Life / A loss to Krakow. [20]

A Major mistake, investing in the building he doesn't own.

I don't think there is a building in Krk of that size and perfect for the job that anyone would sell.

I'm not interested in the politics of this. The aquarium is there for the families of Krk no matter who owns it or wants the profits. I would have thought that local government would be wanting to keep this within the city, at least for local tourism.

I know more of Polish politics than I let on IS, a couple of MPs spent a few bucks having lessons from me (for English that is :D ) but I never really took notice or demanded to know their motives within the political world... most the same as the rest, cutting their own piece of the cake ;)

If I could tell the stories I learnt over the years there I'd write a book, alas I'm not keen too lol

No idea. The aquarium is definitely closing by the way (just checked with someone who knows this sort of thing) - so the story might be true enough.

Of course it is, when some farts in Krk I know about it! I done a lot more than teaching in that city buddy ;)

Life / A loss to Krakow. [20]

That's probably entirely due to the PAN paying diabolically low salaries, even by Polish standards.

As far as I'm aware, aren't a lot of staff volunteers from the Uni? I've been out of the country for a we while. No doubt find out everything when I get back.

Is it the same guy who owns several hostels too? I think I know who he is...

Sure is. Don't get me wrong, I dont personally like the guy, I know exactly how he ran those hostels, but this truly was a great idea.

Life / A loss to Krakow. [20]

I know the guy who set this venture up in the beginning. Giving something to Krakow that would not only be great for the city and it's Universities but also to krk too.

Shame that the krakow aquarium is now closing due one professor that became the director of the institute of systematic's a division of Polish academy of sciences in Krakow wanting not only his rent for owning the building but an extra salary plus bonuses up front as "little extra payments to keep the birds happy".

I will always be the first to shout down people having a go at Poland for the wrong reasons, but this indeed sounds like too many cases from when I first came to live in Krk over 9 years ago, I really thought this was dying out in Krk. Seems not.

UK, Ireland / My dream about UK. Please help. [86]

There are lots of au pair jobs around my area. Rich families who live busy lives. Most au pairs get second jobs as well just to keep the income up. My French friend is an au pair who also works in the local cafe.

You have the will so it's just about the planning ;) If you want something enough then usually with hard work you can achieve it. ;)

Good luck in your search,and,one last thing,expand your search outside of London,you will end up financially trapped there.

Yep, most earnings will be taken up.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

f stop made a posting which stereotypes Poles. There is no getting around this.

no, she made a posting that showed Poles stereotyping about Jews. Big difference.

If she is Jewish then you dtaylor5632 will need to explain what the problem would be in her sharing that information. There is nothing for her to be ashamed of is there? Only you can answer that one.

Erm, excuse me? Is your head so far up your own back-side kissing it, that you really think I need to explain anything? Seriously?? Haha!

From reading some of your other posts, it seems that logic is something that may be missing in your abilities.

Have a nice day ;)

Work / BEWARE of K&S Krakowska Szkoła Języków Obcych!! [41]

K&S are a small school run by a couple. Can't mind what street but Jana pawla comes to mind. They are not too popular as in many students but seem to do alright. As a small school they may well be experiencing the financial bite. I had a job offer once from them but turned it down.

Love / E-marriage - how successful among Poles? [21]

Yes, I'm well aware of that but why e-dating as opposed to actually going out and socializing?

Well, of course I can go out and just pick someone up from the bar no problem. But I'm quite well known around these parts and don't always want something a bit close to home. Plus I'd rather meet someone on my terms. E-dating plays a wee part in that.

Love / E-marriage - how successful among Poles? [21]

We live in modern times. E-dating is just another tool people use to meet each other. It's quite popular in Scotland but the majority of people who use the sites use them to find an FB.

I've used them in the past, met folk from them. No biggy.

Travel / Tell me all about Krakow! [42]

Not another Szkieletor...

Or hotel forum ;)

I am not saying another shopping mall is the answer but a museum to go with the one across the road (okay not the prettiest either but hey:)

They will knock it down and build an apartment complex.
