Travel / Is it possible to buy a KM (Koleje Mazowieckie) ticket on the train in warsaw? [3]

From KM website

On the train

Purchasing a ticket on the train

For the convenience of the Mazowieckie Railways passengers, there exists the possibility of purchasing a ticket directly on the train. Any traveller without a valid ticket for his journey or having a ticket that is not legalised/not activated should enter the train through the first door of the train (at the head of the units), and notify the train manager for the purchase, legalisation or activation of the ticket.

Law / A general legal question about inheritance in Poland - debts [31]

Debt would usually be in a collection agency and they wouldn't accept anything else but money. They would usually agree to be paid off by some monthly installments.

Law / A general legal question about inheritance in Poland - debts [31]

and you'd have to inform the court when rejecting inheritance within 6 months, if not you're taking legacy in full.

Real Estate / Looking to buy property in Poland - understanding the different types of ownership! [10]


It's technical but having full ownership means you would also own the land (part of it) on which your apartment stands. Housing association would itself own the land. When selling you'd be selling your rights to apartment vs apartment itself. Full owner could also change usage o an apartment into commercial usage without asking any association for permit. Full ownership also gets better ranking with banks. As for the fees they are similar if not lower for association housing. I don't think you'd need layer as long as you'd buy from real estate agency not individual - they'd take care of you with legal matters if you take one with experience selling to foreigners.

Life / Advice needed on Dental implant in Poland [119]

my quote in Szczecin, Poland : less then 1000 eur per tooth plus 75 eur for photos or whatever they call it. Price estimate given for 4 implants. Mind it takes time and probably several trips would be necessary - if you consider doing it here.

Travel / Travelling from Rzeszów to Szczecin [7]

I'd take train from Rzeszow to Krakow (less then 4 hrs) and fly from there to Szczecin. Intercity trains are comfy but anything over 6 hours in train would be painful.

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]

OMG I didn' know our girls were horny like that...maybe the ones going for foreign guys!

USA, Canada / If you moved from US to Poland, could you please share your experience? [16]

It's been over all a very good move for me to leave US for Poland, after 12 years. I still remember first days when I definitely had experienced a culture shock - everything was so familiar but at the same time alien it was. It was a great relive to be able to speak polish again, some of my first polish sentences had elements of English grammar - I've been using a lot passive voice...but words would come up out of me with joy....walking around my home town was a blast...I had this feeling of being among my own people again, would be starring at school soccer field with open jaw, walking old paths again and again - this would last for months! Being race conscious I realized polish people were racially different, had different shades of skin colour, some were Latino alike, some had Asian features, I would notice lots of American culture influence - something I don't see or notice anymore - guy waling with Oakland Raiders baseball hat, music with lyrics I could understand and judge while others could only hear the melody...It was shocking to realize people don't save water and consider it stupid to save water or electricity, I would tip American way and in fact still do; I found food to be delicious and apples with worms considered organic prove. Polish appeared to be sometimes extremely rude and customer service was a joke (attitude). Women were cleaning the table after family dinner...

*Feyenoord Rotterdam (Netherlands)

Bologna F.C. 1909 I(taly)
Portland Timbers(USA)

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

I understand the concern that a group responsibility has been applied here by justice system, something to avoid in general. Yet, we are dealing here with a bunch of football hooligans terrorizing the rest of us for years now and often causing significant damages to property, without any repercussions. I applaud police tactics to lock them all up and prevent them from seeing football game they are to attend if - like the Lazio case - they refuse to rid off bad apples from the traveling group. We know the scenario: they do damages, throw stones, fight and when Police arrives there are no witnesses, no ways to establish who did what. Police reply: ok angels, you are here for football game so none of you would see it. Fine with me.

Stabbings among supporters are an all-too-regular occurrence

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

Like, say me ..I often go to see Pogon Szczecin with a kitchen knife. Clear enough to see folks been throwing something into police car escorting them to the stadium.

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

just one Police car got some damage ...but why would you take an axe along for a football game is beyond me..

UK, Ireland / Poles robbing Poles in the UK [12]

Poles robbing Poles

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]

Actually it is what the politicians want.

Life / Becoming a Polish citizen, what did it change for you? [6]

glad I made you laugh. ...hope someone would answer your question.....all I know, with polish citizenship you'd be able to vote and be elected to parliament, sure something to consider :)

Life / Becoming a Polish citizen, what did it change for you? [6]

Anne Applebaum is a Pulitzer prize winner American journalist, married to Poland's secretary of state Radek Sikorski - she's kind of small scale American celebrity in Poland and she said something very similar to what you did say in your first post. Anyway she did get polish citizenship already (checked) . Pardon for any confusion ...thought she finally did pay a visit to the fPF

News / Premier says no recession for Poland [148]

Looking at the working poor - class - pardon the Marxist term on here - ...in Poland and elsewhere in Europe I would definitely prefer to be poor in Poland then in the West. It is just better to be in a country from which you could immigrate for a temporary job, say seasonal job for few months and make enough $$ to live back home for many more months and be work free. Also I can hardly imagine any poor person in the West being able to buy/own property with some dead-end job. In Poland owning cheap but your own space is actually affordable and could be realistic project for anybody healthy and willing - not to mention that lots of home properties in Poland had been already acquired in privatization scheme for some small percentage of its value.

I'd say hope is here for the poor, not so for the poor in the West

Life / Becoming a Polish citizen, what did it change for you? [6]

but are you Anne Applebaum Sikorski ?

Travel / Is Warsaw dangerous nightly ? [14]

Avoid train station area. Dogs might be a problem on early morning hours when some people take them out without the leash. Overall it is safe. Police may be checking on you whether you are ok, not drunk etc but may not fine you for say sleeping an the bench. Also I would avoid staying next to large apartment buildings where you could encounter some overactive youth

News / Premier says no recession for Poland [148]

Technically we did escape recession and growth is almost certain - not the one we would dream about ( 5-8%) but something around 2-3%.
New tranche of EU funds would be definitely increasing employment, growth and media attention - we could expect 2014 being a success story told by media at least showing us what has been built here and there. Szczecin has been visibly business busy in summertime after some hesitation visible in early spring on consumer part. If we don't have a dreadful autumn -weather wise - optimism will continue till Christmas. Ballot day is 2 years from now and Tusk may be loosing even more yet as long as PiS would stay below 50% we could expect easy SLD PSL PO coalition as - I hope - PiS wouldn't find anybody to partner with.

Law / Picking up a child from preschool in Poland. How much should I charge? [7]

I'd say your hourly pay should go somewhat less then, say inexpensive English private lessons tutors would charge per hour - in your area. And more then regular child care charge without driving. My estimate 15-25 zl per hour.

Travel / Going to Pomorskie, Kwidzyn from gdansk by train [10]


Give yourself 20 min before departure time to buy ticket at train station, buying ticket on the train is plus 6.50 zl and no ticket has to be reported before they start tickets control. Show your student ID at the box office.

Work / How is the Warsaw job opportunities for international students? [43]

6.5 eur per hour job

Travel / Going to Pomorskie, Kwidzyn from gdansk by train [10]

Green (TLK ) are usually faster and don't stop everywhere, are more comfortable and you could have a drink or snack on board. Red ones arebasicly cheaper and slower. You may take both providing they get you where you are going.
