Real Estate / Poland Property...should I be scared [127]
Today a drivers license is enough to "have the opportunity" to leave Poland. No special "visas" are required so don't see a problem here.

I'm not a big fan of German either -- they act as if they owned the whole European Union (in fact they do since the German banks manage the finances...).

Yep, it all depends how you use the words - same with weapons: sometimes they are really useful for the whole society, but other times they just destroy everything...

Work / Cost of Living and average Pay scale of IT in Warsaw [14]
It's 1600 Euro a month, right? I think is a good salary. Yes, you can live on 500 euro a month (food + transportation -- but it depends on your actual needs and how much you like to spend...:).

Food / favorite polish recipes? [65]
There are also great Polish cakes - for example sernik and makownik. They take some time and experience to prepare them well though -- but they are YUMMY!!!.

Food / is" kaszanka" a Polish speciality? [54]
Yep, there is a HUGE difference in the quality of the produce when you buy "organic" food versus food from a store. "Organic" food tastes 10 times better. But is 2-3 times more expensive too...:(
The best place to get a Black Pudding is from a good butcher or specialist shop, NOT from the super-market, which tend to sell mass-produced stuff, which is nothing like the real thing.

Travel / During your travel to Poland what historic sites have you visited ? [30]
I was in Bialowieza as a child (in the primary school I guess). It remined me of bisons -- they are cool! (not sure if dangerous). I think there are bison reservoirs near the Baltic sea in Poland, too.
I found a picture of a bison in Bialowieza:
