Travel / How much $$$ to bring with me to Poland for a 10-14 day trip? [27]

Sorry not familiar with that term.

I will be in the Zielona Gora area. Most of the time I will be staying with them. I will, however, also be interviewing for teaching positions. We might go to Gdansk to visit her apartment. Probably do some other sight seeing. I will probably fly into Berlin because its cheaper.

I am open to suggestions?

News / What do Polish friends think of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? [226]

No I will not be an illegal. I am not an atheist or a homo.

Actually I am both Polish and Catholic.

I think most people here are as unhappy with what is going on as people around the world. I don't want the US to be the big stick in the world.

That might be true. I live in Detroit, the hardest hit area in the US as far as economy. I have never heard any ideas what so ever from Bush. The Senate might do more in that area but the president also has some influence in that area. Bush will go down as one of the worst presidents ever.

Travel / Your favourite Polish region/city, etc [32]

I have not been to Poland yet.

However, my vote goes for Zielona Gora. That is where my girl friend is.

Does anybody know that Głogow is like?

Life / SIM cards in Poland [21]

I know sprint roaming in Europe is supposed to be between $1.50 and $2.00 per min. The nice thing with many of the native SIM cards is free incoming calls. This will be important to me to hear from perspective employers. I only have my GF that I would be calling and I hope to be with her most of my vacation.

When I did a net search I found that each SIM provider is nominally differernt. There was one that was a bit more but you kept the same phone number while others can expire if not used.

Life / SIM cards in Poland [21]

Hello

I am looking for a SIM card so I can use my phone in Poland. Is there anyone that you folks recommends? I have a Sprint Blackberry 8830 World Phone. I don't want to use the sprint service when I am there because it is expensive as hell.

Law / Do I have Polish citizenship? [12]

Can I put in for Polish citizenship? All of my great grandparents came from Poland. The hard part will be getting the proof.

Life / Polish attitudes towards drinking alcohol [72]

I disagree about the beer comment Dublinjohn.

I made my own beer from scratch for over 10 years. There are many here that would never touch a Bud. We lost our brewing tradition during prohibition. I would put our micro-brews up against any beer in the world. I don't drink any longer but when I did I could keep up with the best of them.

Love / CONFUSING FRIENDSHIP? She doesn't want to go to Poland now. [30]

Maybe he doesn't know what he feels. The last thing I would do is go there and blow a fuse. I know my girlfriend is deathly afraid of long distance relations. Men and women deal much differently with feelings. I would say he likes her.

Women, who understands them at all!!!!!!!
