Hi

Thanks for inputs,which is the best way I can look for apartment, looking at mid size apt good enough for 2 as of now. Any website you can suggest where I can do some pre study.

@All: Thanks for good inputs

I think my wife will not be working initially, also its good if she joins me later may be after 6 months, so its better.

Also not looking at significant savings, but good enough to add each month towards rainy days. is 1000 Pln possible?

also, 2000PLN for apartment is including rent and utilities.
so its,

2000 : Accommodations
700 : Groceries
200:Entertainment
55+100: Transport & Internet

I am missing anything? Any suggestions?

Also which Area in Wroclaw is good to lookout for apartments, I am willing to travel more by public bus, if place is good and accommodation is cheaper

Thanks all, so I safely assume this is possible and consider going ahead with formalities, I have been informed Monday I will have to submit some list of documents so will wait.

So as of now, my wife will not come with me, I will come alone and see things how it goes.

only worry for me is my wife, we both are working here(both in IT), so schedule is like morning 8 go to office and come back by 10 PM, normal schedule for weekday, weekend eat out and visit some place.

So if she comes along and since she isnt working, I dont know , it will be very different for her and there will one person earning, so thats my main concern,if she will like it or not, place is beautiful then back home but language barrier things can be difficult.

May be later she try to find some job if possible.

Thanks
Pai

I agree, i dont know, may be something part time to keep her busy, because new place+ no language + no work can be too much for her as she is work loving person

Polish offices are usually nine to five, have you got any reason to think that you'll be working 13-hour days in the job in Wroclaw? If so, 6,500zl is too low.

Actually I work CET time,so my time is 12 to 21 IST, but need to leave by 10.30(traffic is normal here, 1hr min for 15km) so 9 to 5 is real deal.

If your entertainment budget is 200zl per month, you will not be able to eat out every weekend. You could very easily spend 200zl per head on a three-course meal plus wine in Wroclaw.

Eat out for me means normal local Deli, rarely high class restaurant and definitely no wine,she hates to drink alcohol, so can I say 500PLN for normal sight seeing around or outside town and regular food at normal place to eat?

Also if your wife is programmer, then probably she will find job too.

Yes she is Flash/web developer
Thanks
