Australia / Thinking about moving to Australia [39]

yes, can honestly say I've never been worried about spiders and snakes, only time I've seen a snake was at the zoo, lets be honest about it Melbourne is the sports capital of the

whereabouts bolek?

you need to get out to the burbs with a creek running through it...i can remember one of the teachers smashing a tiger snake with a baseball bat when it entered the school grounds. and i have seen a few others growing up. but dnz, that is over a span of 36 years.

lets be honest about it Melbourne is the sports capital of the
world ie, cricket, tennis, golf, motor car and motorcycle racing, surfing etc,

you forgot the best sport in the world:

Just out of interest how cold is it likely to get in Sydney during the winter months and also how early does it get dark,

i dont know about sydney, but melbourne ranges between 8-13 degrees during winter and it usually gets dark say around 5pm. no where near the 4pm dark i experienced in scotland.

jamesams1357

you're load that should have been swallowed.

The main thing that worries me is all the deadly animals and insects there

you're more likely to be hit by a hoon in a ford/holden (gmh) here than be eaten by sharks.

are you going to reside in sydney for the longer term?

just for your info as well, generally the smaller a spider is the more potent it is. a small white tail spider will do more damage (not kill you) than a huntsman the size of your hand.

Australia / How to import my car to Australia from Poland? [26]

theres this new stupid law comeing up that there cops can stop you on there street and search you for weapons for no reason

numbnut, maybe it is coz of this, read and expand your mind:

theage.com.au/victoria/call-for-tacstyle-campaign-to-target-knifings-20100222-orup.html

Do you even know what you are talking about?

check the guys posts, 90% involve slagging australia off and the other 10% slagging poland off.

that's way we choose Perth, and it has less humidity than other very nice, but over populated big cities in AU ;)

sydney, melbourne, adelaide are from over populated when compared to major cities around the world.

perth may have less humidity, but the 35+ degrees at 8am are killers.

Australia / Just got home to Australia, but I miss Poland! [47]

Polish shop at Vic market is pretty expensive...
And I got some stuff from there that was well past best before date.
Once I got lettuice from south melbourne market with worms in it... since then I'm shopping at Safeway just across the street from the market but I don't like it.
I'm making my own pierogi tomorrow as its my birthday... I need something polish to celebrate it.
So what do you do for fun ?

it is expensive but considering the closest polish clubs to us are scumshine, dandewog or rowville it is what we deal with it.

yeah, i was at vic mkt 2 weeks ago and was told by a store owner for touching the peaches. i promptly went to safeway/coles to do the rest of my vegie/fruit shopping.

i live in the norf, so i shop at psarokos.

for fun, usually go for drinks after work on a friday. not much else really.

you live in southbank from memory?

if you're looking for fruit, veg, fish, meats, etc then try the south melbourne/victoria markets.

the victoria one even has a polish deli, just dont get sucked into buying the pierogi there.

coles/safeway are the best for the other things.

UK, Ireland / Recently beaten up in England by 3 Polish guys [93]

In the 15 years I have been here, the only times I have ever seen two men fighting both of them have been foreigners. Poles will sometimes fight if it's just two-on-one but usually it's three against one.

i dont think this is exclusive to poles or pawels...the only times I have seen two men fight was back in high school. nowadays it is 2 or more onto 1, the only one on one fights involving one party knifing or glassing the other party.

Australia / Finding work on Prospective marriage visa, Melbourne ( subclass 300 ) [30]

Is there a law here that I cant work here even when i have full working rights ?

you should reference the terms of your visa?

if it is anything like the working holiday visa for commonwealth nationals then you can only work for 6 months out of the 12 months you're here.

you have worked 4 out of the 6 months, so that probably would put off employers looking for 6 month contractor/permanent.

your best bet is to seek cash paid work (bar/restaurant/cleaning/etc), even if it is just to get out of the house/apartment/flat.

Australia / Polish Culture in Melbourne, Australia [87]

try this site, but the people may not be in your age range: dziuplamelbourne.com

there are also monthly (sometimes once every 2 months) polish dances, but it would be hard meeting new people there. but you never know.

Australia / Meeting Poles in Adelaide [15]

i think adelaide has the biggest polish community in australia....google polish clubs/restaurants in adelaide and you should get a number of places.

i even think there are some previous threads on this very subject.

Life / Lack of Spacial Acuity in Poland [69]

it happens everywhere...try walking in the city in australia and you're likely to bump into someone who just randomly stops (generally asian) or people walking 3-4 abreast the pavement.
