Work / Average earnings and cost of living in Warsaw? [42]

I do have family, and friends in Poland, and have spent over two months there, and fell in love with Poland, the land of my grandparents, and all her great people. Also, I hope to be able to work there, later.

Things here in the U.S.A. are now a great mess, and if this president get re-elected, will get much worst.

The exchange rate is now around 3.3 and do not look for it to change below 3.0 for some time.

The people of Poland, are like the people of the U.S.A. were here fifty or more years ago.

Does anyone know what paper work I will need do to live there? Also, what paperwork will I need to work there?

Thank you all for your input.

USA, Canada / Moving to Poland from USA with my retired husband [10]

This could be the best thing you ever did. I also, plan on moving, after I sell my home, to Warsaw, Poland. This is the land of my grandparents, and I have several family, and friends there, and have spent some time there, a few times, and love it, and the people there are great.

Good luck.

Life / Are Polish natives intolerant of foreigners who do not properly speak the language? [30]

Poland has some of the best people in the world. If you had some bad dealings, they must have been Germans visiting or living there, to get away from that hell hole, they lived in.

And the Polish women are the best looking, and very nice women in the world.

This is why I want to retire and live there, soon, I hope.

And, different than most places, you don't have to be able to speak Polish to get along, in fact most want to speak English.

I have spent must time there, and we Americans can lear much from them.

Work / Average earnings and cost of living in Warsaw? [42]

What does the average person, living in Warsaw, Poland earn in a month?
What does it cost the person to live in Warsaw, Poland for a month?
Could I live in Warsaw, Poland for less than here in the U.S.A.?
Could I work in Poland, and what would I have to do to work there?

Thank you all for your help, since I know I will only get facts.

Why are owners of furninshed apartments, still asking such a high price, when the Euro is now going on?
I would be there in the fall, when most apartments prices go down.

What other way, could I use, to find this apartment that I am looking for?

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

So rent could be around $ 625.00 a month, in American money. This could work for me, if on Hoza Street, or near the downtown Warsaw area. Would I get a better price for long term?

Life / Let`s compare prices of services and products in Poland [359]

So what can I plan on paying for furnished apartment for one, one bedroom, living room, and full bathroom, with all included, phone, cable, and all utittles, and food, and everything more I may need for a month, in or near downtown Warsaw? Can I live off my social security check and a small pension check? Please advise, since I hope to make this move this fall, if all works out.

On a visit to Poland I took a nice place like I now need, on Hoza Street, but lost my contact information. It was on the corner of Hoza, above a few stores. Do you know how to help me find this contact, or a place like it?

Travel / Your best memory after visiting Poland [41]

Several things make Poland a great place to visit, I find in my visits.

1. The great people, who all are there to help, whenever you need, even if they don't know you.
2. The care these great people take in a try to make you happy.
3. The great food, found all over Poland.
4. The great places to visit.
5. The great looking women, all over.
6. The exchange rate, from our U.S. money, and what you can buy, at a low price.
7. The safe feeling you have, even walking the streets.
8. You don't need to be able to speak Polish, to get around.

I would, if I did not have family here, in the U.S. move there now, for good.
I look forward to my next visit, to Poland.

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]

Like a Polish farmer, it is nothing but bull. Why would someone, could be German person, take his time, to upset the thinking of all of us, we know better. Polish people are the best. In my visits to Poland, I find them to be most helping, and great people.

Language / Is the term 'Polak' derogatory?? [254]

Yes, Polak, is very derogatory, to the great Polish people, worldwide. I hate when someone calls me a Polak, and I correct them, by saying, I am Polish, not a Polak.

Merged: What happened in Warsaw on Independence Day?

What happened in Warsaw on Independence Day?
What I read riots hit the street, violence broke out and a number of left-wing and anarchists tried to stop a march by far-right groups. 92 of the 202 arrested were German. Why did this go on? What do the Polish, in Poland think of this?
