Study / Wroclaw or Krakow or Bialystok to study in Poland? [36]


It's pretty in its way, but still a much smaller place than Wroclaw with much less to do and somewhat more old-fashioned in attitudes. I go there a lot and it reminds me of stepping back to the 80s.

Study / Wroclaw or Krakow or Bialystok to study in Poland? [36]

I agree. Wroclaw is the nicest - it has a sort of Mitteleuropa feeling and is also popular with students. Kraków is stuffed with tourists but has a good nightlife etc however it isn't as friendly as Wroclaw. I like Bialystok however it's a much smaller place and as people have said, it does have a problem with racism.

This is true, though in this particular case there is a lot of unwarranted negativity - Poland can be a great place to come and study and not everyone wants to do certain subjects - the world needs philosophers, historians, etc as well as mathematicians.

The voters here do not care about that and Poland continues to recognise Kosovo.

Yet plenty of people choose to study abroad and can easily weigh up the various options.


A bigger hallmark of insanity would be writing long screeds at least a hundred times in different threads here all saying much the same thing. It's as if you don't think foreign people should come here.

There's little chance of them staying in power after the 500+ scheme ends. Hence their attempts to increase revenue to keep it going.

Anyone would think you were trying to deter him, Dominic, as you try to deter so many others who want to study in Poland. Yousif would do well to click on your profile and see the same thing repeated like a broken record.

It's actually one of the few of the huge range of 'western' breakfast cereals that is sold in Poland. Presumably people buy it. For the record I don't much like it either and prefer a more traditional breakfast here (though not jajecznica).

I think so, plus also the convenience for people short of time. And of course the product (sugary with bits of stuff in) does suit some people's taste here.


Useful, though I sometimes need a magnifier to see it.

Generally instant ones in plastic pots pots and a range of several flavours, becoming very popular in Poland, somewhere that has long liked anything with artificial flavours and a high sugar content. Perhaps licensing Ready Brek with a marketing campaign would introduce something less bad.

Never tried one myself, however they seem to fly off the shelf at the local supermarket.

I'm sure Yousif is capable of weighing up the various issues and options.

Anyone who would rant about 'sluts' and use such language about women certainly has

Personally I prefer thinner soups - botwinka and clear barszcz in Poland for example. I do think that British oxtail would go down well in Poland - there could be a market for that in the shops here. The same with British cullen skink - a heavier soup but one that Poles would like.

Weetabix and other American style cereals no. Not nice products and in any case the taste here would be for the sugary ones. One item that has appeared on the shelves here over the past few years is instant porridge in different flavours. Not something I'd buy, but instead of those little plastic pots, a canny housewife here with kids to feed and not much money or time might well buy Ready Brek.

Decent human beings. The days are long gone where a woman needed to ask a man's permission for anything.

No, Po, you are claiming that about Polish women. You are sick.


Why should a woman fit your 'average'.

Cullen Skink, Cock-a-leekie. Not flavoured water at all. The tomato soup and the oxtail that people make in the UK is actually quite a bit richer and more complex than the equivalent here. I sometimes make watercress soup and people here really like it.


That's somehow never appealed, like flaczki there's the yuk factor. I see fish and chips is becoming more popular here and although frozen battered fish is only available (as far as I know) in Marks & Sparks and Makro, even Biedronka now sell a (sort of) British-style breaded type.

You 'gather' very incorrectly in that case.

I've known people here who won't let their kids eat ice cream.

Another maybe for the market here: frozen curries. More and more people in Poland like Indian food but don't always want to make it from scratch.
