USA, Canada / Thoughts on moving to Poland from USA [62]

Wrong Joker,Expats dont complain they adjust with the flow,its only the English Teachers who think they are superior then the locals do.Why even they live there?If you read most of the non english speaking countries have the same problem.Poland in my opinion is was rigged by Brits living a cheap high life teaching english and crashing free company parties and now they cannot.Convenience stores are still open in Poland 24/7 but there they have to pay 3.80PLN for 3 onions then 3.50 in a supermarket but they have to beech and show there importance.Any way some are leaving some left some are dead some are dying soon Poland will be like sweden and no more that SEX PAT crap.

I dont know yet in my case at least but will be in Poland next week and find out.Even in US if the account is left idle for 1 year is frozen and after 2 years the funds are given to the state,it gets really hard to take back your money from the state with tons of paperwork.Some of my accounts here I just deposit a $ once a year on my birthday so the accounts dont get frozen by the bank.

Travel / Poland's LOT Air Problems [43]


I tell you most American airlines suck with customer service,food etc,United and American being the worst.LOT I like but is expensive from EWR to WAW compared to others.Also the dreamliners have reduced my chances for upgrade as they are bigger and rarely overbooked.

I think you should not worry about it.What can they do with your funds,they will have to give you back except that you cannot operate the account.I almost had the similar situation when citibank told me to come take my money as I dont have a job in Poland and the manager opened the account by mistake.I just told them to burn the money for I care as I will not,I will come when I need the money and they better have it.They couldnt do anything and I still have the account 19 years.
