Travel / Banolli Krakow, experiences? [2]

Hi John44,

Yes, I know the place - been there a few times, as I used to live pretty close.

I never had problems why the hygiene there actually, even though it is not the cleanest place, I agree....and they always wanted to put ketchup on my pizza (strange Polish habit).

The times I was there (late 2007/early 2008) it was clean enough, not sure what it is like now. Pizza there is not so good anyway, so I did not go back there anymore.

There are plenty of other choices in the city, should your craving for Italian food not be affected. I can recommend Volcano or Don Corleone for that.

UK, Ireland / Experiences of Irish people who moved to Poland [27]


I think this is very useful practical feedback, not only for Irish people. I am Dutch and will move for work to Krakow next week; your posts give me a good insight in working culture and general atmosphere, what to expect. etc. Thanks!

Life / Expats in Poland: Are you going to live in Poland long or short term? [65]


Why do you think so, Wroclaw?

I will be an expat as from next week, moreover since I have an international background and education I know some expats, none of which fit your description actually. As for myself, I like working international and being part of a dynamic, developing environment, which will stimulate me to grow and develop as well. The expats I know are all young, ambitious and driven people, preferring to working in an international environment.

I am interested in your feedback and ideas on this.

Krzystof,

This I find very useful info - I am sure that I am going to use your reply reply also when trying to settle in Cracow ( I will be moving over there at the end of September)! Practical questions also...good stuff!

Thanks for putting this together.

Life / Poor Poland? [34]

I am just wondering how this is structured in PL: ppl can afford to buy luxury things and not afford a mortgage. Surely they must have rent to pay for their houses; so how come the difference in PL b/w mortgage payments and rent payments is so large that ppl can afford luxury items with the money they save paying rent rather than a mortgage?

I will move to PL in October...not for love, but for work and adventure! I agree with the attitude to try moving over and go for your dreams though.
