Work / Living in Wroclaw... Any tips on jobs and salaries (sales/marketing) in Poland? [17]

Luke

Young skywalker , the path of a Jedi is not an easy one . many enemies will test your powers , and you must remain strong on this alien planet...

Use the force Luke , it is strong within you , and resist the evil ways of the federation...

To learn the language , you must use the module in your droid , and keep your light sabre by your side always...

Best of luck with the flat hunting , there are a few forum people in that area who may be able to help you...

Welcome to Polska...

I'm not very enthusiastic about vodka and other strong liquors.

Like any good resident of Russia , i will keep some vodka in the house in case of unexpected guests , but i will stick to beer too....

In Poland i spend so much time in my car , or on my bike , that alcohol is something i rarely get to sample...

have to fart about with re-registering it maybe a MOT test?

noo you don,t need all that nonsense in Moscow....just buy some insurance at the border...and fail to understand when the cops stop you...

Unless you are doing somethng really naughty they don,t bother you...

what are your chances of long-term survival?

I am sure i will be fine... i am not afraid of the Russians , my Russian lady will take care of me...

Life / Winter 2010/2011 in Poland, is it going to be bad? [114]

I was out last night , driving from the local town back to my home , the road has been covered in snow for several days now , and is a bit slippy....

I was driving my Jeep , but i had it in two wheel drive , as the snow was not very deep , and i was getting plenty of grip , or so i thought...!

As i came down a hill out of the town , the ass of the Jeep went waltzing off on its own , and i wound up sliding all over the place , finished up with the nose of the Jeep about ten inches from a large tree...

I drove the rest of the way home in four wheel drive...

Well , apart from some private brewery stuff that is really nice its a bit hopeless compared to some of the Polish brews....

I used to like Newcastle brown when i was over there , and many of the real ales....

The rest were a bit like coloured water...

And you've yet to meet this lady in person, right?

Nooo we have met... we had a great hoilday in Kiev..

If we were 20 years old , i would say its a good idea to wait a while , but we are not... i am 56 , and she is 46...we know what we want...

And we are as perfect a match as its possible to get...

Everything will be just fine... we know it...

watch out for the holes in the road on that 50km bad stretch from the border into Poland.

This is why the Poles drive faster in snow.....it fills all the holes in..!

Then thoughts can run your mind like what if: the temp dropped to -60 and stayed there, what if it snowed hard for a week solid.

Sounds just like Northen Russia....but they are used to it...It would be tough for us Brits with British cars and British ideas to survive such nonsense...

I hope you like Russia ...

Home is where the heart is...mine is definatly with a lovely Russian teacher...

Quote Ashley.....And often you are either killed or viciously attacked. Many Bikers here are thugs,

They are the ones that make the news , there are one or two groups , that for variuos reasons don,t like another group...The Hells Angels and the Bandidos for example just do not like each other...

Most of us get along fine with other clubs , and its pretty rare for bikers to be fighting with each other...

Of course , when you get the Hells Angels using rocket grenades and car bombs to sort out disputes with another club , its gonna get in the news....

it was something far more simpler and just about you, not your "pack!" ... but good luck in whatever you do.

I know...but their principles are the same as mine...Bikers don,t care what coulour you are , or where you are from...you are either ok...or you are not...

Remember, while you are there, praise God for what you have. Also, remember what you got and how you got it ... never look down on anyone due to their background, color, nativity or education or job or income ... anything. Remember that goodness is something that comes with the blessings and mercy of God, and it can come from anywhere - also go away if you show no respect to it and become nothing but selfish.

I reply with the words of the Motorcycle club i will be joining in Russia....its not perfect English , but i am sure its clear....

NIGHT WOLVES is our Family, proved by years, joys and difficulties. We are a conciliarism of the people, sharing one philosophy, living by one principles and morals of the Slavonic and Pravoslavny Traditions. Pack - is our element. Wolves Pack - Wolves Power. Not in vain we carry through years our Emblem, which nobody, including death, can take away from us.

We don't accept any political, religious - chauvinistic movements, in spite of constant attempts to tie to us different kinds of labels and nameplates. We mix and make friends with people with whom we want to mix and make friends. We never regard as a paramount importance material and social status of a man. Man and our community with him are much more important to us, but not a size of his purse or his high position or not.

And generally speaking, we have a lot of Brothers and Friends, whom we love and don't sell out. NIGHT WOLVES, themselves, find Brothers and Friends, and people sharing our views, find us. Everything is quite simple. We don't need quantity; we are looking for quality. And we find it, in spite of obstacles, put in Our Way by different kinds of demons.

We always openly declare the fact, who can't be NIGHT WOLF. It is - pederast, drug taker, drug dealer, people carrying the ideas of evil, named "antichrists" and a man with whom, we think, we have different ways. It is no sense to come to us for material grace so, as we don't have it, more obvious we have Duty and Conscience before Brotherhood, Motoclub. Our grace is Our Being. We are happy that Destiny has united the best, again up to us, people

I'll think twice before storing anything valuable in a inhabited countryside house here,

The wooden house is within the Moscow ring road ( Malachovka ) and its occupied all the time by my girlfriends daughter...

Maybe i can put it all in a container , a 20 ft one would do...

I see you are in Moscow also...is the Moscow beer any good..? A Russian guy living in Moscow tells me its not , i can,t ask my girlfriend , she does not drink..

Lodz the boat...yes it would save a lot of transport costs to dump everything and travel light , but all the stuff i am taking is stuff i really need over there....

Are we talking family heirlooms, lawnmowers, or stuff you need for business?

How did you get it all from the UK in the first place?

Its a combination of all that stuff , well , apart from the heirlooms maybe..?

There is a load of books , tools , all manner of stuff , but its been trimed down to only stuff i really need to take to Russia , everything else will be given away or sold...

Its nice you think i am a charitable guy , and it was this that helped me get all my stuff to Poland from the UK....

A Polish trucking company in Szczecin had been helping me out with bringing truck loads of stuff from the UK to the childrens home in Poland , and they were kind enough to bring my house contents too on one of the trips , saved me a fortune in moving costs...

Oh , you asked me how far it is...? From my farm in Poland to Moscow , its about 1000 miles...

Yeah , there is room at the house in Moscow to store my boxes , there is a lot more than four though , more like 50 boxes , though i have not counted them yet...?

My Jeep does have a tow bar on it , so i could drag a trailor behind it if i can get one...

Yes , i could sort out a place to stay in Moscow for anyone with a van that fancied visiting the city , i am working on that one...

I also have an old Landrover with a huge roof rack that could carry a ton of stuff , but its going to need some work on the back axle before it goes anywhere....

I am planning to go over there in March , so i still have a bit of time to come up with a plan...

There is no customs control between Russia and Belarus.

Belarus is a complete pain to get through , i would not recommend anyone going through Belarus just to save a few kms...

I took aid to kids in Belarus , and even under those circumstances the customs guys were a complete pain , i doubt it would be any easier if you were taking your own stuff through there...

If i decide to buy or hire a van ,i will be heading east to the Polish border area , then north through the Baltic states , Latvia , and Lithuania , not the shortest route perhaps , but past experiance has taught me the shortest route is not always the quickest...

I know the roads up that way , and where the money grabbing bandits in uniform like to hide...

The best solution for me would be to buy a decent Merc van in the UK and drive my stuff there myself , but i don,t know if i will have the cash to do that...

If all else fails , i will just have to take what i can in my Jeep and come back for the rest later....

Work / CHRISTMAS CHARITY WORK IN POLAND... [29]

Ha.... my sister finds it quite funny...!

When i asked her when she will visit me in Poland , she always used to say..I will visit when you have an inside toilet...!

She is rather amused that i may soon have a choice of three toilets , and says i won,t know which one to pss in first...!

Actually we will have four places , as Ksu wants to have another flat in Moscow that she can rent out....
