UK, Ireland / Would life in the UK be very hard for a 17 yr old Polish girl? Advice needed please [33]

Wait till you go off to University in a bigger city like Katowice, Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw or Poznan you will find life much better than in the UK.

If you go there in such a young age alone, people will take advantage off you so I highly recommend you to stay in Poland!

Work / Medical tests before working in Poland [23]


So this is an office job.
I had the same before starting my job, they check your sight, and simply ask questions of you have any medical issues and that is that.

Takes 10 minutes tops.

Real Estate / Best area in Krakow to live? [43]

Okay, its a good area for a family with green field's etc. and if you have a car it's great.
Well, since you'll be working in Podgorze I'd recommend you to look for something in the south part of the city.
Górka Narodowa is in the north so when going to work you'd have to cross all the way across town, and by car with the traffic in the morning it might take some time.

I'd suggest you to look for something in Debniki (there is a nice lake, and green areas) and also you can look in Podgorze, but beaware of which district in Podgorze as not all places are very nice. You can also check out Ruczaj and Lagiewniki area. Good place's for families and not far from your work place as all these district are south of the river.

Real Estate / Best area in Krakow to live? [43]

It's quiet far from the center and all. But the apartments out there are usually quiet new and good standard, and off course its cheaper there than in Kazimierz for example.

It also depends if you have a family with you, or if your planing to buy a car in that case it is nice. Or if you will be working in this area?

USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]


Aha got ya buddy.
So why don't you just stay in Poland once you finish, for a year or two and gather some work experience before returning to the states?

USA, Canada / Getting job in U.S. with Polish degree [14]


In my opinion this is a huge strength.
The school might not have been close to as good as many American business schools, but going abroad taking your MBA shows that your a go getta who can get sh*it done on his own.

Huge American corporation off course will not take this into consideration, but who want's to work for them anyways?
Start out with some smaller business to gain some experience.

Real Estate / Best area in Krakow to live? [43]


It is, I have no idea why ppl say Krowodrza.
Kazimierz though is the place to live, assuming you can find a decent apartment as many of the buildings are quiet old.

Anyways, I'm early 20's single etc. been living in Kaz for 1,5 years I'd never move to any other part of Krakow!

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

I'm still surprised this joint is open. It's been commonly known for years now that this is the biggiest scam place in Krakow.

They must have some good ties with the local PD.

Love / Should I forgive my cheating Polish girlfriend? [73]


After following this thread for a while, and reading about the obvious deep love you had for this girl, I am really proud of you!

Its tough buddy, but she ain't worth, and she might never learn better but if she does like you wrote, she will cry her eyes out!

I've been in similar situation, and it takes time but you will eventually move on and you will feel better with another person.
Best of luck, and congrats on finally making the right decision.

Love / What to answer to the Most annoying phrase that EVERY and EACH polish girl always says? [58]

It's all about comfort.
This is something the ladies say in the very beginning. Once you make they feel comfortable around you they stop this. I always try to funny, move the topic from their english and bam, its done. Never hear it again.

BTW take it easy, it as not nearly as bad as described in your thread, get annoyed much???

Life / Moving to Poland Part-Time (probably Katowice) [56]


I would say quiet realistic. Though your car expenses are quiet high? Are we talking since you need to spend at least 200 EUR pr. month to pay it off or?

Food / Poland's best cheap beers? [72]


I know this is not the right thread for this, but quick question:
Does anyone know if its true that an Okocim beer is the exact same as Carlsberg, just in different bottle?

Love / Egyptian guy with Polish girl - is it normal? [18]

It just sounds like a typical Polish girl to me.
It's impossible for them somehow to make up there mind, and really there is nothing you can do about it.

Only thing that actually might just help you is to ignore her for awhile, and then she might come running back to you (that's my experience)

Best of luck buddy, you sound like guy with good intentions.

Real Estate / May you confirm that Podgórze (Kraków) is a great area to live in? [13]


This would be the ideal place for you to search.
The area around stare podgorze is very nice, and your really close to great green areas, and yet very close to your work (public transportation is excellent) and only a 10 min tram ride to the center.

I'd say pretty much perfect location according to your criteria's.

Work / Working in Poland without speaking Polish [75]


I was being sarcastic...
Come on, so many people including myself works in Poland without speaking the language, so I thought dumb questions gets a dumb answer.

Who the f are you to talk?
You come from America who are the most patriotic c*cksuckers on earth.. Just because 90% of the girls in your country are heavily obese, and you travelled to Poland and couldnt get yourself a piece of tail, doesnt mean you have to hate on this country!

Your post really upsets me because basically none of this is true!

Classifieds / Game of poker in Krakow? [15]

In Poland your not allowed to play poker in casinoes unless your playing against the dealer, which blows!


We are a mix of Polish/foreigners who plays from time to time in Kazimierz.
Let me know if u wanna join sometime.

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

Why is it that polish people on this forum ALWAYS has to bash so hard on tourist posting about bad experinces in Poland?
Y'all make it sound like it was their own fault, even though people sometimes just enter a random bar to get a brew and thats it!

There is something wrong with moral of some people on this forum!

Travel / Hard Candy - Krakow, Poland - reviews? [131]

I really think its sad that Krakow still has these places!

They had a Hard Candy in Tallin in Estonia for some time also, they did the exact same thing. Case is, in Tallin atleast when the local autorities was informed they shut down the joint.

And thats exactly what they should do with the one in Krakow, it hurts the city's credibillity pretty hard having such scum places.

Life / Moving to Poland Part-Time (probably Katowice) [56]

If i were you i would not want to move to Katowice. Its like PIP said an idustrial hole, with rough neigberhoods and not in my opinion a very pleasent place for expants.

If I were you id find a job somewhere first, and then decided where to move afterwards.

Travel / Need advice where to visit/party in Poland..Krakow? [20]

Well lets say you come here just to get wasted and have a good time, then you would spend lets say 250 PLN pr. night your here (includes food, and all you can drink throughout a night)

So if we excluded hostels, flight, etc. but only talk about the living expanses for the few days of binge drinking, id say you would all have a freaking awesome time for 500 PLN a pop. Which is suppose is only around 100 punds.
