Life / Canadian Moving to Poznan, Poland - what to bring over, areas to avoid, school for a child. [54]
Well alot has gone on here since I was last on this post lol.
Welcome Monica, I hope you are enjoying your stay here in Poznan. I'm really sorry it took me a bit to respond to you. To be honest I stopped receiving notifications from this blog, so I randomly go on and check. I've sent a private message.
I still haven't found a job but to be honest I have slowed down the search. My son just started preschool, so right now i'm focusing on going to school with him to help with the transition.
@Styd I disagree with you! I find Poland not to be cheap at all! Your experience doesn't count because you are going back and forth from Ireland so you are earning in different coins than what people earn here. Even with your business here you can't compare. Obviously you will find it way cheaper here than in Ireland.
Once again....like I said before, if I were to receive what I was making in Canada and live here of course everything would be super affordable. But that's not the case.
My post clearly said that if you are living in Poland and earning a typical polish wage or even above your average. Life here is still expensive for what you are earning. Even locals that make decent money find it expensive here and trust me they are not being racist.
McDonald's is cheaper in Canada than it is here so don't come at me with that.
I find restaurants stupid expensive here, the quality of food and variety of food isn't the greatest and let's not talk customer service.
I can't blame the waiters completely considering I've heard and seen that alot of people don't tip here. Which was completely shocking to me.
