Life / Latest urban art in Łódz - what do you see? [20]


I'm not quiet sure what exactly I do see, but it reminds me a bit of Blu's work.

Krakow:
urbanartcore.eu/new-blu-mural-in-kracow
Berlin:
streetartist.de/2008/12/09/blu-in-berlin

Or maybe I just get this impression because they are all painted on houses :D

Law / Biz in Poland - foodstuff export out of Poland [3]


So set yourself up as a Sole trader here in Poland.
Google it, unfortunately I'm not able to provide you with very much useful info.

Food / Pinto beans in Poland [17]


Go to Meiselsa no. 5 in Kazimierz.
A few months ago an all organic fast food place opened, they for sure have black beans, and I am sure they'd sell some to you if ur desperate :-)

Work / How to find an IT internship, work placement, graduation assignment in Cracow? (Krakow) [10]

Alrighty.
I had many friends who took Internships in the US, they are more than willing to take you in.
Just don't expect to get paid at all, or in case very little.

Anyways some of the people I knew ended up in cool places, and for very respected companies. So in case that has your interest try looking into it.

Work / How to find an IT internship, work placement, graduation assignment in Cracow? (Krakow) [10]


Internship (IMO) is unpaid help.. So whoever you contact will basically take you in!
Contact all the majors in Cracow,
- HCL
- IBM
- Capgemini

Those were just a few..
Like F Stop said, pitch some idea or whatever be proactive!

This is the issue with people with fancy masters etc. they don't know how to cooperate outside of studies..

Life / Thinking of a move to Wroclaw, Poland [13]


Which areas are these in Krakow?
I'm sure you'd say Nowa Huta, but I've been there twice Friday and Tuesday night after dark.

Podgorze I almost live in, that place is nothing close to Dangerous. Offcourse you can find danger everywhere you want, it all depends on your behavior!

Study / what kind of job I can work during university? (Krakow) [15]

I will also start my studies next year at Krakow university of Economics.
You can rent a room and live 2 people for around 400ZL all inclusive pr. month.

Besides this you'll need around 1000ZL pr. month to live (not good, but cheap student life) but for 2000ZL pr. month you'll live pretty okay while studying if you just share a room.

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?

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]

Okay, yea actually it might be hard for you to find a job considering your only language is English. Or at least find a decent paying job.

Learning Polish will def be a help, but you'll still need to have some relevant experience to be hired within a hotel or such.

There is a big tourism industry in Krakow for sure. If I were you I'd save some of those British pounds and start a small business here based on tourist coming from Britain (or something).

I'm from Denmark/Us.

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]


Yea I feel ya.
Which fields can you work in? What languages do you speak etc?

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]


Its kinda early to be looking for those things, dont you think?

Food / Cost of tobacco in Poland [17]


They do, and its like 11Zl a pack.

Love / Where to meet a foreign guy in Poland outside a club/disco [12]


I disagree, nothing more seductive than a girl smiling/flirting on the streets. Unfortunately it always ends up being a one time smile in the crowd, and then you never see her again.

The clubbing scene is indeed annoying, so why don't you just go to some cozy bars and chat up some foreign guys?
With that being said, I don't really understand why you'd want a Foreign guy when you could have a Polish gentlemen, but that's all up to you :-)

Travel / House clubs in Warsaw? [18]

Isn't it just because all the students in Warsaw went to their hometowns for the summer?

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.

Travel / Need a Guide to the Polish history and culture, I'm from Finland [27]

Def not :-)
But you have a good connection between Warsaw and Krakow, but besides this the railroad system really blows!

Life / Online Shopping in Poland - Any websites where I can get brand names for a discount online? [7]

I'm not sure if it's similar to the sites you posted above, but Asos.com is quiet good with Discounts also there is free worldwide shipping which is great so it's worth to check out.

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.

Travel / Weekend In Lodz. Things to do? [10]

A bottle of vodka at a bar pub depending on the place goes from 90ZL (16,97GBP) to 150ZL (28,29GBP).

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.

Work / Working in Poland without speaking Polish [75]

Its impossible, can't be done.

Love / Best way to find a Polish husband...ideas? [120]

It really sounds to me like your over thinking this whole serious relationship thing!

You said your 25 or younger, why is it already so necessary for you to find the one?
For many this is a long and hard travel throughout life for many to find this one person, and believe me, many gets abused during that travel men as well as women!

I don't understand all of the standards/limitations you make in the threads, regarding to which men you want to be serious with? Every guy form every country is different, you can't go stereotype German/North Europeans as insensitive based on one or a few bad experiences.

Why limit yourself with these requirement? IMO you never know who you are going to fall in love with, and to be honest I think 70% of people on earth (self calculated :-) got married to someone who was not their type, but instead became their type because they earned it, by showing her respect and honesty and proving that they are good people!

Stop trying so hard, you'll get to exactly where you need to be it's just a matter of time.

Classifieds / Game of poker in Krakow? [15]

Case is we have not meet and played poker in awhile, but since we are already 3 on here and then ill find a friend or 2 and we can arrange a game?

Travel / An American In Poland: where should I go, what to see? [9]

Hi Currian,

I see your from Columbus, I myself is Danish but were living in Mansfield OH, for almost 10 years.
Anyways I'm now situated in Krakow so my advice if you wanna experince ''Polish life'' during the day, go to for example Alchemia in the Kazimierz district of Krakow during the day and have a coffee, after that have a small walk in Nowa Huta (old communist neighborhood of Krakow) and then if the wheather allows it go to this lake in the Ruczaj district (unfortuantly I can't remember the name) which is absolutely beautiful surrounded by rocks, not many tourist knows of this place but its amazing, and also small adventure because it's somehow a bit forbidden to enter :-)

My other advice for you is just to stay away from the big places (Restaurants, bars etc) and instead just go explore and enter smaller less touristic bars and cafes, then I'm sure you will experience real Polish life.

Best of luck, and I hope you'll enjoy your stay in this lovely country!

Life / Moving to Poland - tips, Do's and Don'ts [5]


Use your common sense, and you'll be just fine.
And avoid Polish kebab, its nasty!

Work / 4-5,000 gross enough to live off for 1 person in Poznan? [13]


Yes we will probably be looking at around 1700ZL pr. month atleast expect so.
Food pr. month you can do for 30ZL pr. day so yea IMO like 1000ZL pr. month would be good to have for food.

But to be honest if you'll get 3000NET that will leave you left with basically nothing, so consider if its worth it or atleast do all you can to get the 5000 Gross.

Travel / English man going to clubs in Warsaw! [8]


I second that buddy!

Work / 4-5,000 gross enough to live off for 1 person in Poznan? [13]

Hi Russ,

I would say that it could be a bit of a struggle on 4000 brutto which would be like 3000 NET.
You can live on it, but considering that you need a 1 bedroom apt. in the city you will be left with like 1800-2000ZL pr. month for food, clothes, travel etc. It's a bit low IMO, offcourse it depends on your live style and so.

But from my advice you should go for the 5000 Brut. which would leave you with like 36-3700ZL which you will be able to live a quiet okay life for one person.

Travel / Free wifi in wroclaw and krakow? [12]

Hi Greg,

Almost every cafe in Kazimierz district has wifi, I believe the same goes for Rynek.
If you need wifi during the day hours, I can recommend going to Alchemia in Kaz very good atmosphere!
