depends on your means and how much you earn.
the way things are going you're better paying a people smuggler and claiming asylum when getting to australian shores. it seems quicker than trying to get citizenship/permanent residency.
Could you tell me about costs of living there (I'm particulary interested in Brisbane)?

i am not sure that all traits for one polish person are indicative of the next polish person.
i have been told that sarcasm is a strong polish trait, but not all poles on this forum are sarcastic.
i would however say that all poles on this forum are proud.
is that indonesian?
Thanks for the tip. In fairness, you warned me. Is there anything else that I need to know?

researchas, are these the same highly educated highly skilled indians that come to australia that cant get jobs in their professions that have to do chef courses to get some sort of employment?
indians are known for having all the education the world can offer but putting that education into practicality is where they struggle.

Life / Price of cigarettes in Poland? [192]
could be worse, the ausralian government is trying to raise the cost to $20 for a pack of 30. currently that pack would cost $11-14 depending what you buy and where you buy them.
Typically 8PLN. They want to hike it up to 10PLN in the near future to bring it in line with European prices. The downside of harmonisation.

i think so....but you're best contacting a polish club near you. where do you live?
it was mixed when i went, there were some older creepy types and also some younger one.
my parents also used to go to them...i got dragged when i was young (on a new years from memory). ahh watching the oldies really get into the chicken dance.
so are these dziupla dances the most common (and only) way of catching up with poles in the Melbourne area's?
i think so....but you're best contacting a polish club near you. where do you live?
How many younger people attend these dances compared to the older groups? My parents used to attend some organised polish functions similar to the dziupla ones I believe but I never attended as I thought they were only for the older generation.

the best bet would be going to the swedish consulate in poland and finding out.
i got my uk working holiday visa for the uk whilst in poland from the australian/british consulate in warsaw. a process that takes 3-4 weeks in australia took 3 hours.
Best bet is to contact the Polish embassy (or whoever Poland has an agreement with) in your own country and ask there.

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]
the spokesperson for the group of 79 admitted that he was running with a gang and jailed in canada for i think 2-3 years. i think he was then promptly booted from canada.
in australia we have a big issue with boat people, and it is hard to get an impartial view via the media. so, im basically on the fence not knowing the facts.
my question is, how many countries did the tamils pass through to get to indonesia (also considering that india a mainly hindu country is the neighbour of sri lanka)?
and where do they get the millions of dollars to pay people smugglers? hell, if civil war broke out in australia i would struggle to gather 100k to my name.
and keep in mind there are how many people in refugee camps all over the world spending 2-3 years trying legally to start a new life.
Me thinks they should be evaluated carefully. Canada too, is on the receiving end of these "refugees". Could they really be fighters trying to play the system?

especially when their neighbour, india, is predominantly hindu.
this is news to me, it hasnt been reported in australia from what i have read.
also, the 79 were living in indonesia, and from what i understand legitimate citizens. could be australia's generous welfare system was a lure?
Yes, why did they have to come half way across the world to find a safe haven?
especially when their neighbour, india, is predominantly hindu.
Why whas the ownership of the ship they came in on disguised to hide the fact that the Tamil Tigers were the true owners? Why was there traces of explosives found on the ship and at least one of the "refugees"? Why were the refugees predominantly male? Women and children don't have reasons to leave the area? Hmmmm.

f*ck me, canada would even be harder to get to. good welfare system there as well?
a couple of boats recently have sabotaged themselves to ensure they get entry.
is your government tough on border security? maybe we need tips from canada if so.
