Life / Poznan. The most hated city in Poland? [21]

i was born in poznań and i live here (plus im the local guide;) so my local patriotism seems to be obvious;)
i agree poznan is not to fall in love from the first glance,however if u know what to see and where to go, if u try a bit harder and find the way to get to know it better - well, then it's fantastic...

it's not very well advertised, that's the other thing...

its not snoby (my opinion:) but yes, its the same in every country, this kind of "competition"...
beggars - not many really,comparing to warszawa and krakow
looking german - of course, but only certain places,esp. those being made to look german:)

come and see it! ;)

there is one club that u should actually know from your country - belongs to Nautilus. I've heard they have good offer and reasonable prices (comparing to expensive one called Niku) sth like 100 - 350PLN /month depending on what u want. possible student discounts too, I supposse...

but there must be smaller clubs too, maybe cheaper. thats all i know for now;)

well, if u meant squash... there would be a problem:(
Poznań is one of few cities in Poland where we have places to play squash but they are not in a good state:( I've found there is one place being built now,but still don't know exactly where.

the other existing ones are fully booked...the prices are from 20 PLN - 40 PLN per hour,depending where and what time...

Real Estate / Looking for apartment in Poznan. What are their prices? [6]

Hi Kostas,
if u read in Polish a bit check gumtree Poznań, there are always lots af ads about flats for rent.
If not, I could possibly help u (I've just helped my cousin to find a flat via gumtree, so I'm updated more or less;) but what I need is more specific wishes about how it should look like, etc.

It is also important if u plan to rent it alone or not, as the 1 room flats cost a lot comparing to 2 rooms' ones (if shared with someone it's even cheaper).

The prices differ - up to standard and location. Do u have any preferable location?
For 1 room flat it can be 1200 PLN as well as 2000 PLN...
For 2 rooms flat lets say, approx. 1400 PLN...
But u may find a single room in a shared flat for 400 PLN.
Let me know if u need any help, I live in Poznań and it's not a big problem:)
U can also use my mail:etnoaska@yahoo.de
good luck!:)

Love / From a Turkish Man! What I heard about Polish girls from my friends :) [53]

oh...always when i read such threads i realise how pointless are all discussions like that and how egoistic and "self-oriented" we are..everyone just talks from his/her own perspective and with a specific "life luggage", including education and cultural backgrounds and because of that such topics are never-ending stories and poeple just repeat themselves with the same stereotypes...im not saying im out of it:) my thinking is full of national character features and generalisations. the solution is just try to jump into a "stranger's" head. utopia? yea, sure:) but worth trying. and one thing always work - listening to the others,even if they have not much to say...

well, its late and i read too much these days;P
