Love / Are 98% of young Polish girls emotionally unstable and mood changing? [191]

<a challenger appears>

I kissed 267 girls in just last month. Only 57,3033706% plus 60 suggested meeting afterwards but never called. What is happening with todays youth? I'm joining the "Are Polish girls emotionally instable" club and demending a serious answer to the clubs petition!

Love / Polish guys who have never had girlfriends [71]

People gain a lot of experience while beeing in a relationship, he wasn't in any relationship earlier so he will be gaining this experience while beeing with you which isn't a really good thing at all.. if you are an adult then you will probably understand that. The first relationship ( and maybe even some more ) is usually discovering what we really need and what we expect from the other half.. and that might be blood sweat and tears..

Work / What jobs pay 10,000 zlotych per month? and Where can i find one? :o) [101]

Well, I do believe what veteran forum members say, I'm just keeping my distance while hearing things from Guests or people with 20 posts, or those who are saying that having a salary of under 5000pln is poverty - who are just trying to insult others. Well educated natives from uk or usa can probably earn a lot as english teachers because they are a rare breed in here.. I'm rooting for anyone who is working hard to make a living despite the salary

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

Guys when you ask "salary xxxx" is ok type what your level of living is ok for you.. because just giving the amount money isn't enough to state anything serious : o

History / POLISH MEMORIES OF CHERNOBYL...April 26th 1986 [32]

Because I was just a little kid then I only remember my parents talking about it much much later, about that commie gov informed about the whole situation only after western media started talking about it, so many people reacted with a big delay, it was a sunny hot day in Poland and many people were walking freely, my mum took me for my first day in kindergarten, she said later when I was older, she would never do that if she knew. There was also a huge commotion about taking iodine these days.

News / Juwenalia - holidays for students in Poland (updated) [20]

I was attending few "Juwenalias" in Gliwice, organized by Silesian University of technology, they are called "igry" here. I have to say that for most students it's just an occasion for heavy over the top drinking ( well actually every event is ; ) ), only thing I remember are huge hangovers, and destroyed rooms in dorms as an afterparty.. nice time, but with years I feel less and less attracted to it, performing bands are more and more generic..

have fun : )

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Sticky means that it's always on top of the forum board. In most forums there's a special "sticky" section with topics that regard certain reappearing subjects, they usually include some kind of a tutorial, and advices, hence it's a shame to loose them over time.

Not to dash away from the main topic, I'll have to say I was really fond of my teachers teaching methods in Gliwice, in the British Council English school, he's name was Jamie, he was a scottish expat and he was really creative, every lesson included some kind of a game, story telling all mingled with standard teaching lessons ( every person has to do his amount of formal and informal writing stuff ), a really great and interesting formula

Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]

Jamie, when was he around?

It was 3 to 4 years ago, I'm not exactly sure, do you know him? I don't think he was teaching Callan, there was lots of grammar from time to time..

Yeah, that's exactly him, he was mainly teaching in Kato from what I know, but I attended classes in Gliwice. From what I remember he moved to Spain or somewhere.. do you have any contact with him?

Work / Software Jobs in Poland [31]

It's a good place to get cheap labour, outsourcing to western european and american countries is probably the biggest software development market in here.. students, or just after graduation programming for a penny..

Travel / Starbucks in Poland? [149]

Has anyone been to "Coffee Heaven" in Krakow?

I've been to some in Katowice, the coffee is worse than in Starbucks, the same with pastry - and it's still quite expensive... I can recommend "Cynamon" cafe but I only know about the one in Katowice and Gdynia : o

Life / Russian rap vs Polish rap [87]

- Peja

Come on, that's one of the worse polish rappers out there, his lyrics are simple and dumb, rhyming about fighting the police and living on the street is something that only appeals to rebellious 14y olds.

Work / I want to move to Poland (but of course we need to find a good job) [117]

I can tell you that the whole thing about higher education comes from times just after communism, during the communism period in poland nobody was actualy trying to get higher education. Most people were finishing technical collage courses or work courses. When communism ended and state companies were deregulated and new private companies emerged - in that time workers with a university education were being promoted over people who stopped their education without going to uni. I heard plenty of such life stories from my parents, older people who were never promoted just because they didn't have the paper, seeing youngsters who they worked with overtaking them.

I think that's why there's such notion of getting even the crappiest masters degree...

Oh and I forgot, another reason for going to a uni was running away from the army - at least just until lately.

Food / PIZZA & KETCHUP served only in Poland? [159]

pizzerias that is common

They do that in some pizzeries, but from what I heards from my friends nobody really likes it. People generally find those pizzerias too lazy to come up with their own recipe. Best pizzerias have their own sauces.

On the other hand most Poles put Ketchup on many other things like toasts or rice...

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]

And these days Poles get their own back by not allowing foreigners to even own the land of their choice, let alone build a house on it!

Can't see blood on anyone's hands because of this, it's irrelevant to the topic. You haven't given any links or sources - therefore it's drivel.

As for all the talk about minorities, Ukrainians lead by OUN-B, commited a genocide on Polish minorities in Wolyn in 1943 just to win any upcoming elections. There's still a lot of hatred in both polish and ukrainian people living near ukrainian-polish border.

BB I really don't understand where do you find the nerve to state your cheeky comments excusing prussian annexation and telling us how it wasn't as bad "because", which German deeds will you start to justify next?
