Life / Who has moved to Poland in the last year? Swap stories. [115]

Hi There
I am also Irish and have been living in Krakow for 6mths now, I have done a lot of travelling over the years and lived outside for about ten altogether in various countries, so its not knew to me not living in Ireland. I will be going back to Ireland in the summer and honestly I am seriously looking forward to it. I have a lot of Polish friends in Ireland some for at least 3 years so I was fairly familiar with culture etc also I had visited 4 times in in the last few years. There will be a lot of general things that you will miss however what I miss most is the humour and just the banter. There is a very drepressing feeling in the air here which is probably understandable considering the history. Yes the city is stunning and a lot of the people are very helpful and friendly but I have also found an element of bitterness and sheer rudeness. I think the prices of holidaying here were a big draw for people previously however as it gets more expensive they will have to improve the abrupt manner that a lot of people in the restaurants, cafes etc have. You should really visit a couple ot times first and depending on where you are located will also factor!

Good Luck in your decision....Like everywhere Bring your own sausages, rashers, butter, bread and .........tayto!
