Life / When in Poland, should I be British or Scottish? [104]

Dazza:
It's more like we don't really care - in our opinion there are two countries on british isles: Ireland and England. I wouldn't recognize Welsh even if he would kicked me in the a* ;)

to be honest I wouldnt recognize Scot as well (maybe proper one in kilt(?)).

Love / What's God's answer TO my gf, after cheating on me after 4 years? [65]

I don't like talking about God and his answers... too many crazy people out there... some people here voices... especially when using the phone...

blah blah blah
she cheated on you ? that's her problem, dump her and find another, better one. simple, practical solution.

ArcticPaul:
yes, it may be the homesickness. I haven't been there for a year. We will see in september.
I think another problem may be that I am current working from home - God I hate it. I cannot focus on anything, I cannot finish anything, I cannot even start.

You know - one fag, second fag, tea, something goes on outside (so it's worth checking), another fag, 30 minutes of work...
terrible!

Well, that was good: "stuck here". It describes my feelings pretty good... don't get me wrong - I like London (well, maybe it's not BIG LOVE but...). I am pretty sure I would miss doubledeckers, tube and kebabs on every corner ;) But this city sucks all my energy out, maybe it's time to slow down a bit?

Love / Attending a Polish wedding on my own (I'm English) [25]

If I were you I would tell your friend about your concerns - ask them how many young people will be there. generally young ones speak english - better or worse.

Good idea would be to go there few days before the wedding - to get used a bit to the situation (but you should consider hotel or something - your friends won't have time to take care about you ;) )

please remember that you won't be the only one who feels awkward because of not knowing the language - most wedding guests dont speak english so they are gonna feel a bit awkward too. sooner you break the ice the better. ;)

generally after few vodkas you will talk with most people using strange mixture of polish, english, russian and german + spanish ;) have fun!

Hello everyone.
I write from London, I've been here for two years... No problems, job good enough, not lonely. But for few weeks I feel really bad - if I would loose my job I think I would be quite happy coz I would have opportunity to go back to Poland. It's quite hard to explain, I came here to save money and I would never be able to save as much as here in pl, but... I've noticed a lot of foreign people who do the opposite thing I did - they are moving out of UK. Many posts about stronger polish economy etc. So I feel that I am loosing something - chances, time with family, life generally. I think many polish emigrants will come back soon and job market will be crowded again.

What do you think?

btw: I am from "big" city - Gdynia.
Regards

Study / how much does a polish citizen pay to go to school in poland? [10]

First of all: hello everyone!
My first post here ;)

You can study in poland as a full time student - then you don't have to pay anything. Every half year you have two opportunities to pass the exams: first session, and then if you fail is secondary session. both free. If you fail both, then come the troubles: you may get fired(?) or you may have to pay for extra exam (if you are on 2nd+ year, on first year they just kick you out).

Additional costs are: books (if you don't like to go to library), accomodation, food.
You don't really have to buy books - your notes should be enough in most cases.

If you are good student with high grades you can get some small amount of money as reward every month- depends on the uni.

If you study as part-time student, you have to pay about 2500+ zl per semester. But if you are good, they can cut down your payment - to half or sth like this.
