Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]


oh I will :P it's my favorite alcohol drink :)


Damascus (the capital ) ,the outskirts are damaged (not all of them ,depends on the area of fighting ) but thankfully ,nothing ancient was damaged in damascus ,couldn't say the same about aleppo :(

Daily life is normal in damascus ,people keep living like there's nothing (even after a suicide bomb attack or random mortars hitting damascus ) ,streets used to be more crowded in the night (1-2 am ) ,now it's crowded until 8-9 pm lol in poland this is normal :P in syria it's not


What if both sides are wrong ? of course I see one side as a bigger threat to syria ,but they're both wrong ,I support diplomatic solutions .


oh trust me ,i've noticed -_- ,september is still hot back in syria ,and here it's cold ,well it's not irritating cold ,it's nice ,but it will get worse :/ we're still in september ..

yep here it is ,the reputation of drunk people that i've heard of .. saw a drunk woman today with a dog ,she was crossing the road and was nearly hit by a car ,I entered biedronka and after I bought my stuff ,I saw her outside ,she was kicking her dog ,it was a disturbing sight ...

I was charged 0.5 zloty for buying a plastic bag at carrefour ,I'm actually happy because I read somewhere before on this forum that it's for the environment ,so i'll probably start bringing my bag :) .


well yeah ,but it's doesn't mean old either ,it's between the two . It depends on the renovation type actually .

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]


yeah I did ,but didn't know this info ,thanks :)


really ? I thought it was new (because most of the old town of poznan is renovated )

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

Poznan is really a fantastic city ,I visited yesterday lots of interesting sights :
like Park Cytadela ,I really liked the old tanks and planes ,for some reason it's forbidden to go near the planes ,I think I spotted a german me 262 nazi plane (the first jet plane ) ,but I couldn't get close . Most tanks were russian tanks ,one tank didn't have a sign ,so i'm not sure what it is ,I hope it was a german tiger tank (i'm a fan of WW2 weapons )

also visited fara Poznańska really nice cathedral .

I also visited Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul ,also awesome ,but there was something weird ,I saw people putting roses near a statue (just outside the basilica ) when I approached ,I recognized the pope john paul the second ,it seems that people really like him here .

We also waited near the old town hall till 12 o'clock ,I was waiting something spectacular to happen ,but to be honest ,I was disappointed :P seeing all these tourists waiting for something to happen ,when the town hall's clock reached 12 o'clock 2 mechanical goats came out and they headbutted each other ,It was symbolic I guess ,but not that spectacular .

I saw a person driving maniacally (even for syrian standards ) ,he was passing vehicles by driving on the sidewalks and was drifting .


exactly ,when I got my driver's license I was like " ok ,let me be an example and drive safely " but after driving for a while ,you just can't XD it's impossible


uh yeah I posted this to **** off people who are afraid that foreigners are "invading " poland .

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

yeah I thought so too

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]


syriac is an aramean dialect ,I read about the difference between them a while ago ,turned out that syriacs are aramean ,but when they became christian the preferred to be called syriac and not aramean .


unfortunately no ,but some syriacs still speak it ,like the ancient town of maloula .


minimal resistance ? am I supposed to fight in a war that I don't belong to ?


lol expansionist culture ? so you think I'm a threat to poland's culture ? oh man :P wait until you see my colleagues in the university that come from different places and are from different ethnicity .


why do you think that I might contribute negatively ? why not positively ?

I didn't have the chance to read what guest00 wrote about me ,I'll read it in the random chat thread ,and give my response .

guest00 : i'm not muslim if you're implying thatThanks be to God! Thank You, thank You, thank You... (but still agnostic) Just between us, will Warsaw burn?

lol ,I don't know if this information makes you feel safe ,but I was born catholic .

guest00 quoting me :to every racist here listen : I'm 3/8 syriac (original people of syria) 1/8 croatian,1/8 armenian, 1/4 polish and 1/8 greek ,and i'm coming to poland ,so beware !!!,i'll probably be a cause to an unstable poland in the near future .Beware, Yurup!!! Here we come!

also to make you feel safe (but I don't care anyway ) just to show you how ignorant you are ,syriacs are christians who still speak the language of jesus .

4,P3 ,thank you guys .

WB you have no idea :P I think europeans will have a heart attack once they see how syrians and arabs drive .


yep ,but it's decent enough for me

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]

I've noticed that the number of old people is too high ,I also felt that people who are in their 30s -40s are rarely seen ,don't know why ... maybe they're working .

Today I started doing the papers to get my polish ID ,my mom is with me (speaks polish ) and helped me ,also people were very helpful and friendly there ,it's well organized (comparing it to syria where it's complete disaster ) .for some reason ,my ID is only valid if my temporary residence is valid ,I thought it doesn't matter (since i'm polish ) .

Polish food is really good (I eat nearly everything so don't take my opinion on food :P ) ,it's nice how self served polish food restaurants are available everywhere .


I agree tygrys ,I found it more civilized to obey the law like that .it's funny because it's different from what i'm used to,but I didn't say it's wrong ,but I think they could make it better ,because sometimes I just stand there for 3-5 minutes and the road is completely clear (even when I activate the traffic light ) .


i'm not muslim if you're implying that


I have no problem with taking off my shoes ,but I was late to my connections ,that's why it was a little bit annoying to me .

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]


hey :D ,maybe i'll visit you one day :P because I must go to the syrian embassy in warsaw to register myself


yeah ,again i'm not talking about forests because there are forests in syria and turkey, i'm talking about urban areas .

The public transportation system is awesome and easy to use ,they have a website with a map that shows tram and bus routes and it's in english too (a plus since I don't speak polish ) ,it's well organized and it's fast .


I figured :P


that explains it


been to romania and italy when I was 4-5 years old ,and been to turkey 4 years ago (I don't consider turkey as europe but some people do )


yesterday


International business at Poznan university of economics (planning on doing a master in finance after finishing my bachelor )

Study / My experience in Poland (Poznan) as a student who recently moved from Syria [117]


well yeah :P don't get me wrong ,syria has lots of forests etc ... we have trees on the side of the roads ... but the trees and parks in damascus are lame compared to poznan


I won't compare between syrians and poles :P because we drive like maniacs (including me ) .

agreed :P

News / Poland's universities go up in world rankings [23]

those rankings are often not accurate ,it's preferable if you compare faculties and not universities .
for example , if you want to compare business universities , you use eduniversal-ranking.com the official ranking of business universities .

History / A potential war: Poland vs Lithuania. Who would win? [17]

Poland's military is ranked 6th in europe after GB ,France ,Germany ,Italy and Ukraine .

History / A potential war: Poland vs Lithuania. Who would win? [17]

If you're comparing the military forces between both countries ,poland would win ,but if we're talking about a realistic scenario ,poland won't attack lithuana and vice versa because they're both in the NATO and EU .
