Life / Moving to Poland - When to get Left-hand-drive [10]

Thanks all. We will try and look for a LHD (steering wheel is located on the left-hand side of the vehicle) in the UK.

@delphiandomine: Nope, my husband is British and I am German.

Life / Moving to Poland - When to get Left-hand-drive [10]

Hello

My husband and I are planning to move to Gdansk next May. Now we have thought about moving and about our car... We will have to move (ourselves) by car because we have a dog and so we will have to drive (hardly any airline takes dogs from the UK). We will probably get a removal company to move our stuff. Haven't planned that yet.

So now we are living in England and have a right-hand-drive car which we would quite like to sell here. But how can we get to Poland? I think the removal company will be pretty fed up with us having to stop frequently with the dog and we would want to stay over at my parents in Germany for a night. So we have to travel by car somehow.

Do you think it would be wise (in terms of price) to try and get a left-hand-drive here and then drive across and change the registration in Poland. Maybe a dealer would even take our Citroen C2 as a swap?

Or do you think we should drive to Poland with our C2 and try and sell it there and get a new car over there? Maybe a Polish dealer would be happy for a swap? Just thinking about where we would likely to get the best deal?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Study / When will Polish schools start to recruit for September 2011? [23]

Thank you for your reply.... sorry if I annoyed you with my comment. Was not my intention.

So, is there any school in the Tri-City area that you can honestly recommend or are you basically telling me to give up on English teaching in the Tri-City area?

Thanks

Gosh.. thank you for your replies. Will look at language schools then.

Harry: BTW: there are no international schools in Gdansk.

I believe there are international schools in Gdansk, as examples

- The New: International School of Gdansk
- World school

Polonia / What are social and cultural occupations of Poles in Germany ? [30]

From a German perspective I had to learn to other day that the Dutch have a similar joke about Germans stealing their bikes... So it goes from west to east--- Dutch bike to Germany, German car to Poland.... Anything going from Poland to Russia? :-)

Thank you for the replies.

It is actually my husband. He is a qualified teacher + TEFL and has been teaching in the UK for 9 years. We don't speak any Polish at present time. A friend of ours (also British) got a job at a private British high school.

Is it really that bad as a teacher in Poland? Would you earn more as a private teacher at a language school?

Thanks

Hello

I was wondering if anyone know when Polish schools start recruiting for for September 2011? There doesn't seem to be much around yet.
Are they quite far behind compared to UK high schools?

We are particularly looking for high schools in Gdansk.

Thanks
