Life / Driving in Poland, Zebra crossings in stupid places? [26]

what i didnt understand in poland is crazy amounts of zebra crossings, also when i was in Poznan (although im sure it the same in other places, i just didnt notice!) when you have a crossing on a busy road, the traffic is allowd to filter right even though the crossing is green!, which was verryyyy confussing!!!, i think im to scared to drive in poland!

Real Estate / Advice about rent settlement with landlord???? [6]

Well i can only give you some advie from over here in england, if your renting a student property it is normaly standard to get 3 months at half price.

Also wit6h regards to a long term contract.. do not forget things change and maybe in a year you want to move out, but can't due to contract.

i signed a 2 year contract on a property and when me and my partner split i moved out and got a massive bill!.....
if you find a cool landlord the best you can do is ask him/her!

Travel / Airfare from Frankfurt to Gdansk in August [6]

Well if you really need to save money i would:

Fly on Wizz Air to Katowice then get the train (which takes 10hours) but only costs £20 to Gdansk

Maybe you can get all this to work for you.....

wizzair.com for flight
rozklad-pkp.pl/?q=en/node/143 for trains in Poland.

Hope you find something :)

UK, Ireland / Migrant workers face rental block [59]

To be honest I know this part of the UK quite well as one of my parents come from there and have an uncle who has a very successful business there (who employs loads of Polish people)... the locals are not very accepting to foreigners and never have been!!

I always think of this area as a family in-breading area of the UK, even me as a british citizen is saddened by this article....

Boil in a pan
Turn the gas down to low
Add sprit and ignite put lid on straight away
Leave on low heat for 1 min (Keep and eye on it so you do not burn your house down!)

Law / It is impossible to get temporary residency in Poland [23]

For me: (living in Wroclaw county)

Temperary registration at town hall were you live.. maybe you can get your girlfriends dad to register you at his flat/house.
Once compleated you go to county hall to compleate your 5 year stay..
i needed:

1 copy of my passport
1 copy of my NHS card
1 hand written letter from my fiancee saying while im in poland she will supply cash if i need it.
1zł.... yes 1
They gave me a 4 page form in english and polish but you fill it out in polish.

1 month and i have a blue peice of paper with a stamp on it!
then we went back to town hall and they supplyed me with PESL number... (well after a week's wait)

Take your girlfriend wth you while you need to sort this out... it will be much easier and save you lots of time waiting for the only person in town hall who speaks english to come and try explain!

Food / Where to find Pear Cider in Kraków [3]

Well
Perry is a special pear which grows in UK which is made into Perry (not cider), the problem being it only grows in Glostershire and is hard to grown anywhere else so they cannot make enough Perry to supply out of the UK, to buy real Perry is quite a task in the UK although possible.

Pear cider is cider which is made from any pear and quite often blended with apples to bulk it up.. which is the case for Kopperberg, Pear Bulmers etc..

As for buying in in Poland... it is hard to evan get normal cider, i have never managed to find the pear variety, although i believe you can buy the alcohol free Kopperberg from Ikea so possibly you can the the alcohol variety!

Sorry i cannot be of more help

Life / Could I live on 2000zl in Poland? [30]

Depends which city you want to live in.. its perfectly possible in a smaller town.. were i live we have a bed flat plus all bills for approx 1000zl but in a city i would think it would be 1500zl + so no it wouldnt be possible..

IF you really want to come to Poland in that money you would have to live out of city... may i ask what it is you would be doing and were??

Food / Chocolate flavored vodka [11]

but maybe with the right recipe I will do so.

To be honest it really isnt that hard to make..

Buy vodka and your prefured chocolate

Boil some hot water in a pan on the cooker, with a glass bowl on the top... (a tipical way to melt chocolate)

Melt your chocolate in the glass bowl (While still on the pan)

Add vodka but dont get the mixture to hot or you will boil off the alcohol

Keep mixing it in untill the chocolate and vodka mix togther properly (May take some time if your useing mars bars!)

Bottle up and stick in the freezer..

Dont do what i did and use 96% sprit.. i let it get to hot and nearly burned the flat down lol

I did read you can just stuff mars bars in a bottle of vodka and leave it for a while but im not sure about it

Hope that helps :)
