Life / Who's thinking of moving to Poland? [67]

For me its a,b,c,d,e & f!!!
I will be moving to Gdansk soon, but first i have to make sure I have some type of work to go to.I am worried about the change in pay to be honest too.I cant help converting zloty into pounds, but i suppose the wages reflect the cost of living in Poland itself.

UK, Ireland / Poles in the UK sleeping in toilets [165]

What about Brits moving abroad to other countries for work?I know a few that live in toilets too in Poland, are you one of them?Get out of Poland if thats how you feel about the Poles, & have some respect for them!They have let you into thier country and we Brits should do the same, we are free to go and work in most other countries.

Life / Poland's youth & their way of living [16]

With so many Poles living in England i am wondering if when they return to Poland will they take with them the British way of life, & will Poland become as ruined as Britain has become?

I am not against any Pole by the way, i love Poland & will be living there soon, i ask this question because i dont want Poland to be like England in the future, such as young girls pregnant, binge drinking, friday-saturday nights out EVERY weekend ETC.

I really hope that Poland stays the way it is with its culture & people, to much freedom can ruin a country.

Language / Learnign Polish...any tips!? [33]

Download "before you know it"
its a free basic learning package of Polish, plus other languages, its really good for the basics of Polish.
If you have any Polish friends then try to intergrate with them as often as you can and only speak Polish, i have learnt my Polish not from books, but from being around Polish friends & actually visiting Poland a few times every year for the past 10 years!

Good luck :)

Travel / Finally going to Poland. After 17 years. [9]

So many changes have occured since i have been visiting Poland for the last 10 years!
The roads are slowly being re-surfaced, cities are looking like more & more companies are investing, new shopping centres-EVERYWHERE!, the whole country especially after joining the E.U have benefited so much, all good stuff i think :)

Travel / Visiting Gdansk in July [9]

Has anybody ever been to the Heineken Festival in Trój Miasto?Is it worth a visit, i like all types of music.
Plus does anyone know if there are go-carts around Trój Miasto?Ive been to the quads in Sopot before & it was excellent, Aqua Park in Sopot is cool too!

Does anyone have any ideas of a fun packed visit for me?I enjoy adrenaline sports & just love to have lots of fun. Thanks.

Language / How Many of you love the Polish Language? [79]

Advanced courses do exist, but only if you go to Poland itself (from experience) There is an excellent school in Sopot that teaches Polish as a foriegn language to English speaking people.(its expensive but well worth it)

Life / How will I be treated in Poland by Polish people? I'm an English person. [26]

I am planning to move to Poland with my Polish wife in the near future, as an English person, i am quite patriotic towards Poland, maybe because i see it as my home now & i have visited so many times, i just feel as it should be my place to live.

I love everything about it, the countryside, most of the people, the language & cities.
I always try to speak Polish when i am there, i want to learn about its history, people, culture etc, i have quite a lot of Polish friends who live in Poland (mostly around Trój Miasto area), anyway, what i want to know is after you read all this how do you think i will be treated as a foriegner with a Polish wife living in Poland?

Do remember that visits, even long visits, are not the same as actually settling down there so you may want to prepare yourself more for the shock of relocating without worrying too much what other people will think of you. If you already know other people there, it will help (and of course, you don't need to make an impression on them). Good luck :)

I have a friend that relocated to Gdańsk a few years ago, but he is a traditional Brit who loved the night life & drinking in his local pub most nights, so for him that is what he misses the most but i am the opposite, the things he tells me he misses mean nothing to me, but i have prepared myself for the big move, my only concern is the language, although my Polish is not too bad its still far from perfect.

I think it depends also on where you're planning on settling down

In Gdańsk.

don't play the 'I love Poland' card too much, it starts to bug folks

I will remember that.

Travel / The Tri City: I can see why you live here [17]

This summer will be about my 40th time to Trój Miasto, Aqua Park is brilliant, the wild river is cool, you turn into a big kid again!!!

The best beaches are probablly Zaspa & Sopot.
