Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]


Thats the article that I had the joy of taking up!!!
Shame though, music bar used to be a great hang out, to play dart ect upstairs. Downstairs was always shoddy, I am not surprised at how it has became.

If anyone is caught out, then a simple, where is my receipt should do. If not then leave and head for any central point where police should be.

This seems to be a new fashion...rip off the tourists ect. But many bar owners in krk are totally against this and will tell you where not to go. I'd say keep off szewska all together. I made mistake of giving kebab owner a 100 note, then went on the ****, when i realised i had been ripped off i went back, at first he said he never served me, so i threw my kebab back at him and asked if it was the same paper he had. I got my 87z change, but i guess a lot wouldnt.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

Yeah guys, there were a few scams like this taking place in Krakow last year. The other scam was using Polish girls to get foreigners to buy them drinks, then the security would come and demand 300-500z's for the few drinks.

Just be careful, Krakow is cheap ;)

Travel / Bieszczady or Zakopane? [23]


All the time. Zakopane is too over-crowded and too expensive. Views are nice but I would prefer the wildness of Bieszczady every time.

Doesn't matter where you come from, there are prostitutes all over. Same can be said about girls who like to sleep around. You can find them in any country. Trust me ;)

Yep, in other words you are saying that girls dont take long to notice that you are a deranged racist c*nt?


I think that's about all you would ever get.

How long is it now you have been whining about not being able to get a gf?

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]

Probably wouldnt find them on internet. Most people who rent them have got them through "contact" Huta is cheap as hell. Rzeszow on another scale is cheaper yet. Don't ask me where they come from, I'm only giving examples of my ex fiancee's parents and families. Plus my own, I lived right next to Planty in Krk in 3 bedroomed place that cost me only 1400pln for about 2 years.

Anyone who thinks you must earn at least 6k to start a family must wonder how the rest of poland does it. For example a teacher at a primary school in Kolbuszowa earns 1000-1200 per month, her husband get 600 a month stacking shelves in local shop. But they somehow have raised 3 kids and own their own house with land.

Nope, also 3-4 but a little more expensive, around 1000.


Perfectly normal modern places to be honest. No living and sleeping in the living room ;)


I said that before.

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]

Pln of course.

Edit: After taxes I mean ;)

Ok then, how does a Policeman and a nurse live from 4k a month, with 3 children?

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]


na not min, flats also go for 750pln in huta.


Hardly, I've done it myself and many Poles have to also. If you think it's impossible then that is living in a fantasy world.

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]

But still it doesn't get away from the fact that there are plenty of places you can buy on a cheaper budget. My place in Ireland was valued (as a wreck) 6 years ago at 220k, now today after I renovated it it worth about the same. But thats just the market. Point I'm making is that you can live quite comfortably in Krk on 2k a month. I've done it in the past and another forum member here is doing it now, with with extra left over money at the end of the month. On 4k a month you could live with 2 kids and also rent quite easily.

After 5-6 years, not one I can bring to mind. Even when I lived in Huta. How many people in the UK do you know in poor circumstances that own their own house while having 2-3 kids?


Cheaper in the UK??? Where were you going in Poland, the Ritz supermarket.


It is, and very very much cheaper.


We cant all go out and buy prada ;)

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]


Then they really shouldn't have 2 kids when they are earning that amount. But thats a different story. I never met a family of 4 in Poland who didn't already have flat ect and earned enough to take care of themselves.


If you spend your money at large supermarket.
Go to the proper markets and buy fresh and you will spend almost nothing, same with clothes ect.
Electrical items are expensive though.

If we all had the choice, we would all choose to live in castle or estates. From living in Krk I know that I could find modern 2-3 bed place for about 1200pln a month. If you look in the right places you can find decent flats to buy for only 250,000pln. Hardy blooming expensive.

You have to make do with the earnings you get. All these people who seem to think that Krk is a cash cow and everybody lives off 10k a month are deluded. You could live in nice flat, near the centre and still earn 2k a month and to make it more remarkable, you could do that and still save.

Why? put 2 and 2 together.

Law / Poland's going forward while Britain is still trying to wake up [86]


They are not forced, there are plenty of places in Krk you can rent or buy on the cheap.


You don't have many friends who take you seriously.


What, so you take a very small minority and claim they are the majority?
