Life / How is the acceptation of foreigners in Poland? [29]

Hi everyone!

My name is Edson and I'm from Brazil.

Last year, I've been in Poland to visit Auschwitz camp but unfortunatelly I spent just 1 day in your country.

My 1st impression was the best possible. I enjoyed each minute there and the few people that I talked there was absolutelly friendly and helpful, but I was just a tourist in touristic spots.

I'm wondering how is for polish live together with foreigners? I mean what if I move to Poland and work there? Is easy to make friends? Are you open to other cultures and people from abroad? Are you helpful with the language due to it's hard to understand in very beginning for foreigners? Is a foreigner accepted in social events like birthday's party and stuff like that?

I love to try new ways of life so each time I go abroad I try to live like locals, if its possible.

Poland is a place that I have in my mind as an option to move in the future.

I almost forget! I'm going to Krakow in november to runway from de summer in Brazil lol.

Bye. See ya!

About that I guess I won't got problems due to I'm pretty like polish guys. My grandmother parents were from Europe. I'm white, green eyes.

Although I seems european I'm concerned just because I'm foreigner. I've been in some places in US where they didn't are friendly just because you are foreigner.

Life / How is the acceptation of foreigners in Poland? [29]

Hi Bieganski. How are you doing?

For me move to another country is not a economic question. I have a good job here in Brazil, I live in a good house and has everything I want. I'm not a unemployed, unskilled foreigner in a quest for job.

About the violence I'm not sure about those figures but yes, we have a crescent level of violence here mainly in guettos areas. In Brazil the politicians are very corrupts. They steal people money and to get worst the law has failures that protect them.

My move is not like mexicans to US for survive crossing the ocean in a float. I just like to live different experiences. We're talking about Poland but of course there are so many countries that I would like to live such as Canada, Holland & China.

I'm not a specific land or flag defender. I preffer be labeled as a "world citizen". I respect any country, any culture & any religion. Of course I have my own beliefs, but I respect all points of view.

But I understand that now is not a good moment to move to Europe due to the economic crisis and the gov must look after his own people first indeed, and I respect that as well.

How are you planning to get a work permit? Or to put that another way: what skill(s) can you offer which one of the tens of millions of unemployed citizens of the EU cannot offer?

Hi Harry. So far I don't have any concrete plan about that. The company that I work has a branch in Poland, I guess in Krakow. Maybe it's a good start point to move running some projects there.

By the way, I'm an IS manager. I have experience with systems such as SAP, mobile tecnology, CRM, TMS etc. I love learn new languages. So far speak english, spanish, french & portuguese.

Regards,
Edson

Life / Temperament of Poles - my observations [23]

I worked with Poles but here in Brazil. They came here to help us in a implementation of a global system.

They were 2 guys very nice, easy going person. In our free time, ever making jokes and extremely helpful.

As tourist in Poland I got good memories too.

That was my experience.

Travel / Krakow November! [16]

Merged: What to do in krakow - november

Hi guys.

I would like to know what is hot in Krakow during the day and also the night? (events, concerts, nightclubs, bars, sports and also romantic places to go out with my wife)

I'm concerned because november is the very beginning of winter, so maybe there is no options of nightclubs and bars opened right?

So locals and turists pls share with me your hot spots!

Edson
