Life / Moving to Krakow and in need of advice and pointers. [18]

i'm aware spring is a bad time. but it will give me the summer to get to know the place properly.i want to spend a few months just getting to know the place and learn to at least speak the language. boredom will be my big problem.if i'm not working. i would love to start work immediately but i wont be under pressure to get a job straight away.i think doing the courses is positive and also a good way to meet people

i realy like krakow! and i will be doing my homework.and i realy want to stress that i'm under no illusions about how hard or easy it will be there! it will be very different. krakow is my destination but i have no ties to it.if i can pick up the language i would be very happy to work at any job.the celta course would just be "another string to my bow" also i have alot of contacts in the music industry here.again i am only putting the idea out.

all your points about the english language bit are well made!:/ its been a while since i have had to speak english correctly.but i think i could knock the rust off! the polish language is the one that will be tough!:) i would consider my own venture in krakow but i would rather not have any responsability untill i have settled in.i have also been a victim of the irish economic crash.so i dont have bags of cash!:) thanks for the tips guys and please keep posting!:)

hej folks, i'm thinking of going to live in poland in early spring next year.2012 my reasons are simple,i have visited alot and i love the place! however i am a realist and i'm aware it will be a massive change!:) i'm going to do a 4 week celta course in krakow when i arrive,and i will also enroll in a polish language course. i know what the rental market for accomadation is like so i'm fine at sorting out a place to live,i suppose i'm just looking for some very practical advice on what i should expect! both good and bad! naturaly i will also be looking for employment! my background is in sales and hospitality,and i have ran my own business a bar and guesthouse for the past 6yrs.but its a fresh start for me so i would consider all my options. i'm 32 yrs old and i'm from ireland.any feedbak would realy be appreciated!:)
