warszawski was explaining the 29 euro ticket because a normal ticket, just before traveling, may be prohibitively expensive for some people.

Travel / Traveling From Warsaw to Berlin - train? [25]


there may be some restrictions with regard to some trains/days.

in my experience the 10 days in advance doesn't seem to be a strict rule.

Life / Child Adoption in Poland? [138]

In Poland:
the first stage involves questions and answers and various checks. then the couple may be expected to foster the child for a certain period. this will involve checks by the authority. then it will be time to adopt. this involves possibly two or three visits to court.

you won't need a lawyer, but u may need a translator.

if i were u i'd contact the Polish consulate/embassy in your country and state your case with them. obviously the case for adopting from abroad is different.

Life / An example of what is wrong with Poland (fatal traffic accident and a tram) [55]


not quite. i did ask a question, which hasn't been answered.

in principle i agree with harry, but i still don't know how the woman was killed.

traffic hold-ups caused by accidents are a problem here. and i simply can't see what difference it makes moving a tram that is already many metres from the point of impact.

one problem is that it's not only the police who investigate, but also tram officials. and if they are not at the scene then the tram won't move.

Life / An example of what is wrong with Poland (fatal traffic accident and a tram) [55]

all they had to do was take some photos, mark the road where the wheels of the tram were.... and then move it. as they would do in the uk.

i'd like to know how an elderly lady managed to open the doors of a moving tram.

or do i misunderstand this:


did she try to get off or did she walk under it ?

Work / English with a Polish girlfriend. Experience in engineering, machines - working in Poland? [19]


being able to read a plan/drawing will help.

as u know the work is more to do with knowledge of the machine. and on the factory floor u can't chat much, if you're busy.

the pay will be terrible by most standards, but work is work.

u need to find a friend who knows people in the business.

make learning Polish a priority.

Life / Winter in Poland? [160]


buy a coat with pockets


cold air gets trapped under jeans. wear either: leggings, pyjama bottoms or your girl friend's pantyhose/tights.


depends on the quality of your sweater. i just wear two shirts and a regular jacket


i never bother with one. but the norm is a wooly cap (black)

you'll need a scarf, but put your jacket on first and then wrap the scarf around a couple of times and knot it. most women do this.

remember that when it's cold u'll be indoors and when u go out... use public transport.

if you are afraid of the cold don't buy a dog... especially not an owczarek podhalanski.
