Life / New in Poland! Not yet jaded and loving it [34]

Yeah,Poland is not that bad.Btw you are not James from SA I met in Connecticut US in a summer of 2001 or are you?He was a pretty cool dude just speaking weird English.

Hey Grubas, no I'm not the James you met in the States. In 2001 I was in SA. I am a pretty cool dude though and my English isnt that weird.

Life / New in Poland! Not yet jaded and loving it [34]

Not been to the post office yet. We have however torn hair out at Urzad Miasta trying to register car, get Meldunek'd, karta pobytus etc. If I can survive that and a near miss by a tornado near Chelmno (we had to stop the car because we couldnt drive in the wind and rain), I can survive anything. Imagine coming half way around the world only to be sucked up by a tornado

By the way South Africa is not a mess, it has its challenges just like Poland. In many respects it is way ahead of Poland, but in many areas way behind.

Still smiling though, its hot and sunny in the Troimiasto. Time to fire up the grill and crack a Zywiec!!!!!

Life / New in Poland! Not yet jaded and loving it [34]

Just moved to Gdynia from South Africa with wife and two kids. Wife is Polish returning to mother country after 30 years in SA. So far have spent all my time on the beach in Sopot, on the Dzialka in Bory Tucholskie or just touristing around. Have loved the forests, picking jagoda i kurki's, making jam, riding mountain bike, going to concerts.

Have been here once in 2000 during winter. Was OK but now am loving it.

During intensive research on Poland whilst back in SA preparing for trip I happened on PF. I couldnt join because nobody with African email addresses can join. I must confess that I nearly threw up after reading a few threads, Poland sounded dreadful, polluted, no money, full of dog poo...

But its not, its wonderful. I'm still on holiday so my euphoric view will no doubt change. Will try to keep up the optimism.
