UK, Ireland / Its strange that there arent many Poles who live in the UK on this Forum [102]

back then all i wanted was to get away from them. i still worked with them for a while and they brought me some bill for broadband (which i obviously haven't used) but since i did say i will share the bills i brought my share - 20 quid in pennies ;D. they didn't like that.

hahaha no im sure they didnt...lol

After 50 years of commie land when Russkies made as happy with their lingo Poles still dont know to much foreign langages. These who knows are long time ago working or living in UK, France, Germany, Spain or Italy. When circumstances force them to adjusting they speak foreign languages, you have a prime example in Krakow when cheap flights with drunkards or stagparty people fulled with some extra cash to spend on booze make Poles very quick with understanding them.

yeah i think Lodz is one of the worst places u wanna be speaking english in...and this is due to a lack of tourists...i dunno why tho...i think we have the best clubs in lodz and its a unique city(i like it) tourists somehow miss this place...

About speking English in Germany or France, if you try to speak their native language, they recogise your effort most of the time ( young or middle generation ) and speak you back in English :)

yeah but in my experience in poland they look at u(more like a glare) and walk off...or the really funny ones gape at u and thier jaws drop to the floor and they literally start running in the other direction...needless to say there are exceptions who do speak english and speak it well

they should be thankful i didn't take matters any further.

u damn well shud have

yeah it seemed a bit that way, at first they might've been protective towards me (i was still only 19 at the time). it was hell, going back home to that lot was like going for an exam that you've not revised for.

thank whichever god u pray to u werent living with an arab family...things wud be way more interesting then lol (no offense to arabs ofcourse) ;-p

Good point made last, other groups don't integrate much either and I know them. The Indians and Chinese really section themselves off in their own communities. Comparing them to Poles is foolish. Poles are much more sociable.

i wouldnt really know about polish habits when they immigrate but wen people live abroad hey tend to stick together...it gives them a feeling of...security??

the problem with asians(general outlook) is that they really think of themselves to be more superior than the westerners...i have never met more racist people than indians(they really are they funniest people to observe)...but one thing which really bugs me about the poles in poland is their absolute rejection of english as a language. first few days here were a nightmare. it took an hour to buy tram tickets. I mean, someone has to realise that wether u like it or not, u cant survive in this world without speaking english(atleast basics) nobody wants poles to be like shakespeare but even in warsaw very few people speak english...gotta admit tho, krakow is wayyyy better...i even met one of the beggars(they want money for piwo) speaking to me in english..i gave him 5 zloty juts because of that :-D

derek trotter:
breed as hell

watch it man...that crown belongs to the indians and chinese and not to the poles ;-)

the same came to my mind. About these Poles, most of them have no education whatsoever, work on fields, or chicken, meat factories, stick to their own, live ghettoized life, breed as hell ( all these young muumies on flight to Poland and back ), claiming every possible benefit, watch Polish sattelite tv Polsat or canal+. List can go on and on.

and its not just about the poles, its about every foreigner from the 'third world' who settles in the west. poles might do it a bit more for some unapparent reason(from what i read ofcourse i have no personal experience) but i really think the chinese take the cake on that particular issue.

they made it impossible for me to invite any friends over, and when i finally had enough and announced i'm moving out, they made it hell and my English friend who was going to help me get my stuff out was threatened that if he steps into the house they will beat up both him and me. and they meant it. i've been through a lot of crap in my life but this definitely took the biscuit.

weird...this sounds so...indian...lol...i expect people from the sub continent to do these sorta things. They move all over the world(and breed i mean look at the population ;-D ) and never mix with the communkities in which they live, never learn the language(atleast they try and avoid it as much as possible) and and always hate the the culture and point out how superior theirs is. They prohibit their kids from playing with local kids and ******* amazing really..i grew up in sydney and after a while all indian kids stopped hanging out iwth me because i had aussie freinds and thei mums told them not to play with me. never imagined poles would do the same...funny actually.

i have a feeling that this happens when they get a feeling of inferiority which leads to them behaving this way.

Travel / Surprising that there's no snow here in Poland and its mid December.. [9]

the funny thing is that most non Europeans (including me) think that Poland is more or less frozen after november...it snowed in october for a couple days but that is about it. im still waiting for it to snow. its not even that cold. delhi is bloody cold in december and i lived in sydney for 3 years and in may june it was freezing.so where is all the snow????

i dont want to have a Christmas with no snow...its boring...anybody has any idea as to when it'll start?/?

Law / D-type visa (long stay) in Poland - I cannot leave Poland? [10]

My freinds from my university are planning to go on a trip to prague during christmas. i have D-type long stay(1 year) POLISH VISA and i didnt know that i couldnt leave poland when i got my visa from my embassy...so i was asking around and people are tellng me that i can apple for a temporary residence card only 45 days before expiry of my visa. that sucks because i cant go to prague then. is there some way i can get a residency card in a month or so? or can i change my visa to something like a schenegen visa(student type)?

Study / Studying in WROCLAW or KRAKOW? Which is cooler? [9]

I gotta come and study in poland in september and i have a choice between wroclaw and krakow. So i was wondering which is the better city to live in? In terms of cost of living, fun, job oppurtunities, inetrnships, clubs, pubs, the entire deal...and which in your opinion has more foreign students? Ive heard some good stuff about wroclaw, but people tell me that krakow has a better nightlife and that is VERY important to me. so some help people!!!

Work / JOBS IN Hp AND GOOGLE IN WROCLAW [17]

How much are you looking for?

Ummm 10 zl an hour sounds good enough i spose!! like a i said i need only 1/4 of my living cost! I can stay in the university housing for 313 zl a month sothat probably decreases my cost by a huge amnt. So i guess i can make do comfortably with a 1000 zl a month.

What say?
