Work / Have been offered a job in Warsaw - should I move to Poland?? [48]


Yes, I would like to hear of your experiences of living overseas.

What is your main reasons for not doing it again? You did not like Poland or you could have got a better deal somewhere else?

Work / Have been offered a job in Warsaw - should I move to Poland?? [48]

Do what again?

I like the Tescos own brand with the bits of chocolate sprinckled inside.

If they are Polish peanuts you would be right, yes, muck!

Work / Have been offered a job in Warsaw - should I move to Poland?? [48]


Normally peanuts.

Because they will want his money by any chance?

It could also be a very lonely experience for someone stuck in a concrete room in a concrete block of flats somewhere. Gdańsk is awash with miles of horrible concrete blocks. The Poles love concrete, I wonder if the builders in Poland just loved playing with water when they were kids!

I remember breakfast in Poland so very very well and yes, I do know what I am talking about. Out come the dry bread and cheese and then on goes the damn television! Everybody sits and watches it endlessly! As for me, never again! Life is too short to wast on such rubbish. I have to work for a living and certainly have not the time and energy in watching American films with a voice over telling us what is going on. I remember being in Gorzów Wielkopolski once and for breakfast I was served up an East German film, all about training during National Service! What a bore! A really dreadful unforgettable experience and the breakfast of salami meat on dry bread was little better. The coffee was digusting. I can never understand it, the same old poor quality coffee with all the dregs in the bottom of the cup. Trying to be diplomatic to the hosts is even more difficult. Never again. I will travel further afield next time.

Anyway, answering the question about the city centre, its not really very nice. I know it well and have been there many times. Try Buda Pest, they say that is one of the most splendid cities in Europe.

It is the same in most ex and former Comminist countries. The Poles spend most of their free time at home watching the television. In Poland, the Poles are even glued to the telly at breakfast time. They sit and watch stupid programmes whilst eating their 'kanapki'-a very odd habit indeed.

I would have though that besides from Wrocław and Gdańsk, the night life should be good in the capital and with the airport, you can always come home whenever you want to as it is only two hours thirty minutes back to London if it does not work out.

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]

Russian women look different to Polish women but both will work at gaining an overseas passport. There are more pretty Polish women than Russian but then, on the other hand, when the Poles hit forty they start to fall apart, rather like a Polish Polonez motor car. Have you ever seen a polish car that has been around the clock and is still in one piece?!!.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]


Yes, very true. I have a cousin who lived near Philadelphia. and so there was a time when I used to go over there to experience America a little. I stayed at a place called Mount Laurel and used the Grey Hound bus to go in to town. It was 'interesting' to look at the very poor quality of many little back to back houses in a country we all think of as leader of the new economic World order. In main cities too, the number of people with serious clear psychological problems just left to roam the streets, eating from garbage cans wherever they could find something to eat.

News / Poland - Third World Country?? [300]

It all depends on personal experiences and I am sure that travelers who have been to places like India and then travel to a country like Poland certainly would not find it a 'Third World Country'. South Africa is considered to be one of those 'Third World Countries' too but if you look at the wealth in Cape Town you would not consider this country to be 'third World'.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


I do not live in Kraków, I live in Guildford. Guildford is a town in the county of Surrey. Get your facts right.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


The 'town' I was referring to was Guildford, which is a town and not a city.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


I think the term 'that town' was written by you somewhere above, they certainly were not my words.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]

They come from 'that town' of course, Kraków.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]

We never talk to them!

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


Mind you, there are some very strange and nasty people that come from that town. We have some fine spescimins in Guildford.

Language / Dwa vs. dwie in Polish [85]

I have no need to write in Russian and why should I? Does your friend 'The Lady In Red' write in Russian on a day to day basis? Why must I?

Language / Dwa vs. dwie in Polish [85]


How do you write in Russian on a PC?

Is a knowledge of Russian a compulsory qualification for entry to the Forum?

As you write prubować its rich of you to talk about 'village language'.

Language / Dwa vs. dwie in Polish [85]


I would not have a clue how to get the Cyrillic letters from Word. Why should I? Do you know Russian?

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]

No, I was in Krakow very recently and do know what is like. I even visited Bochnia by train at the same time. It was 1985 or 1986.

Krakow is more popular than Prague-hard to believe. It is true to say that Prague is full of 'wall-to-wall' tourists but there is simply no comparison between Prague and Krakow.

Travel / Just back from Krakow [120]


Yes, Krakow is nice and worth a visit for a long week end but no more. Unfortunately all the Poles are like that and never smile. One day to see the Old Square and another to see the old castle is enough to see everything. The poles call Krakow 'their Prague' but for my liking, Krakow and Prague are similar only in the fact that both cities share the same Latin alphabet in their spellings!

Travel / What do you know about Torun, Poland? [30]

I have never been to Toruń but I have heard that there are lots of old and interesting buildings. I do, however, know Bydgoszcz very well indeed from personal experience and my God! What a dump! Not the worst town in Poland but by far the worst town in all of Europe!

Language / "Zaraz wracam" - Why not "zaraz wrócę" ? [32]

Zaraz wracam sounds good to me too.

Yes, just as my example earlier ja prosze kawe or ja poprosze kawe-the same thing in different words.
