Law / Residency in Europe for Polish-American - Question [11]

Well, of course germany is part of the eu. But I have heard that you need some type of sponsorship to work there or something like that. I would like to know the countries (atleast in Europe) for which you do not need any type of paperwork (as far as visa's or sponsorships are concerned.

Law / Residency in Europe for Polish-American - Question [11]

Ok, because when Bulgaria and Romainia joined in 2007. I believe the EU set some legislation in place that restricted the countries BG and RO citicens could enter for work purposes. I was wondering if Polish citizens have any such restriction put in place on them.

Life / My girlfriend wants to go back to Poland as she thinks lifes better there [36]

Polish people will always travel to find green American dollars and they think of little else. However, Poland is probably changing and there is a new middle class emerging, however, much of it is based on credit.

Well, you see most people have bills to pay. Student loans, familys to support, car insurance, mortagages and the like. Thus money is very important, whatever nationality you are. However, it seems you don;'t have much of a life, so you don't have to worry about nor understand these things.

Real Estate / Why are homes in Poland more expensive than in the USA? [27]

Depends what area of the United States your comparing Poland to. I do construction jobs part-time and there are houses in Long Island (New York), where the property tax alone for the house is about $20,000-$30,000 per year, and they are nice homes but there not anywhere close to mansions, nor are they shoreline property.

News / Polish Embassy in Baghdad under Missile Attack [4]

It should have been done a long time ago :( :(

...As of Monday, April 28, 2008, at least 4,056 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003,...

...The British military has reported 176 deaths; Italy, 33; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 21; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, seven; El Salvador, five; Slovakia, four; Latvia, three; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand, Romania, two each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, South Korea, one death each...

I wonder if there will be anything to be proud of after this war comes to a conclusion (if it comes to a conclusion).

Life / Airports being built in Polska [5]

Rzeszow-Jasionka is in the process of building a badly needed terminal, which honestly is long over due, but it will definately give Rzeszow a new look, once its up.

Work / Just about to move to Gdynia - teaching job Help! [24]

Go for it. You can always find a job in Poland. Although you did not mention if you've been through school, and what level. As far as teaching English, you can put an ad in a newspaper to be a tutor. That's what I would do if I were you. Good Luck.

Thanks in advance,

UK, Ireland / POLISH TEENAGER MURDERED IN UK..man convicted [28]

WTF??? He should be put away for life!! There should be no chance of him ever being released back into the public. As long as he believes in his "religion", he's going to do it agian. This is the stuff that pisses me off about the British legal system; IT HAS NO BALLS!!! I could go on about the stuff that has gone on, e.g. actual terrorists seeking and being granted asylum in the UK!!! This is really sad.

UK, Ireland / Relocating to the UK [7]

I will be relocating to the UK sometime soon, and I was wondering if there is a courier service (not UPS or Fedex; their way too expensive), that I could ship a box about the size of one or two suitcases to London, possibly even Northern Scotland, because I will likely end up their real soon. Some time ago I shipped some boxes to europe for about $20 - $30 and it took about 4-6 weeks for them to get there by ship, so I'm looking in this direction. Thanks, Paul

UK, Ireland / Relocating to the UK [7]

Even better, I received an unconditional offer for the London Met Uni (MSc Aviation and International Trade), alhtough I'm not too sure whether I want to go there; they're not in the best financial state. I'm also looking at University of Greenwich (MA Transport Logistics). However, I think I will defer my acceptance to February or Sept. 2010, I want to save up a little money so I have a cushion just in case I don't find a job right away.
