News / Should Poland Remove Visa Restrictions? [285]


True unfortunately.


Whatever the ethnicity, those people are brought in with a purpose. And if they are causing troubles it mean there is something wrong in policies. They are not first to blame.


No, only in an ideal World, There are still a lot of space for improvement for humans. And it is even doubtful if we are going into positive direction.

Life / Do Polish Marlboros differ? [21]


Yes, it is called marlboro gold since using 'light' is prohibited.

Life / Do Polish Marlboros differ? [21]


There is difference (comparing to Turkey) and yes it is lighter. But Marlboro in Poland is in acceptable quallity and feel. If you go to countries like Kazakhistan or Uzbekistan there is a big difference. All cigarettes are too light it is not different than smoking straw.

Travel / Can I enter first to Poland having a Czech visa? [13]


It seems she is on a Tourist visa so it will not be a problem for her.

It is a little bit confusing. What does this link mean then ?

Travel / Can I enter first to Poland having a Czech visa? [13]


As far as I know there is nothing like Czech visa. If you are going to any country in Schengen zone you will receive a schengen visa and you can travel any other countries in the zone with your visa. (Especially for tourist visa it shouldn't be a problem at all).

There used to be one exception for D-type work & study long term visas (this Iraqi student most probably had problem about this). but the law changed for it now non-EU people also can travel to other Schengen countries who holds D-TYPE visa.


There can exceptions in nationality base so it is better to ask to the embassy

Travel / Changing money in Poland [15]


Agreed.
Exchange offices in centrum and touristic areas tries to cut %10 if they understand you are a foreigner. Best option is using kantors in malls if you have to.

Law / Poland's Work permit questions - visiting European countries; working in the EU / switching job; dependants [86]

So you haven't applied for work permit. I don't know I wouldn't trust that kind of agency. I also wouldn't be very hopefull without polish knowledge and any specific skills.

Law / Poland's Work permit questions - visiting European countries; working in the EU / switching job; dependants [86]


What is your profession ? If you don't have any specific skills or experience it is really difficult to find a job not only in Poland but also in many other countries these days.

And honestly what you have said so far don't make sense, as far as I know to get a work permit here you need to find the job in advance and the company must declare that they intented to hire you.

Work / No English Speaking Jobs in Poland...At All? [34]

It all depends on your profession. Chances are higher if you are working in a technical area, and you are specialized on a rare subject.

And if you want to work in international company they will look if you have any international work experience before not only the language.

Study / Is there a lot of racism in Warsaw (Brazilian student's question) [83]


I don't agree with you. I been in Warsaw almost a year, I haven't experienced any unpleasant situation and I know many foreigners here never heard anything from them either.

Poland is the sixth country that I have stayed more than six months and if you are not a paranoiac you will hardy see any signs of racism in everyday life here.

Study / Is there a lot of racism in Warsaw (Brazilian student's question) [83]


No there is not. Most of the Polish people are friendly and clever enough not to be a racist also most of the young people speak English. And you can easily find someone who is interested in learning Spanish and teaching you Polish.

Comments in this forum may misguide you, but most of the posters here non-polish and people tend to show their bad sides in internet.

Good observation :). He is a sick ultranationalist.

News / Kaczynski to be buried at Wawel ?! [289]


For me it is most surprising point in this accident. Even in Turkey according to security procedures, president, prime minister or chief of general staff never travel in same airplane. Even some private companies has procedures and they don't allow more than five employees in same flight.

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


I never said I am a muslim, I don't believe in any particular religion but I also have respect to those who believe.


There are many wrongs in all religions, What I think they are invented to unite and manage people. But it is not my business to judge what people believe, There are good and bad people regardless of religion and I can just try to keep good people close to me and stay away from the bad ones. As far as I remember also countries has laws to do that. If people are wrong they should be punished, If there is a risk law should be changed. Biggest mistake would be not to make it individually.

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


My mates, come on I wish death to those terrorists as much as you do.


Again they are not mine. I wish same for them as you did. But it is not same to wish death to all muslims or all indians.


Racism did kill many innocent people in this world as religious fanaticism did (In fact they are fed from same source ignorance) They both can not be accepted. There are rational solutions and if there is really a problem these solutions should be applied.

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


It is something else than wishing death to people . So why government is not taking any action they blind or just don't care? but don't say political correctness. I know they can be quite unfair when needed.

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


It depends, possible for some and not possible for others :) (I am sure there are many Indian people who has never met with an Indian vice versa)


I said many times, best solution to react this issues in Political way, If there is really a problem best way to support and become a member of an organization which is trying to deal with these issues. Not spreading hate over internet or wishing death to people who you even don't know personally.

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


Why ? She don't even has the sense of humour which you have :)

Love / Is Indian/Polish relationship possible? [370]


Yeah, this clearly explains what you are. Shame on you!


Exactly,
Stupidity + Ignorance + Fanaticism = Racism. Examples can be found all over internet.

Welcome to PF !

Travel / Poland from a Persian Tourist's Perspective [269]


Hi Dariusz, I am a Turkish guy living in Warsaw, you are right this place generally gives negative impression than what Poland really is. I found the forum before moving here and I was about to change my mind about it after few readings here. but luckily I have so far been 3 different cities and never had any unpleasant experience (other than an old crazy neighbour but sorted it out with my flat owner).

I had Iranian friends in my previous travels, all were very nice people. Wish you success in your studies.


Yes and some are not ;) Agree with you on this.

Also "Oberża Pod Czerwonym Wieprzem" is a good restaurant with unique theme, it is in Zelazna 68. if you go there try their roasted duck and some kind of plum desert.

Work / Is it normal for companies/schools in Poland to be rude? [116]


Some people are just like that and they will keep complaining regardless of the conditions. I think it is kind of negative thinking and I am trying to keep away from those kind of people since their negativity effects me in bad way.

On the other hand critics are good if they are done in constructive way because there is always room for improvement.

Sparkle_Ravelle
It is sometimes difficult to get a result in Poland. I would suggest you to call people directly in that kind of situations. I also had similar problems in my recruitment process, but everytime I called the person I am in contact with and I did not hesitate to write some complain letters to her supervisor.

Many people being are being shy on this, but it is also good method to understand if they are really interested in you and to show if you are interested in the position and moving to Poland.
