchange and your line parameters have to be good if you want to get what you paid for....

Work / IT job market for none Polish speaker; planning to stay in Poland for 1 year. [13]

How's the IT job market in poland (warsaw)?

quite good (while comparing to other Polish towns/cities)

2. Do i need to speak polish to work there?

it depends on your profession, but English speakers can try to find job mainly in international companies

3. How much can i expect if i work as an IT support or maybe helpdeks?

Oh... how can you work as helpdesk or IT support while you don't speak Polish? I don't know, maybe there are some companies which need support for their international customers, but ... well, good luck, maybe you manage to find one :) What about money, it depends on company profile, but generally I would say that salary is somewhere between 2000 - 4000 PLN

UK, Ireland / The British workers denied jobs because they can't speak Polish [45]

Would you be happy if this happened in Poland.

well, it happens all the time - take a look at jobs ads, often communicative English is a must :-) but it's a bit different, because English is international language :]
