Travel / Buying Train Tickets online - I'm going to Poland soon [18]

Are you flying with LOT ? If so then ask them to book train tickets for you .If not , then just arrive at the train station and buy ticket on the spot 2hrs before the departure , they are never sold out ...they are expensive for average polish Joes and online booking is pointless for anyone, its just a money grab .I have traveled to PL many times ,used their PKP 90 percent of the time and never bought train ticket ahead of time , never been left on the Peron either :}

Law / I think my son's Mum is trying to get a passport for our son. Can she do this without my permission [3]

How do I find out if my Son's mum is trying to get a passport for my son? I know she needs my permission but can she go though court without me?

First of all you need to provide some more info about your divorce / separation or your current relationship to the "Mum".
I will try to give you some advice and from my personal experiences :
Do not go to court unless you have solid evidence that "Mum" is trying to obtain passport for your son , without your permission which you said "she needs " . Why does she need your permission ? Do you have legal separation agreement which says that without your consent she can not obtain passport for your son? If not then there is nothing stopping her from doing so , you on the other hand can go to passport issuing office and tell them that you do not agree with your son having a passport because ...........I am sure that they will put a stop on the process of issuing him a passport , until you agree to it , or she has some sort of legal document stating that your word in this matter means "nothing" ( unlikely scenario ) .

Have you considered asking her straight up if she is trying to obtain passport for your son?
Now , as I said earlier without knowing more about your relationship to "Mum" and legal agreements between you two regarding child custody its is impossible to give you solid advice . One more thing , no matter how badly you hate "Mum" and how badly you want to screw her life , keep your child matters as priority #1 please .

some reputation say that polish ppl racist:(

They are just as much racist as any other Europeans , few bad apples thats all , just mind your business ,study hard with smile on your face and I am sure you will make lots of new polish friends . :)

Speaking of which ...I remember when I went to Taiwan years ago to some small town , people were looking at me like I was an allien , taller than most of them , blond hair , blue eyes ...it made me feel so uncomfortable , their staring felt like they were saying " look at that big weirdo " , but after a week I just got used to them .

Classifieds / Monster X tour in Poland [4]

Is it worth seeing ? Well , to me once was enough , I went cheap on tickets ( not recommended ) and got what I paid for ... my seat was behind "the goal" , so everytime they would start new race fumes would blow in my direction , could not see how fast they were going ,would have much better view seating on the side , could not see graphics on their trucks only briefly when they were turning around . Overall I found the show a bit boring , during half time they had motocross stunt drivers doing all sorts of tricks , then they were throwing souvenirs to the crowd , show ended sort of "that's all folks , good night " .After the show there was autograph signing and chance to see monster trucks a bit closer , after 1hr waiting in line .

News / Turkey abolished visas for Poles. [80]

BTW
Turkey has been hot destination especially for Poles for very long time , I remember back in the 70'and 80' we were hooked on Turkish goods in particular clothing , which were smuggled to Poland and then sold at "bazar" or "butik" in every major city with huge price mark-up , but that never stopped us from buying those very trendy jean jackets which could also be turned into vests ,or those colorful wool like sweaters ? Some cool sh%t remember ?...everybody had them :)

Life / Want to become an expat to Poland? Consider your options before going abroad. [18]

- real estate deals gone bad rather than providing guaranteed upside for you
- not giving work to people who dont speak the language

- not paying back the loans to EU ( potentially)
- serious attitude and mentality problems
- not enough changes since joined EU
I am sure there is more where that came from , clearly LL has a problem with living in PL . Cant wait to hear more ...

Life / Whats with going to sauna naked in Poland? [41]

My clothes were sneakers,shorts and a tanktop as I always like to go to sauna for 10 minutes for a warmup up before work out.Is that something strange to do?

You got to be kidding , right ? You asking if thats strange ? Warming up in sauna before workout ? Thats the dumbest thing I ever heard :):) What ...are you warming up in sauna before going for a dip in liquid nitrogen :)?

Most of the gyms I attended , had locker rooms ,saunas and shower facilities , they were always separate for men and women , now on mens side anyone going in the sauna would be naked with the towel to put it down before sitting or with towel wrapped around the waste . I am in Canada and if you are trying to tell me that in US people go to sauna in clothes then you are full of it . Do you shower in your workout clothes too ?

pigsy
"BTW dont the bare feet lead to spread of disease like fungus and bacteria"

Yes possible ,but very unlikely , and if you think that sneakers will protect you from contracting disease through your feet while in sauna then you are very wrong ..."they will not ,as you entered sauna with disease already in you. How you ask ?"

Ever thought about door knob or door handle on sauna door when you were going in ? 😉 or coins or bills when you were paying for sauna usage?Think about that ,rather than little mushroom farm between your toes 😃

Just trying to give you perspective 😉
Cheers

Law / Divorce in Poland - fault - rights to property predating the marriage [34]

Remember , lawyers are very capable of twisting words , so be careful , just a scenario for you : "say you both live in your house as married couple , then kids come along , your family grows from 2 to 4 ...all of the sudden she wants to divorce you , she wins custody of both children and you have access to see them twice a week . You tell her and the kids to move out from your home right ?" Well ...hold on a second , why does single mother with 2 kids have to move out and live in "1bedroom condo" while you enjoy "300 square meter house" by yourself ? Is that fair? Her lawyer may ask .

Judges tend to take mother's and children side , and you never know what the decision might be .
Hope it never happens , but ...
Prenuptial agreement is the way to go .

Life / Streaming online Polish TV [85]

It works fine for me
.
But if you really want to spend money go to WEEB.TV , depending where you located they will provide you with somewhat reliable service at price . For example if you in Poland 3 month subscription 37.99 PLN , the same package in Canada will cost you around 120 PLN ....other countries most likely have different rates from the Polish one .

The one that you destroyed back in the nineties ? With Croatia , Albania , Kosovo , Bosnia .....? The irony is that most likely you will join EU along with the above mentioned countries and like it or not you will be united again ... damn its a crazy world isnt it ?

Love / Polish mother of my child - 'No money, no daughter' - ADVICE NEEDED [46]

@Victor12345

What makes you think that you will be ordered to pay 200-500 euros per month for child support ? Did you go to court ?
Is your ex demanding certain amount from you ? If so ,what is it based on ? To me she is not interested in your child well being , as well as your child having both parents . She seems like very high conflict person with no regards for you as a father .

My advice to you is collect all the evidence that you might have ( emails , letters , txt messages ) from her demanding money in exchange for visitations with your daughter. When you have enough evidence find a lawyer , lay it all out and at the end of the day you may just have a case against her . I maybe wrong but ..don't you get free legal advice / lawyer from the EU since your income is so low ?

Love / Polish mother of my child - 'No money, no daughter' - ADVICE NEEDED [46]

Again-how would you support your kid if you got the custody?

Probably the same way his wife is having it now , only she would be the payer ...( highly unlikely though )
I also don't see him mentioning anything about him trying for custody . His wife is having custody right now and she is denying him the access , which is wrong ....the kid has two parents and should be able to spend time with both .

Love / Polish mother of my child - 'No money, no daughter' - ADVICE NEEDED [46]

I agree 100% that he must support his child and find a way to generate more income , but from the law perspective ( I think ) she has no right to use a child as a tool to force him to pay . If he is deadbeat dad , then she should go after him through court system . I don't want to pass a judgment on neither one of them , but sure as hell their child is not the number 1 priority in this mess...

Love / Polish mother of my child - 'No money, no daughter' - ADVICE NEEDED [46]

@Victor12345

"My actions as a good father will not be seen in a Polish court I have been told.
They will focus more on why I have not my name on the birth certificate for 4 years."

Says who ?

"I had my reason for not signing I will not be part of any illegal fraud for trying to make false claims for child benefit from holland whilst she is living in poland."

So you had legitimate reason for not signing birth certificate , you are law abiding citizen who refused to scam the system .

" Now she refuses to put my name on the paper saying better for her is single parent as now she get money from poland and me. "

Do you have this on "paper " ? If so then you have the proof that she is milking the system ...no?
