Love / Polish girls hard in relationships [156]


It's true that some men can't handle woman.

Life / My own thoughts about life in Poland (have lived here for two years) [133]


After living and studying 3 years in Poland, I agree with this. But it's not unique to PL.


The same as in all Western countries.


This is very true.


Also many young Poles think it's difficult to be "different" in Poland. You must be just like everybody else to be accepted.

However, things are slowly changing.

History / Was there sex in Poland during communist regime? [60]

Of course they didn't have sex. All Polish "persons" born 1946-1990 are communist robots.

On the left buttock you will find a tattoo "Tysiąclecie Państwa Polskiego" and a batch-number.

They were produced by the same company that made Polonez.

Life / My own thoughts about life in Poland (have lived here for two years) [133]

Some things are very expensive in Poland; eg. electronic equipment, jeans etc. But the biggest problem is the low salaries.

Many things are cheaper in Germany, even though the average German salary is significantly higher than in PL.

Language / Polish filler words? [24]

No, właśnie, dooookładnie, ooooo, uuuuuu, masakra (without any real meaning) etc.

UK, Ireland / Ive been in the UK for 6 days to relocate and im going back to Poland. [281]

When we talk about relocating and racism, we must know what we are talking about.

I'm trying my best not to be a racist.

But to be honest, I think many (not all) immigrants are more racist than native people (in my country; Sweden).

What does 'racist' actually mean? It's an interesting question.

Is it racist to say that immigrants from outside Europe commit more crimes than native Europeans?
Is it racist to say it if you can prove it with statistics?

Is it racist when immigrants attack (verbally/physically) people who are a minority?
Is it racist when immigrants attack (verbally/physically) people who are not a minority?

Travel / Camping in the Baltic Coast area, too cold? [16]


Nights and early mornings are rather cold.

Po polsku / Zwykli obcokrajowcy mówiący po polsku.\ Ordinary foreigners speak PL language [12]

It's actually true.

Life / What's the spiritual atmosphere like in Poland these days? [12]


Yes, especially on the countryside.


There are still many in woj. warmińsko-mazurskie, which once (not so long time ago) had more protestantic than catholic churches.

Language / "który" - relative pronoun question [12]


This is why 'a native speaker' doesn't always mean 'a good teacher'.

E.g. grammar, rules and structures are usually better explained by people who learned the language as adults.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]


Which one?

Perła Premium? I have never seen it. Where..?

Travel / How much is a cab: Warsaw airport to the bus station? [27]

Bus is highly recommended. Not much slower than a taxi, but extremely much cheaper.

Love / Possibility of Marriage with a Polish lady [96]

Is it possible? Yes.
Is it common? No.
Is it easy? No.

It's possible. But as you know the cultures are totally different. Take it easy before you know more about her feelings.

Travel / How much is a cab: Warsaw airport to the bus station? [27]

This is an important thread.

Taxi (taxameter) from the airport to the Central station costs 25-30 zl.

However, it's very common that people inside the airport try to get like 60 zl. Never accept anything else than taxameter.

Life / Costs of living Warsaw vs the provinces [8]

Restaurants, public transport, taxi etc. are more expensive in the biggest cities.

Law / Red Tape - Polish drivers licenses [7]

Well well well, it looks like you can drive vans up to 7.5 t. And minibuses with up to 16 seats (with a maximum length not exceeding 8 m). Since C1 and D1 has been accepted in the whole EU now.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_driving_licence#Categories_valid_in_all_EU_countries.5B2.5D


However, it's very cheap to get different driving licenses in PL compared to Western Europe.

Food / Counterfeit alcohol in Poland? [9]


If it's not wine, it's correct. Because it means more than 0,2l high-% alc. They only write more/less than 0,2 l.

For wine you have only more/less than 0,5 l.

Food / Counterfeit alcohol in Poland? [9]

It's very safe to buy it in normal shops. They would never dare to sell counterfeit alcohol. There is a tax-paper-strip on the top of all bottles.

I have lived 3 years in Poland, I have never seen any counterfeit alcohol in normal shops.

News / POLAND LEAVING WHAT COUNTRY FOR A BETTER LIFE?? [73]

It's not a secret that it's very difficult for foreigners to get a job in PL, if they don't have a rare skill that is highly demanded at moment.

With rare I mean something that not many Poles have. Since Polish companies prefers to hire Poles.

Life / Bollywood in Poland [32]

Indian film productions have become popular in Europe over the last 5-10 years.

Polish people have a tendency to emigrate to (almost) all parts of the world.
They say that there are quite a few Poles living in India now. But less Poles than in Brazil or Australia.

Law / Red Tape - Polish drivers licenses [7]


According to the new EU-classification this means just B.

B includes old C(1) and D(1) up to only 3.5 ton.

C and D are for "unlimited" weight (Eg. TIR).

So what you actually have is the new B-licence.You can drive cars, vans and (mini)buses up to 3.5 ton.

Dont forget A - which is motorcycle. If you get a mc-licence you will get a new licence where is only written "A, B".

News / Poland needs four children per family for sustain survivor and development [46]


What Poland needs is better use of its resources. Not more people. A rapid increase in population would increase the unemployment rate.

Poland also needs a stronger economic growth to get tax-money to welfare. Many hospitals (including "mine") have extremely big economic problems now.

More small companies and increase their incitement to hire 1 more person. If every small company would hire only 1 more person, the tax-money that can be used for welfare would be taken to a whole new level. And the expensive unemployment would decrease a lot.

However, in a longer time perspective, more young people are needed to manage the pensions. This is one of the biggest economical problem in many Western countries. Too many old people, and too few young ones. An economists nightmare.

UK, Ireland / A polite request for your help re: your personal experiences in the UK [8]

There arent so many Poles working in the UK on this forum.

Love / POLISH WOMEN THE MOST SEXUALLY ACTIVE IN EUROPE...! [54]


Bad survey. This is not the highest rank in Europe at all.

Travel / Which train in Poland am I less likely to get shanked on? [30]


Now there are 3 main standards for longer trips:
1. Intercity
2. TLK
3. Intercity

That changed the whole system, so a little difficult to compare. But TLK is okey. They usually have AC and rather comfortable seats.

However if you want new and really comfortable trains, Intercity is the only option. But you pay for more than you get i.m.o.

Travel / Which train in Poland am I less likely to get shanked on? [30]


He is going to travel 8-9 hours. With Interregio this means severe butt ache. And on a hot summer day it means getting fried.

Travel / Which train in Poland am I less likely to get shanked on? [30]


This is because the comfort in IR is very low. IR is always less expensive.
