Life / How much will I pay for a dedicated Server in Poland? Web hosts. [10]

Merged: Looking for Polish Web Hosts

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a Polish web host that can host my website. I prefer it to be a Polish host as I make Polish złoty teaching English. However, every Polish host that I find does not have English translations. My Polish isn't good enough to understand everything on the sites, does anyone know of a Polish host that has English translation?

Thanks,

Steve

Life / Questions about Lublin [39]

Thanks everyone about the information. I think the hardest part is going to be changing jobs from where I'm at. I am well aware that many schools close in June so it is in my best interest to find work before this happens.

There are many fly-by-night teachers nowadays who go there for six months and then leave and they drive the price down because being a native English teacher is not so exclusive nowadays.

I know what you mean. We have the same thing going on here. Many native speakers seem to come and go with the wind. But I have this sneaking fear that slowly it will be harder and harder to have good work as an English teacher in Poland. On the other hand I think that it will be quite some time before it is impossible. I also, believe that so as long as you are a good certified teacher with experience there will always be something. I have come to realize that even if people have a really good understanding of the language if they don't practice it on a day to day basis people tend to forget a lot. So until Poland's official language is changed to English (which I don't see happening any time soon) there should always be some work. What does everyone else think?

Thanks again for the help.

Life / Questions about Lublin [39]

Hello everyone,

My girlfriend and I might by making a move to Lublin and I was wondering some things about it.

How is the mass transportation?
Are there a lot of bike paths?
Is it difficult to find work as an English teacher?
What are the best schools to work at and what is the average price per teaching hour to charge?
What are the people like?
What is the night life like?
How is the arts culture there?
Are there many foreigners living there?
What is the overall pace of the city? Do the people seem like they are in a rush all the time or more laid back?

Are there any good horse stables in our near the city?

If you can answer any of these questions I would be really glad. I think (other than seeing for yourself) is asking others about something.
