Love / IS IT FRIENDS OR SOMETHING ELSE [13]


I'd wait and see what happens over the next month or so before I started making long term plans.
As usual on these matters I'm sceptical. But of course I hope everything works out the best for you.

Work / Job opportunities in Poland for a foreigner? (other than a teacher) [175]


Make sure that you have: English Grammar in Use. It's the most popular grammar book. Check it out online.

Bring some test books from the UK. Even books graded for 14 yr olds will have a good level of vocabulary for 18 yr old students here in Poland.

Most people are happy to learn from photocopies, which should work out cheap for you.

Life / Polish movie/directors [23]

Yes. I very important and popular movie when it was released. Nowadays one thinks of it as just another movie.

Work / Im thinking about moving to Poland and need advice on teaching english [18]

sapphire,

Teaching is the bottom of the ladder and a backward step for many people. You have to find a way to use the, advanced, skills you have. Spend some time looking for international companies in the town or city you want to move to. Then tell them or their head office how you would be useful.

Make use of your partner's contacts.

The best teaching job would be within a multi-national.......teaching members of staff. Two or three hours of such work would give you an ordinary, Polish, day's pay.

This is probably the safest way too. It means that you only carry the cash you need when you need it.

Life / Media Markt in Wroclaw - returning merchandise [8]

afc1903,

There should be a customer service point and at least one member off staff will speak English. They will want all the relevant documents and packaging that came with the item/s.

They might check the item at the counter and correct the problem, send it away to be repaired or exchange it.

Life / Why do poles drink & drive? [82]


Not so. Most deaths on Polish roads are in fact pedestrians. 75%. That's why we have new roads around villages and new and better crossing points.

Also, I don't see how you can blame a tree at the side of the road for causing an accident.

Feedback / My Thoughts on this Forum and Moderators [71]

As I've been here longer than all the above. I'd just like to say that the forum is doing just fine.

It will soon become a prime source for people who wish to learn about Polish History, Polish Genealogy, Polish Food, Translations, Buying Property in Poland and more.

All the new people are just as friendly as those from the early days.

And If I were a moderator I'd be a lot tougher than the ones we have now. Which means that they show a sense of fairness, I can only commend them for.

History / Polish resettlement camps in Britain 1945 [82]

Polish Resettlement Camps in the UK, 1946 to 2011

I'm not even half way through it yet, but so far this site has been absolutely excellent at giving the personal side to the dry facts and figures which many of us already knew:

Highly recommended.

It does seem that the author doesn't have a lot of time for certain elements of today's Britain:

UK, Ireland / Stop the Polish from entering the UK (yet another thread) [192]


For what ?

The universities here are producing good graduates. Give them the money and they'll stay.

Building workers: So far as I can see there is no real problem here. Buildings are shooting up all over the place.

Life / Wroclaw Tips about food, Wi-Fi, and watching sport [6]

1. Ready's. It's cheap. Shuts at about 10-10:30pm.
2. Anywhere near the centre. It's free I think. You just need your laptop set up for it.
3. Football, basketball. Or do you mean on the telly ? If so, the PF threads might have some answers.

Work / are there ANY young, American/British females in Poland? [15]


I would guess this to be the case.


I can't see why it would. Especially in a university city like Wroclaw. Of course once you meet a few people and go out in a group it will be easier.

This is always true in Berlin. From my experience, anyway.

UK, Ireland / Polish newspapers in the UK / advertising [6]

A lot of local papers have Polish pages.

I think there is a special edition Polish paper in Reading.

It could be Wroclaw. We did have a place like this a year or two ago.

UK, Ireland / Polish woman shot in London. [57]


Some are. Plus, there are armed response teams in many, if not all cities in the UK. An armed police officer wouldn't have prevented the recent deaths that I have read about.

Food / Golumki (Golabki) [12]


Interesting. You can do the same with a can of tomato soup or a ketchup concentrate.

Life / Begging in Poland (new scam) [9]

This is my point.

Life / Begging in Poland (new scam) [9]

In the past it was just people begging. Now it is a particular group of people using a slightly different method. It seems to be working for them because I saw plenty people handing over cash. Normally people tell these folks to fcuk off.

I think that in a student city like Wroclaw, if a student type has a problem it's more believable. And therefore some people are more likely to hand over cash.
