Off-Topic / The West Highland Way - 96 miles through some of Scotland most beautiful routes. [28]
My friends were travelling using the bag carrying service, it soon turned out I was their free bag carrying service!! :) No matter what the guide books say, the loch lomond sections were the hardest.

Off-Topic / The West Highland Way - 96 miles through some of Scotland most beautiful routes. [28]
Well, Last Sunday I set out on a challenge I truly believed I would never have finished. In an attempt to raise donations for my Challenging behavioural unit (which proceeds raised over £3000) I took on the task to walk through some of Scotland's most challenging and remote, but most beautiful route, The west highland way. From Glasgow to Fort William.
I returned home with a broken foot, strained knee ligaments, torn calf muscle and a very bad back after carrying 32kgs of camping gear and food for 96 miles without the luxuries of hotels ect, just roughing it totally.
I wouldn't be so injured if I hadn't taken on a bet with some British marines out on the R&R, the bet was simple, that I would finish each section before them, they won the first two, I bagged them on the next five.
Here's to Scotland - alba du grath!

Only if they come from £ódz that is my dear!
This is true! Of course they do!
The Krk pf meetings are known all over the world it seems :)
You forgot to mention that they all smell like fish.
shallow cows, gold diggers

They sleep with anybody and everybody, maybe with goats too if you think of that!!! ******, prostitutes, and not human like creatures.
This is true! Of course they do!
I'm glad that all men meet on this forum to share their sad experiences with pretty much ****** up Polish trash women.

Life / A loss to Krakow. [20]
Owned by local authorities and uni im led to believe. Only went there once. Was annoyed at the psychological signs of being bored shown by the animals, pacing up and down the same route ect.
Could be that they simply aren't interested - is the zoo there owned by the city?

Life / A loss to Krakow. [20]
I don't think there is a building in Krk of that size and perfect for the job that anyone would sell.
I'm not interested in the politics of this. The aquarium is there for the families of Krk no matter who owns it or wants the profits. I would have thought that local government would be wanting to keep this within the city, at least for local tourism.
I know more of Polish politics than I let on IS, a couple of MPs spent a few bucks having lessons from me (for English that is :D ) but I never really took notice or demanded to know their motives within the political world... most the same as the rest, cutting their own piece of the cake ;)
If I could tell the stories I learnt over the years there I'd write a book, alas I'm not keen too lol
Of course it is, when some farts in Krk I know about it! I done a lot more than teaching in that city buddy ;)
A Major mistake, investing in the building he doesn't own.

No idea. The aquarium is definitely closing by the way (just checked with someone who knows this sort of thing) - so the story might be true enough.

As far as I'm aware, aren't a lot of staff volunteers from the Uni? I've been out of the country for a we while. No doubt find out everything when I get back.
Sure is. Don't get me wrong, I dont personally like the guy, I know exactly how he ran those hostels, but this truly was a great idea.
That's probably entirely due to the PAN paying diabolically low salaries, even by Polish standards.

Is it the same guy who owns several hostels too? I think I know who he is...

I know the guy who set this venture up in the beginning. Giving something to Krakow that would not only be great for the city and it's Universities but also to krk too.
Shame that the krakow aquarium is now closing due one professor that became the director of the institute of systematic's a division of Polish academy of sciences in Krakow wanting not only his rent for owning the building but an extra salary plus bonuses up front as "little extra payments to keep the birds happy".
I will always be the first to shout down people having a go at Poland for the wrong reasons, but this indeed sounds like too many cases from when I first came to live in Krk over 9 years ago, I really thought this was dying out in Krk. Seems not.

Life / 3 reasons why winter is the best time of the year in Poland [58]
1. No tourists
2. Good reason to stay in the bar.
3. Nothing like government heating on 24hr for dirt cheap prices :D

There are lots of au pair jobs around my area. Rich families who live busy lives. Most au pairs get second jobs as well just to keep the income up. My French friend is an au pair who also works in the local cafe.
You have the will so it's just about the planning ;) If you want something enough then usually with hard work you can achieve it. ;)
Yep, most earnings will be taken up.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]
It's not a "gentlemen's club", it's just some shady bar.
Most likely as the place has been reported to the authorities plenty enough times.
If folk stick to the decent places and go to bars which have been recommended by "normal" folk they won't get into trouble.
Avoid places like clubs saxon and hard candy. Both of which run these scams during the "tourist" seasons.
Here are the rules for "gentlemen's clubs"

I still can't this place is still running this scam after all these years, or that people are still getting scammed by it. The place was stung by a couple of free-lance journalists when I lived there hence the articles.

no, she made a posting that showed Poles stereotyping about Jews. Big difference.
Erm, excuse me? Is your head so far up your own back-side kissing it, that you really think I need to explain anything? Seriously?? Haha!
From reading some of your other posts, it seems that logic is something that may be missing in your abilities.
Have a nice day ;)
f stop made a posting which stereotypes Poles. There is no getting around this.

If she is Jewish then you dtaylor5632 will need to explain what the problem would be in her sharing that information. There is nothing for her to be ashamed of is there? Only you can answer that one.

K&S are a small school run by a couple. Can't mind what street but Jana pawla comes to mind. They are not too popular as in many students but seem to do alright. As a small school they may well be experiencing the financial bite. I had a job offer once from them but turned it down.
