Work / Teaching English in Zakopane, is it safe? [45]
What?! Seriously?
In my local pub back in Krakow the bar staff refused to speak to me in English at all by the end of it. I didn't mind all that much though, it's fun to practice.
Closer to the topic of the thread, young and vulnerable EFL teachers, away from home and insecure, can be at risk of being recruited by either a cult or a fundamentalist Christian group. I've seen this happen.
What?! Seriously?
That's funny - I got berated for speaking English last time I was in back, and by my waitress, no less!

Classifieds / Motorcycle trip from Poland to South Africa in the fall [25]
Didn't see that program but I loved the series "A long way round" with Ewan McGregor. He done the African trip too, from John o' Groats to Cape Town. Though in this series it was more put together and planned.

Food / Burgers, why not in Poland? [54]
One thing that I always thought was odd was the lack of a decent burger.
Most shops sold some variations made from reclaimed chicken meat which contained a load of disgusting crap and tasted nothing like a burger.
Is there anywhere in Poland where you can buy a decent burger made from beef?

Can't post a link, I just mean something that actually tastes like a burger and contain some kind of steak or beef.
If I was having a bbq then I would have to go out and buy all the ingredients.
can you post/link a picture that shows what you think is a decent burger?

The Irish Mbassy in Krakow has some ok burgers, but it's also a hit and miss, depends if the South African (forget his name) is working.
I think what I was getting at is that I couldn't find anything that resembled a burger in the supermarkets or local shops. Normally I would just go to McDonalds, but sometimes I just fancied a snack at home.

Travel / Fish and Chips in Warsaw [53]
It surprises me that you are so up for everything British but dislike our national dish :D
I was looking at the idea of a fish and chip shop 4 years ago in Krakow, and again this year with another forum member. But alas didn't get round to it, and the premises we looked at were far too expensive, around 30k a month for around 200m2!!!
The poor Poles...being subjected to such horrid stuff :D

Do you like meat-balls? As proper burgers are practically the same thing, give or take a few different spices.

Well as you know, us Scot's are quite renowned for our chippy's. Though we have had some shockers, especially in Glasgow. On the east coast you will find the best as most of our fishing fleet are there. Once in Glasgow I came across something called a heart banger. It was a sausage wrapped in kebab meat then deep fried. I tried a bite and felt sick straight after.
On another note I loved when I would visit my grandparents in Manchester, cos it meant I could get a steak and kidney pudding with mushy pea's!
Good point ;)

I think the portion sizes are a little bit larger, most of our good stocks of fish are sold to Spain and France, which is a shame cos I think the UK has some of the best sea-food in the world.
Is it just me, or is the fish always larger in Scotland?

UK, Ireland / The Irish, the biggest tax evaders ever [21]
Since i moved to Ireland from Poland, it seems to me that everybody here has a job, but at the same time they claim benefits ie lie about having jobs in order to feck the system up. Is it unheard of that if most people claim benefits but still work without paying tax, no wonder Ireland is in the position it is in now.

All traffic cop cars in the UK are fitted with computers, and radios so they can check your details within 30seconds after the info has been given. They don't even need your license or insurance papers to check, just ur car reg.
and no even in UK you have to wait in similar cases (though usually its 48 hrs).
