more of Krakow.
The first two sculpting are close ups of the building in the next photo.
Doh, it is the same photo twice of the sculpting, my bad

You will have to excuse the poor quility of the photos, I never did intend to use them for anything but I see now that it might give people an idea of the grandeur of Krakow.

Travel / Recommendations for Krakow and Myślenice [80]

I found this on youtube and thought I'd post it here to give you all a better idea of Krakow.
Two things definitely worth noting are, the poster gallery they go to.
Which is one of my favourite places with Polish posters and pictures that are truly unique.
And one of my favourite drinks, Szrlotka meaning "apple pie", which is a mixture of -ubrówka Vodka, and apple juice. -ubrówka should only be drunk with apple juice but be warned it is deceptively smooth.

Not at all.
I know you miss Krakow, when I moved away for a few years so did I.
You'll be back soon and Krakow will be waiting for you :)

I want to give more info on Krakow, Myślenice and Zakopane.
I was thinking of lasing my own photos and experiences with things I find relevant on the net.

Perhaps Admin will even move my photos of Krakow here?

Travel / Recommendations for Krakow and Myślenice [80]

Yes, lots but I am much better at talking than typing, I am a fairly animated story teller, when I get going ha ha ha.

Like a mate of mine years ago here in Krakow, thought that Mr. Słownik was Poland's greatest author, he is in every bookshop?

And welcome to the Polish Forum.

When you have done the trip, let us know how you got on

Good luck

Doh, your right, not katowice, Nowa Huta.
I edited the original post.

I forgot to take my medication......NURSE!!
POP...POP..FFFFfffffiiizzzz.....

OK, that's better.

Yes, I went, i just waited for a mate to come over, did i not tell you??
We had a great time, we did the "luxury communist tour", I even find the name hilarious.
I would recommend it to everyone, I think these guys are very clever, turning communism on it's head and making a bob.
Well worth the ride.
I'll post the link here [crazyguides.com]

I don't work for them either, just think it is worth seeing, not your average tour

Travel / Weekend in Katowice [25]


Yeah very active and lively, it is really interactive.
There are a few guys who do it by the looks of the website.
I see a lot of tourists in Krakow being driven around in electric carts as they listen to tape recording of the history of such and such who was born in such and such

, no interaction at all and no action, crying shame.

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

Hello shelly,

And welcome to the Polish Forum.

I am Irish and i live in Poland.

I see your main concern is work?, well teaching English is probably your best bet but of course I do not know anything about you.

I recommend you do a teaching English as a foreign language course,( i am not sure which one is best these days) and start learning Polish.

There is plenty of info on this site, if you use the search box up the top left you should find what you want.

I also recommend starting a new topic introducing yourself.

And let us know how you get on

Best of luck

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]


The question is impossible for me to answer.
I am sure there are teaching English courses you can do that do not require a third level education.
Teaching is probably your best option, as there are plenty of highly educated and skilled Polish people looking for other work here, also not knowing the language does make you an unlikely candidate for most jobs here.

There is also bar work and the like.
If I were you, I would come over and do a bit of research for yourself. Check out what you think of the place and what jobs you could do.

Where abouts were you thinking of going to in Poland?
I strongly recommend you learn some Polish before you come here, it will make life a million times easier.
Let me know if there is any further information I could help you with and let us know how you are getting on :)

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

I live in the south of Poland, near Krakow and the mountains.
Gdansk is a big place so i am sure you will be fine, more people will speak English.
There are probably Irish bars, go to them looking for work?.
If you don't like it, you can still look around for a job.
It is better to have a job and look for work than no job at all.
Where in Ireland are you from Shelly?
I am from Dublin.

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]


Very true, i was just trying of think of jobs she could get, for starters.


The pay is much much better for teaching English, I just did not know how desperate you were.
I have been through Gadansk on my way to Hel, everybody always told me to go to Hel ;)
I know very little about living in Gadansk and so long as your husband is not a ship builder you should be fine.
The future is not certain for the ship industry.
Really try to learn some of the language before you come here, use this site for suggestions and even go to Polish people in Ireland and ask them to teach you, in return you could teach them more English, I have done this many times. And remember to learn everyday Polish, food shopping, buying tickets etc...

I used to teach in Krakow 6 years ago, I did a T.E.F.L (teaching. English. as a foreign. language) course in Dublin, I believe you can also do them online but i do not think this alone will be enough any more, you'd have to check here URL and other threads like this.

Use the search tool at the top right of the page to find things that will help.
I love Galway, I was over on Inish Mor in June, I was lucky with the weather:)

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

shelly, is that you?
You did not sign in.
No I have no Irish or native English speakers anywhere near me.
I know Polish people who speak some English and i speak some Polish.
It is not too hard for me, although some times I miss Ireland and the people and the craic but less and less, although i am not too sure if i am telling the truth, yesterday it was very windy and I missed Ireland (there's usually no wind here) but i am not sad and it is unusual for me to get home sick.

In the last 6 years it happened to me once, when i was living in Lithuania, that I had to go home, I just had to. But lithuania is very different.

I am sure there are Irish bars in Gdansk.
It is a terrible situation to leave the country out of want, I think about the Polish in Ireland and wonder, at least they have each other.

It is not going to be easy, at first, that is why it is so important to learn the Polish language, so you do not feel alienated.

Tell us a bit more about yourself, please.

You seem to have a nasty habit of being right, it must be difficult :)

Sorry shelly, when you said starogard gdanski, i thought you meant the much bigger city of Gdańsk.
I have never been to starogard gdanski either.

Life / Reasons for moving to Poland [291]

Shelly, there seems to be a few language schools in starogard gdanski.
here is one for example
najezykach your husband could help you translate.
najezykach.pl/?action=polishDescr&langId=&courseId=&cityStart=R&cityId=42&schoolId=52
Contact a few of these schools and ask them what certificates they require etc.
Good luck and let us know how you get on :)
