Work / Questions about teaching in Elblag or Opole? [23]

I used to work in Cosmopolitan school in Opole (late 90's). Decent wages and conditions.

I know that there are MANY schools in Opole (and no doubt elsewhere) who are paying crap wages. SHOP around! My wife's from there and we go there at least twice annually to visit in-laws etc. I'd personally move back there tomorrow (but my wife prefers Scotland...!). Alternatively I'd move to Warmai/Mazuri area - possibly my favourite area in Poland (though don't tell my wife!) - and where my Dziadek was from.

If you want to know about Opole, mail me back and I'll pass on my views etc.

Life / Good place to live in Poland (if you want to move on)? [66]

Home and 'belonging' in a country appears to be nothing to do with birthplace or upbringing. I know more than one Polish national here who feels that Scotland is their favourite palce in teh world to be (and there will be many who have the opposit opinion, obviously!). I'm only 1/4 Polish (Dziadek came across here during war with Sikorski et al) and I would personally move back to Poland tomorrow. Ironically, my (Polish) wife prefers it here!

I wonder if Polish has the same phrase 'The Grass Is Always Greener...'?
