Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]

Hi All

Its good so see so many Indians active on this forum.Great going.
I'll be coming to Warsaw for Procter and Gamble in May 08.
I would definitely need all your advices about living in Warsaw and would definitely like to meet you guys as well.
First problem is accomodation.I am looking for a fully furnished(Internet,stove,set kitchen , washing machines etc) apartment for myself.
1) How much will it cost?
2) Is it easily available near the centre of Warsaw(as my office is near the centre)
If this is not the right forum to answer such question, please guide me to another one.

Thanks a lot
Hemendra

Hey, Welcome in poland.

I know how should ?I welcome you in Poland. After all I am from india. Currently we r in Wroclaw. And we will move on 2 May 08. So we can not meet u. But I may share my experience in poland.

1] Compare to India food prizes are very high here in Poland.
2] On an avarage a person needs 25 to 30 ZL Per day if you take break fast, luncha and dinner. (Again it depends on the type of restaurant

3] If you r alone, then be sure that u will not talk to any drunk person.
4] People with out alcoholic effect r very helpful here in wroclaw.
5] Try to learn some common polish words from the online sites. Only few people speak enhlish here.
6] if u r vegeterian, then u r down like us. Come prepare and bring some MTR food packets. Try to remmeber polish words for different kind of meat.

7] Polish people drink less water compare to indians. Do remmeber that u need to buy water here.
8] Very important. . Communication from poland is very costly compared to India and US. We brought airtel world calling cards. But then u need tp communication cards here. Best way is to activate yahoo voice account. Its very cheap. 4 Rs / min india. But u need internet connection for it.

9] Some common polish dishes that will help,.. Plaski (pan cackes), peirogi (Something like modak), nelesniki (swwet), Gyros(turkey restaurants).

Hope this will be helpful..... Take some euros with u. I have never seen anyone transacting in euros here in Poland.
