Travel / Airport authorities in Poland [8]
Can someone explain the difference between the airport authorities in Poland, (Border Guard & Police), and how they equate or operate differently to the UK airport authorities, ie: Police officers, Immigration officers, Customs officers & Security officers.

Travel / Krynica Morska - I'm planning on visiting this place very soon - any suggestions? [5]
A friend has told me about this town and I'm planning on visiting this place very soon - any suggestions on:
Best way to get there from Gdansk airport?
Where to stay?
How much it will cost per night?
And obviously, where are the best bars ?

Travel / Hotel / Hostel in Wroclaw in the city centre - any recomendations? [13]
Hi,
Wroclaw is going to be our next visit. We've got time off work and booked the flights. We just need a half decent mid range hotel or hostel in the centre for 4 days - can anyone suggest somewhere for some young at heart 40 year olds? Many thanks

Life / What do you generally think about Poles? [62]
People are people . . . .
I have some good friends that are from Poland, and they are great intergraters, they are hard workers, they have excellent senses of humour and blimey do they know how to party!
However, people are people . . . . . there are good and bad from every corner of the world and in all walks of life!

Travel / Travel tips (Katowice, Gdansk, Krakow, Zakopane, Warsaw, Wroclaw, Sopot) [5]
Hi,
I'm looking at spending a month in Poland in September / October 2012.
My intention is to fly into Katowice, spend a month travelling around and then fly out of Gdansk.
I did something similar 5 years ago, using busses & trains and visited Krakow, Zakopane, Warsaw, Wroclaw & Sopot.
Can anyone recommend any 'must see sights / places' that I can build into my journey.
I'm on a budget, but flexible and very adventurous!
Many Thanks

Study / Opinions about '2 weeks intensive Polish course' [26]
Merged: 2 week Polish language course - any experience?
I'm English, and my spoken Polish is basic, but my friends say my pronunciation is very good.
I'm thinking about enrolling on a 2 week residential course, probably in Sopot.
Due to work, I'm unable to take more time off unfortunately.
My question is - would a 2 week residential Polish course be beneficial, in order for me to fill in the gaps and assist my sentence construction for conversational Polish?
Does anyone know of anyone who has done similar, and can they offer any advice?

Life / Emigrate / Immigrate to Poland? I don't need to work. [33]
I'm seriously thinking about selling up - selling my house and all my useless possessions - and moving to Poland.
I have travelled the world, and lived in many countries, however, I have developed a genuine interest with Poland.
I have visited Poland as a backpacker tourist several times and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences, which makes me want more.
However I am aware of the harsh realities that exist in respect of visiting a place and living in a place.
So here my question begins - where do I go? where do I avoid? I don't need to work, but the option would be nice. I like rural and scenic, but don't we all?

Life / Emigrate / Immigrate to Poland? I don't need to work. [33]
Apologies for my absence.
I'm soon to be retired with a reasonable pension at the tender age of 49, which is why I wouldn't have to work.
I'm fascinated with languages and have been learning Polish, on and off, for several years.
My trips to Poland have been many and varied, but one thing remains constant and that is a 'feeling of happiness' when I'm in Poland.
I know there was trouble in the Garden of Eden, and I'm not looking for paradise. But I genuinely like Poland and the people of Poland, their friendliness has been overwhelming at times. I doubt it's because I have cash to throw about, because I don't, I travel light on a tight budget and am at best described as frugal.
I have travelled the world, lived every moment, met some awful people and met some delightful people - I'm far from being naive in any respect, which is why I posted this thread - I wanted to see what words of wisdom I could gather from those in the know, those living the reality of Poland on a full time day to day basis.
The log cabin dream in the country side is of course a dream, I know the harsh reality of such exists only in films and for the millionaire brigade, but I'd opt for something similar or like as opposed to the hustle and bustle of city life.
With regard to the community spirit, well if there is none, it will be on parr with what we currently have in the UK. I revolve in a society where no one has time to care, but I survive just fine.
I apologise if my post has caused some misunderstandings, but each and every response is massively appreciated, I really do value them, thank you.

Real Estate / Contemplating moving to Poland with the intention of buying a property out-right and living there [36]
Max,
You are not alone, I'm just like you, an English man who is seriously contemplating the move.
I totally understand and share your passion.
Lock, stock and everything else is my intention.
I shall follow this thread, and wish you all the very best of 'British' ;-)
