Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]


good points

the whole essence of doing this developing lark is to get paid as there is a lot of risk and aggravation in the business

If one is a developer and you are not going to get a return, don't build the bloody things.

Real Estate / Residential real estate values go down in Poland [455]


it does seem to be unjustified however the forum is going to hell

the real estate prices are going to fall. unless that is one believes that Poland is a truly magical place where the rules of economics do not apply

oh yes

and I have to say the chick in the shop found it highly amusing

I manage to keep my clothes on in this version of the story

Language / "Hilarious" Mistakes? (Esp. Across Polish and other Slavic Languages) [74]

having been in country only a few weeks I went out to buy a set of headphones for my walkman

'Suka poprosze' I said to the attractive, female shop assistant pointing at the items displayed in the shop

she smiled and handed me a set of head phones

Poles have embraced Turkish culture to the point that you cannot walk 50 metres in any Polish city without coming across a kebab shop :-)

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

lets just have a look at some of your posts


this is clearly a reference to circumcision in the US - a topic which you might know something about as your knowledge about Polish is second hand


then your second post, which I thought was a suggestion from you that wholesale circumcision of American men is to prevent American Jews being identified should there be a future holocaust in the US. I was referring to this when I accused you of spouting gibberish.

I wholeheartedly agree that it would be impossible to tell a circumcised gentile apart from a Jew once disrobed

If you have ever seen the film Europa Europa (which is a European film so you might not have seen it) you will see that the hero who is a young Jew posing as a German soldier during the war. He is measured by a German doctor to demonstrate how Jews can be detected by measuring the shape of the head, size of the nose etc and the doctor comments on how the young man has perfect Aryan features.

So accusing me of being both an anti-semite and an English teacher in the same post - way to go

wrong on both counts -

cigarettes are consumed by nicotine addicts

Alkies on the other hand do not have to drink beer

I have been learning about Serbian history, for which I have to thank you for your kind explanations
however I have been speaking to quite a few Poles about the connection with Serbia and they really
do not have any feelings about Serbia at all

outside this forum, do you know any Polish people?
are they pro Serbia? because none of my Polish friends give Serbia any thought at all

can't see that happening in Poland quite yet somehow

they could take comfort in the knowledge that their deaths were probably an accident
like all the British soldiers killed in blue on blue incidents in the Gulf War and just about any other conflict where the Brits fought alongside the Americans post WWII

.........now waits for overzealous moderator to bin me thread.......... like they did with my comments about the Korean War (boo, hiss)

so back onto topic

There seem to be quite a few Chechens in Poland now.
I am starting to see a lot more African dudes in the major cities now and not as many Vietnamese as ten years ago

You don't see Georgians any more in Poland, they were really cool
I had lots of friends who were Georgian market traders

Without a doubt the fastest growing ethnic group appears to be caucasian

Chevy I stand corrected you are quite right.
The entire Vietnamese people were indeed not enemies of the US
It was only the North Vietnamese who were fighting with the US forces as well as VietCong based in South Vietnam

There were many Vietnamese who fought the communists to the bitter end and suffered for it, when the Americans finally had to pull out

Study / Going to Medical School in Poland (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn / and others) [51]


I trained sports with some Norwegan medical students, utterly lovely people although they did tend to drink far too much and they were completely open about the fact that they had messed up their college exams and had no choice but to study abroad

Study / Going to Medical School in Poland (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn / and others) [51]


in fairness it was nine grand for a dentist
I presumed that students who wanted to be doctors would have paid around the same amount
thanks for the correction

the Polish students also complain that the foreign students get the freshest stiffs come dissection time
and that the identification of body parts exam was a complete joke, as the foreigners were
given a far easier test than the Poles

I do not think that this is petty jealousy on behalf of the Polish students

Study / Going to Medical School in Poland (University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn / and others) [51]

first off, I am not trolling
I have heard some disturbing information which I wish to share with foreign medical students

I am starting to hear stories that the Polish medical universities have begun to dumb down their English language
courses as attracting foreign students is good business for them

They appear to be more concerned in getting the 9 thousand euros yearly tuition fee than providing
a robust course

as a result I know of one American student whose student loan company would not cover the cost of the
tuition fees as they would not recognise the course

another student from Taiwan had to sit the board exam back home and failed spectacularly having
done rather well in the Polish university

I have spoken to Polish medical students who have confirmed that the tests that the foreign students sit
and the ones that Polish students sit are vastly different, with the tests for Polish students being much harder

I would hate for someone to spend six years at a Polish medical university then fail their board exam back home

of course if you are European you have nothing to worry about or at least at the moment you don't

Life / Never want to leave Poland! [9]


shame on you two

let me light a candle rather than curse the darkness

let's assume you can find a flat without any help, although you mentioned it in your post

pick an area where you would like to live, set a budget and call some estate agents

as you have a British passport you can work here without problems
as for residency, I would not bother about it
if you want to be squeaky clean then you can go to an office which your wife (assuming she is Polish) can tell you which one and get a meldunek

you can then go to another office to get a pesel number again ask for help as I do not know where you live

there I hope that helped

if you need anything else, don't hesitate to come back
