Work / Internships in Polish mass media [23]

Sorry not to be able to help more.

Why not try getting into media where you are and then looking for a post out here?

USA, Canada / Does anyone know about Americans or Canadians deported from Poland on Visa irregularities? [14]

Possibly a little bit of the last one. But it is more that a lot of Americans either think that visa requirements do not apply to them or believe that they can continue to make trips across the border every 90 days or something like that. And more and more of them are finding out the hard way that neither of those beliefs are correct.

here's a guy who sometimes posts on this forum by the name of Brian who was caught and banned for a year.

He's the one who applied for a karta pobytu and then found out his school hadn't secured the promise of a work permit which he needed.

NEVER! I am Polish citizen and have Polish Passport to travel in EU:))

Yes, dear boy, of course you do. Just as you now own a wonderfully successful Indian restaurant in Warsaw.

Can you, please, just write a mass media to which I can write)

There is no English language print media in Poland that would give you a job or an internship.

USA, Canada / Does anyone know about Americans or Canadians deported from Poland on Visa irregularities? [14]

Yes: I know several Americans who have been deported for overstaying and I know more who have either had trouble on exit or were denied re-entry into Poland. Those deported were caught in a variety of ways: one was reported by his ex-girlfriend; one was arrested for being drunk and when they checked his passport, they saw he'd been in Poland for more than 90 days; one had his residency request denied because his school hadn't secured the promise of a work permit for him and as he'd been in Poland for more than 90 days by then, he was deported; one was (we think) reported by the boss of the school he'd just left without giving notice (because they were three weeks late with his pay); one was stopped for jaywalking. I know three Americans who have got stuck in Ukraine (tried to come back to Poland and were denied entry at the border), one who wasn't allowed on his flight from London and one who got stuck in Kalingrad.

Cars are not scratched or jumped on without reason here.

Clearly you do not live in Warsaw.

Not really. Or at least not the print media.

Although obviously most of the content is created by people who work from home.

Work / Internships in Polish mass media [23]

the Insider and the Voice would have hired a horse to check opening times of museums etc providing that they did not have to pay for it back in the day

Probably not actually. The problem is that you have to find space for the person to sit and then pay for the calls that they make. I can tell you for a fact that the Insider is not now looking for an intern and would not even bother to keep any CVs sent in (the editor-in-chief is a good friend of mine).

they will take anyone to do the background check stuff if it is as an intern

Seriously, they will not be interested. Warsaw In Your Pocket doesn't even have an office in Warsaw! It has a staff of two people (one of whom also writes other guides in Poland). The WBJ used to have summer interns but those were always people who were well connected (e.g. when I was there it was the daughter of the US ambassador) and as far as I know, they haven't even bothered with the summer interns for several years.

contact Warsaw in your Pocket, the Warsaw Voice, the WBJ, the Warsaw Insider

None of those would be interested. Especially given that the OP appears not to be a particularly fluent speaker of English.

Travel / Visiting Poland for 3 days. Need some info on getting around [12]

I've tried to book some train tickets online but there's no such thing as an e-ticket and you have to physically get them somehow.

You can buy tickets on the PKP website and then print them out yourself. bilet.intercity.pl/irez/ Yes I do use that service myself.

Study / Ever meet a non-Polish teacher at a Polish university? [15]

Yes, for one a German bloke, got married to his Polish girlfriend in late '80s, was still denied residency, his wife was denied an exit visa, he was about to get deported, he asked for his supervising professor for help: no more visa office problems.

I also knew a fair mid 90s USPC volunteers at various business schools, who met with varying fates.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

I wouldn't negotiate about Poland without Polish representatives present and most of all I would make clear to Polish Government about real circumstances and issues regarding negotiations with Soviets by HMG.

If Britain had refused to negotiate about Poland without Polish representatives being there, that would have suited Stalin just fine: he would simply have not negotiated about Poland and done whatever he wanted (probably making Poland part of the USSR). As for what the Polish govt knew, well they clearly knew about the plan to move Poland's border westwards: the Polish PM suggested it!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

She told me that there was an English group of turists at that place too , when the English heard Polish language , they started approaching young students saying that they were very sorry for what Great Britain did to Poland during the war . So this is a proof that English older generation realise all wrongdoings done to our country .

Pity you can't tell us the things those tourists were supposed to be apologising for.

But it's more of a pity for you that a few years ago very very very few British people had any idea what Polish sounds like, which shows that your story is nothing but a compete fabrication. Try harder next time.

Its always Britain this and USA that, bollox i say, you'd do the same, ohh yes you would.

Not they would do the same: they actually did sell their allies. Poland sold their Ukrainian allies and we know the exact price Poland accepted in exchange for stabbing their allies in the back.

Ashamed?

Most Brits realise that Poland was a minor, tiny player in a worldwide game - and most Brits also realise that Britain was in no position to argue otherwise at those conferences.

And the ones who have actually read the agreements that those conferences produced know that what is often claimed about those conferences, i.e. that Poland was betrayed at them, very simply is not true.
