not too sure on where id like to work probably warsaw although alot of people seem to suggest krakow as nother good place. theres a company in australia called "teach international" im considering going through at the end of year who offer the certIV in tesol with guranteed job, id like to do the celta which cost approx the same from a well known university (curtin) but working full time atm until my current i.t contract runs out (9 months) its almost impossible to take the required 4 weeks off to do the course as its full time hours (9-5pm). this is going to be my first "foray" into teaching which id like to use to travel through europe and hopefully study another few languages (i speak broken italian) already) if all turns out well id also like to do a bachelors in languages or history so im hoping on embarking on a better career!

thanks for the speedy replies guys

Life / TP - Telekomunikacja Polska SA (phone/Internet company in Poland) [19]

I applied for a landline over a year ago, I do not really need it but I knew it would take forever.

Now the post man drops 50 Zlotys a month for compensation payment to me from the telephone company.

After one year it is the law they must compensate you.

I am glad I do not need the landline, just lucky I guess.

jeez thats good! in australia you wouldnt get that service :) telstra our national provider is pretty crap

luckily for me i'm always in ASTER's service range.... i love the 10mbps/1mbps they provide.. only for 83.5Zl/month and i only experienced one small slow down last summer when i was in Krakow. it kept download at 1.2MB/S(max speed) but what was nicer is that last year i subscribed to their 2months Triple-play deal... and only had to pay like 23.5Zl/Month and (well i forgot how many TV channels) for only 10zl/month!.. before i left back to Lebanon. i simply canceled the deal :P

this year im gonna try to see if i get that 30Mbps/2mbps connection from UPC.. if not... i'll stick with ASTER ^^

cant wait for that sorta speed! internet in oz is sloowwww unless u got $$$ for the bigger plans, only prob here is we have slow copper lines i hope oue government goes ahead with fibre to all homes
