Travel / Poland-My 9-day experience [239]

My first post but I am keen reader of PF for the last 6-8 months...(since I started to think seriously about return to my old country for good)...

After reading the whole tread, I am surprised that almost everyone (except obviously Torq) failed to recognise that AussieSheila is not who she/he said she/he was and perhaps she/he never visited Poland after all (difficult to imagine that anyone 14years old + and with any above 30% of average intelligence would make such shallow, biased comments after 9 days in any country ) ....thus the whole purpose of her post was just to stir PF community and create the opportunity for further bagging of Poland and its people.... typical troll behavior

GOOD!!

Can,t have it all your own way always. Learn to yield a little. Like Wroclaw says , see it through the eyes of an outsider.

No good !!

Although I disagree with many Torq past posts I (and no doubts many others) always liked to read them... :)
Pity, he has gone but somehow it is understandable... at least moderators should be able to recognize trollish behavior :)

Travel / Poland-My 9-day experience [239]

Drunk old people.

Yes...my wife is visiting Krakow at the moment and she complained about that too but .... I can point to places in Australia where you see invariably drunk beggars everyday...places like that exist almost in any country...perhaps in Poland more than in others but as Seanus is saying

I saw many more in Scotland

:)

every places has its negatives

This is the key...I live in arguably one of the nicest city in the world but I could point to all negatives from OP existing here too ....except perhaps lack of waves :)

Love / Polish girls fall for Indian guys ? [217]

AussieSheila

Indian men will work their arse off to keep you locked up at home and be his housewife , while polish men will ***** you out to pay for his booze. Pick your choice.

Did you come to this conclusion after 6 days trip to Poland? You're proving again that you're the troll and should be kicked out of this forum

Australia / Moving back to Poland after 30 years in Australia. [4]

Well, decision has been made. I am not looking somebody helps me with any opinion whether I am doing right or wrong decision. It took me almost 5 years to convince my wife we should return to old country. I am just looking if anybody has some info which might help me with logistics of the move. I have been living in wonderful Australia for 30 years, halve of my life. It is fantastic country (but not as good as many people think : )). We had a good, successful life here but we are not happy (especially me).

I have been reading PF for the last 2 years. I do not want to write long story about why I want to go back or why I am not happy in Australia (essentially it isn't such wonderful place as many people think and I am missing Poland too much. Also my only daughter lives between Europe and USA for the last 6 years and the chance of her going back to Australia is close to zilch). In short the plan is as follow:

- I am giving up my full time work (I might still continue as a consultant if I still fancy working) around June-July 2011 (this is the time which major project I am leading is finishing)

- Around 1st of August I am arriving to Krakow with wife for 2 months to stay there and taste the life in Poland (we own small apartment close to Rynek which is still being renovated but surely the renovation will be finished before our arrival)

- Then we go back to Sydney, put our Sydney house for sale, pack everything up and move to Poland, our old country.

- For the first 6-12 months we will stay in our small apartment (2 rooms + windowless kitchen and bathroom around 55m2). Then if we think we love the life there we will either build the house or buy bigger apartment somewhere (or go back to Australia :) )

- I will not have to work.

I have several questions and I would really appreciate if I could get following info, especially from people who have gone through the same:

- Anybody has any idea how much cost sending container full of furniture to Poland from Sydney?
- Anybody can recommend moving company which provides this service?
- What is approximate cost?
- Anybody took permanently native birds (pets) from Australia to Europe?
- What are the rules/ laws? (Australian and Polish if any)
- What I can expect to pay for taking 3 birds with me to Poland?
- I am 60 and my wife 52 years old. Would we be able to get decent health insurance?
- How much approximately good health insurance would cost us?

I would really appreciate if somebody could give me any info regarding these questions.
