Work / Non Polish speaking Englishman working in Warsaw - is it a pipe dream? [9]

czesc,

I'm Polish and by boyfriend is English. I've been living and working here for four years and thinking about moving back to Warsaw. My bf isn't that keen on the idea due to the possible difficulty of finding a job (he's only just started to learn Polish in January) etc. How did you find the whole experience of finding a job as non Polish speakers.

Thanks for any suggestions!

He is a civil servant in HMCS. He does IT but he used to work in HR and training department in the court.

It can definitely happen. I was one of those muppets paying a lot of money to have lessons with a native speaker!! only joking, great fun and got loads from it. Professional students are in fact better. Well done you!

Travel / Is it safe to take a train in Poland? [35]

Hostel movie is nothing compared to polish reality.

I'm Polish so i can talk but i was on many trains, night ones, local ones, you name it and i've never seen anyone to be spat at, teenagers smoking weed/cigarettes, kicking off, listening to deafening music, putting their feet on the seats, etc.... what is that? oh, that's commuting to work by public transport in Manchester

What i'm saying is that i would worry about using public transport in Poland. There are times when i'm scared to use a bus in Manchester.

News / NUDE BRITISH MEN RUNNING AROUND IN WROCLAW [82]

drunk, having fun, living life. I don't see it as a big issue. They just got caught on camera and probably had a little fine to pay.

Living life? more like acting like complete plonkers. It's official, British don't really respect others especially when they go abroad.
I love visiting family and friends in Warsaw and when out in the evening not falling over half naked trollops (as they have the tendency to lie on the pavements) and not seeing macho men kicking the living daylights out of each other - normal night out in any UK city.

My English bf is always very embarassed when we bump into stag or hen do's in Warsaw.
