Travel / I am Travelling to Warsaw in November and want to stay close to the nightlife [5]

Bristol hotel indeed. Even closer is Sofitel. Gromada/Dom Chłopa is also an option and probably much cheaper. You should be hitting Mazowiecka st. clubs/bars, then Platinium and perhaps Opera night clubs. They are all not far from those hotels.

Incredible.... a descendant of polish speaking ślązaki and names himself with a german name ... O tempora, o mores!

Travel / where to book train from Warsaw Chopin Airport Station to Gdynia [3]

I seldom use this mode of transportation, however since we're off season here, please arrive at the railway station, look around, find your connection and buy a ticket :)

Also, you can buy your ticket while on the train, just be sure you have PLN money on you. :-)

You're all trying to scare the poor chap? Is that it ? :-). If driving across Europe was that complicated as you describe no one would ever travel anywhere :).

Law / All 4 of my grandparents were born in Poland - Canadian living in the UK, looking for Polish Citizenship [12]


I hope that you are indeed able to try. If your grandparents were citizens and at least one of your parents as well then you ARE a citizen and indeed you need simply to file for confirmation of that fact (a lengthy matter in itself). If none of your parents was a citizen (eg. never bothered to obtain confirmation thereof), you stand no chance of confirmation. But then there are other ways to obtain citizenship, however complicated they may be. Go to any polish embassy websites and read relevant information.

A nice recipe for disaster, indeed.

News / Characterizing Poland's political parties [33]


LOL. That joke made my day! :-) Otherwise Polonius3, you are quite right with those labels, and PIS indeed is socialist when it comes to economic matters. In fact they don't care for those matters as they know nothing about them.

Genealogy / Coats of arms of Polish cities [51]

Not at all. I love śledzie of (and from) Gdynia... especially as I live in wawa now :-). A nice COA indeed and a recently designed one too :)

I know of a much swifter and more successful career. However they are in Vegas now... so can't even try to lure them to here. Oh, and one of them is not even from PL but from Ukr.

Law / Car Insurance in Poland (A/C) [32]

Strange. Somehow, my insurers have always asked me if anyone else but me would drive the vehicle. They are specifically inquiring if anyone under 26 yo. would be using it. I always say, no, no... and they adjust their rate accordingly.

Exactly!

Life / Under-river tube a mistake! Tunnel flood in Warsaw. [13]

The subway tunnel option is the cheapest in fact. This has been widely discussed in press or tv. The cost of removing buildings/roads in Powiśle, in order to build a bridge would be far greater.
