UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]

coz we're so used to being on the wrong end of racism that we're far more open to other religions and cultures, something the uk has never ever been.

well said.

I don,t care what race , colour or religion anyone who comes to the UK is , as long as they obey the laws of my country , don,t suck money out of the place without putting something in , and don,t try to change my country into one that suits them...

oh, come on, you are not even there, the only people who are ruining your country are the people who are stealing your apples at the moment.

Is WB still in the UK?- he might change his mind.

Recession not the immigrants are the cause of frustration.

Mark my words. The time for western Europe to fall is almost here. If there will be civil wars, they will happen in western Europe first. Slavs will live on- lead by Poland. Poland will be one of the last major Christian nations left in continental Europe. Poland knows this. America knows this. Western Europeans are soft and weak. Poles have some p'iss n' vinegar left in them ;)

where do you get this stuff in your head like this? Polish Prophet from Toronto ;)

Real Estate / TRESPASSING ON MY LAND IN POLAND....what can i do legally...? [119]

Well , i am not planning on selling the place yet.... and i don,t want to return at some point to sell it and find there is no roof , doors windows or floorboards...

you need to hire a friendly soul from the village to check the place out every so often, or rent it out to somebody when you are in Russia.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

Jaroslaw should be ashamed for using the corpse of his brother as a political tool. There, I said it.

fair enough, but remember when people were surprised during the elections that he ha snot used it sooner? It was very predictable that he would, it was just a matter of time.

News / Does Poland live up to its freedom rights? [23]

regardless what some Polish people represent on this forum my answer is YES.

The reason I say it is: I visited Poland a month ago and I am speaking from experience.

News / Poland sends firefighters to help Russia [67]

I think it's a normal human reaction - we are helping our neighbors and not Putin or Gazprom.

there is nothing wrong with helping people. Russian or not.

USA, Canada / Better life in USA or Canada? - expats opinions and your comparison [143]

while Canada is ‘politically correcting’ itself right into the ground.

how so?

Bashing Americans is the favorite national pastime.

for some and most of the time it is not that serious, since there more more similarities then differences.

USA, Canada / Better life in USA or Canada? - expats opinions and your comparison [143]

So I'll say this, US>Canada and Poland>Canada.

ha, ha, that made me chuckle since some of it is true. So it looks like POland was def a winner;) Mr Pitt;)
I live in Canada and I like it for the most parts, what I miss is the enthusiasm, which is present in Americans and Polish people, I guess what I am saying is: it is too laid back to some degree, but sometimes I perceive it as indifference. I like more dynamics in general, but that is a personal preference.

News / New cross war in Warsaw [530]

And PL only has a stand-by line which has not been drawn, but gives us stability.

which still costs money.

Life / Animal Rights Movements in Poland [56]

It's highly unlikely there's any veterinary or legal supervision.

meat has to be inspected by the vet before consumption, however when it comes to the way the animals are killed, there are no regulations I think.

Travel / Any PRACTICAL advice for a new visitor to Warsaw? [29]

where in Warsaw are you staying?

I was there for a short period 3 weeks ago and you have to see the:
Old Town, the Kings Castle, the President Palace - they are all in the same area.

Also, I recommend Lazienki - it is very nice, but take some walking shoes, because it is a large area.

Have fun and enjoy. Take something dressy, because people like to dress up there, specially when they are going out.

There is a Jazz Festival in Old Town until Aug 28 - so maybe it is worth checking it out.

Work / From the USA, is it hard to study in Poland? [44]

(If that makes sense?) But maybe the Erasmus program will be a nice alternative aswell.

yes, it does. If you really want it, you will find an alternative to Holland. Erasmus does not cover 4 years I think - you need to check it out. I don't know that program very well.

I've already started with my VWO, which seems too easy so far! I'm going to request my first exams in May next year, and I will do my last exams in September next year, and after that I will file a request for a student loan and attend the VU in Amsterdam, unless I find a more exciting place to study! (So I have plenty of time to explore my options.)

you do and you don't. I though the deadline for applying to unis was in April ?

(Thanks again for giving me ideas.)

any time:)

As for bursaries, every uni has some, but the problem is that there are deadlines to apply for them and they vary, so you need to watch for that. And always look for options, talk to other students since they are the best source of info really:)

Work / From the USA, is it hard to study in Poland? [44]

I couldn't see the VU in Amsterdam, but I did see the UvA on the 120th spot internationally, and on the 23th spot in Europe. I'm sorry folks, but I didn't see any Polish University on that list from 1 to 100. I guess this answer should suffice?

well, that tells you something. If yo don't want to study in Holland, what about the Scottish or Welsh unis. You need to do a research in order to make an educated opinion.

Besides, school is hard work, so prepare yourself mentally for that:). Nobody said it was suppose to be easy, but knowing you, you would enjoy the challenge.

Also, you can apply for bursary, you need to keep an eye on that, I am sure the is a number of them accessible vis unis.

Look into Erasmus program as a part of your studies, or other EU programs.
