Work / Job Opportunity for Non Polish speakers in Warsaw [27]


(Sighs)! I'm sorry but I think it is you who doesn't get it. You've posted utter rubbish on this thread so far (in amongst your various rants and profanities).


You clearly have no idea how modern business works - this is called offshoring and the practice has been around for years now. Modern technology means that it is now possible for people to work remotely from anywhere in the world. Cost is quite obviously a factor in companies offshoring, but anyone who isn't already aware of this must have been living on the Moon for the last 5 years. Quite simply, employing resource in Poland is a cheaper option than employing in the UK and like most organisations in the current climate, we are are trying to best manage our expenditure right now.

So back to the point of the thread, anyone who is interested - please feel free to get in touch.

In that case why bother yourself with this post.

Go into any high street agency in the UK and you will often find they advertise for German, French, Spanish etc, etc speakers for a whole multitude of jobs. This is the same principle.

No we have real milk and not UHT. And because it comes from our fine British cows, we also have damn good beef too.

Life / Poles that have lived or live abroad are they different? [68]

The few Polish people I have met that have enjoyed time abroad do certainly seem to be more accepting and accomodating when it comes to new things.

Life / Scientology in Poland [24]


Thanks PolskaDoll, think this is the one :)


Talking of John Travolta, see link. His son who recently passed away was suspected of having autism but scientology doesn't even recognise this as a condition. How fcuked up is this religion!

What does your visa say? I would have thought a tourist visa wouldn't permit this.

Too true. What amazes me is the fact that they charge for membership (or access to higher levels of information) and they consider themselves a religion!

Life / POLISH MOBILE NUMBERS-WHICH NETWORK [13]


No, each offers a non contract package/s or pay as you go schemes. Each provider has different benefits. I.E. certain number of free SMS's, cheap calls abroad, free calls to certain numbers etc. You will just need to see which is best for you.

You will be able to go into most mobile phone shops and buy a pre-paid SIM card for your chosen network.

Visit the websites of T-Mobile, Orange, Vodafone and O2. All of them will have details of their available packages/benefits.

Travel / Reaching Warsaw airport from Warsaw Central Train Station? WIFI? [20]

I know Frankfurt is a main hub for many non European arrivals and departures so you might be able to fly into there and then get a connecting flight to Warsaw.

Life / Getting married in Polska - some advice required about mixing traditions [27]

I was watching a mates wedding video the other day. He is Australian and his wife is Polish. They married a few months ago in Krakow. I didn't watch all of the video but it seemed like they found a good balance between the two traditions. For example, they did do speeches and a close Polish friend of theirs helped with the translation - these were well received and seemed to go down very well with everyone. Also, they didn't just offer vodka on the table but also provided wine. They used popular songs which despite being mostly in English were known by all. At the same time, they also had some more traditional Polish music to keep it varied.

I think the girlfriend and I when we get hitched, would do something similar. For example, I know my girlfriend likes the idea of her father walking her down the isle and not seeing each other the night before the wedding etc which I understand isn't commonly done in Poland.

So I think with the right planning, mixing the traditions can make for a really great and unique wedding experience.

My girlfriend has started suffering with allergies just this summer in Krakow. Had never been a problem for her before.

Travel / Polish Zoos and their animals [27]

Is there such a thing as an animal/safari park in Poland rather than a zoo? I always think these make for better surroundings for the animals.

Law / Restaurant/Motel 60 KMS outside of Warsaw - Good or Bad Idea? [5]


If you're only 60km out of Warsaw then what is the likelyhood of someone stopping? Surely if you are that close to Warsaw, you would carry on driving into the city! Similarly, if you had not long left the city would you really want to stop after such a short drive?

However, I can also see the benefits. Some people may not want to eat/sleep in Warsaw and this may be more suitable for them. Having somewhere out of the city with less hustle and bustle might be more appealing.

I've seen I few hotels, motels, restaurants like this on the outskirts and around some other cities so I guess the concept works. I would advise making contact with some other places around the country in similar locations to see if they would be prepared to share some information with you.

Law / Polish emergency passport [12]


I was about to say the same. I find it hard to believe that this is true. Forgive my ignorance, but don't you need a passport to get a visa? And sorry, but isn't giving a Polish visa to a Polish person a bit of a nonsense! Just give the damn emergency passport.

Law / Restaurant/Motel 60 KMS outside of Warsaw - Good or Bad Idea? [5]

I don't know the roads but I'm guessing they are main routes in and out of Warsaw? Also what sort of market/audience are you aiming at?

News / ARS cinema in Krakow [9]


As far as cinematic experiences go, ARS is not the best but it has a certain charm. I like the fact the projection equipment is a bit dated & cranky and you sit on Ikea chairs. It's different and I liked it.

Yeah thanks Groovyg. Is a great cinema. Have fun Nika. Let us know your thoughts on the cinema.

I can't role my R's at all. I'm only just starting to learn polish but I don't think you have anything to worry about.

How the hell do you roll your R's?
