Life / What is the best city in Poland to live in? Relocating to Poznan? [41]
Yup. There is common opinion that they are scum collected from whole Polish countryside. Nobody likes them especially when they do bydło in Masuria.
Gdańsk is my favourite town so I recommend 3city ;)
Also, I heard something like Warszawianie are not like other Polish people, so to say they are less friendly and more egoistic? ;)

budowlańców. Remontują nasze pomieszczenia. Zjechali się autami na angielskich blachach. Nie jest dobrze panowie i panie. Nie jest dobrze. Czy naprawdę jest już tak cienko z pracą w UK?

Work / CV/Resume style standards in Poland [17]
My order is as follow:
- Personal information (name, e-mail, phone, languages).
- Work skills. listing in bullet point form, my key strengths.
- Short (2 paragraphs at the most) summary of experience and strengths.
- Work experience. This is a multi-page dot point section outlining company/department
names + dates, and detailed responsibilities in bullet points.
- Education summary (University name and years attended + any certificates)
If they ask me for a photo or address in CV and at the same time salary is the most top secret data I give them middle finger. I'm not going to spread my personal data at that level of recruitment process. I apply for electronics technician not for the model post.

Life / Cost of Utilities in Warsaw. [23]
I install meters (podlicznik) from time to time and it is very uncommon to let apartment without its own meter. It costs about 200zł so even compared with bills it is worth to take the trouble to clear this strange situation.

So, would it be right to say the "Bialikowie" family?
Adam Bialik i Ewa Bialik.
Rodzina Bialików przyjechała tydzień temu.
Bialikowie kupili sobie nowe auto.
And, why is it that I've heard that the proper plural is "Bialika"?

Life / Electricity in Poland: plug and voltage? [73]
Probably not. Majority of modern, external switching adaptors tolerate input voltage from 100V to 240V so US 110V and EU 230V standard may be covered by one device. They produce 18.5V or 19V output voltage (Hewlett Packard). Check the label on adaptor.
But if you plug in non intelligent 110V device like hair dryer or bulb into 230V socket it may burn or blow up
but will my stuff get fried if I turn it on?

Love / I love my Polish girl! Wanted to share my story. [55]
it's mine :)
I wouldn't like to count disadvantages of living there so let's look on bright side.
Norway - beautiful nature, crystal water, forest, rich country, small population.
Sweden - small population, it's only 200km from home ;)
Germany - ordnung, only 200km from home ;)
France - they know how to live, art, architecture
Spain - sun, sea, warm water
England - relatively easy language to learn, understanding of native speakers.

price is 50zł pcm and 500 MB limit. Better than nothing :/
