Life / How do the Polish feel about air pollution in their cities? [35]

most people are really not too bothered.

they are scared of talking loud!

The govt would take money only for stupid infrastructural development from the EU, but not to resolve the issue of air pollution. Come 2020, it will affect even more locations close to Poland.

the air is starting to smell of sulphur and by 22:00 it is really minging.

Spot on. still time to develop, you can compare Poland to Madagascar or even Mozambique these days! ;)

Love / Questions about Polish Men - flirting, cheating, liking? [44]

well, so many times ive been clubbing and I can say that I've met few ladies who like to have 'fun' when they are out despite the fact that they are married or in a relationship with someone. I have many friends who are foreigners like me, and get many ladies for a night stand or just kissing and all that!

Law / Immigration police visits. Any change in law regarding my stay in Poland? [5]

Hi. I am applying for an extension regarding my stay in Poland. This is the third time I am doing it in a row. I already have my work permit and an indefinite work contract. However, today I received two guys from the Border force who were visiting my neighbours to ask some information about me (which I know is pretty normal). then, these guys saw me getting out of my house (on my way to work), they stopped me and wanted to talk to me!

So they invited themselves in my house and started asking me questions same as the application form and about my work, earnings, families and studies (which is distant learning in UK- none of their business).

Just few hours ago, I had a visit from my HR who said to me why two guys from the Immigration office came to visit me (she knows that I am extending my VISA). But even for her it was ridiculous, as no one from the Immigration office came to visit the HR personnel regarding such kind of cases.

Any change in law or anyone had an experience like this?

Life / Eating out in Poland, is it expensive? [28]

Expensive or Cheap.. Trust me- eating out is not tasty at all here in Poland, specially in Krakow and specially if you have tried many other restaurants in other countries! Chinese restaurants, Indian restaurants as well as Turkish Kebabs are here just for name sake! And I have no idea who will go to a 5 start restaurant to eat Kotlete, kapusta and zimniaki!

Life / Do Poles have a problem understanding American English? [76]

from friends and people I've met around (all polish)- no one likes American English - and their American accent! they all prefer British English... both accent, way of writing, and Oxford dictionary! ;) same as the rest of the world...

Even they find both difficult- 'American English and 'British English'! As Poland is more influenced by US, so they don't have much opportunities to learn the real English! otherwise, no one in Poland would even bother to listen to what they nowadays call - 'american english'

Love / Why should I support my partners sister and boyfriend? [23]

Report them to the immigration department or the police!
Tell them that they came into your premises without your consent- trespassing!
your girlfriend is from a village so she will always be by the side of her family!
If she run away, you can file a case against her and take custody of your kid- If not, then she will fight against you and you will have to pay compensation and work like a slave (same as how many British girls do these days) and she will be with your baby and you will work your ar*e off to pay more than what you would spend on your kid!

She is from a Polish village.. and I have enough experience from someone from these areas! And these girls get brainwashed by their brother/ sister/ parents/ friends VERY easily mate! And if you keep her sister and Co with you just for the sake of the baby, then mate.. you would be the total loser!

Think about what I said! there is much sense in it!

Love / Why should I support my partners sister and boyfriend? [23]

It might work in Mauritius but not in Poland.

Mate, please read from the beginning. The guy is in the UK and not in Poland. Secondly, it has nothing to do with Mauritius. could you speak sense sometime. Thanks. :)

They had his consent at the beginning.

Yeah, but it could be for a limited time. After that its called trespassing. Ok I can have guess staying at my place over a weekend, but if after the agreed period they don't move out, then it is actually a criminal offence according to English Law.

Am I right smurf?

Life / Going to Poland in a hijab - Polish people and Islam [154]

If you lived without the hijab for 10 years then nothing will happen if you take it off for a few days.

No offence. But this was FUNNY! haha.

Those trolls are getting more and more intelligent. I account it for the beneficial influence of PF.

Spot on! I don't think anyone in this modern world will leave the freedom of have an 'open' face and then decide to wear hijab on! thats bullo*cks girl! know how to write your story!

Love / Why should I support my partners sister and boyfriend? [23]

Never lived in the UK so why giving advices that could result in OP's trouble?

Please don't judge me when you know nothing about me. I don't want to make things personal here. This guy needs help and not your bull*hit!

no you are wrong, if he invited them in then they are not trespassing.

Ok. let's say its not. But after the invitation, now 'DAVIDUKGUY' you can write a letter addressing to this couple and request them to leave and give them a notice of one week. After 7 days have passed, you can enforce the law. Because the house contract (I am assuming) is under your name, and after a certain period of stay, your landlord can increase the rent and make you pay for all these days that the couple have been staying. English law isn't so broad, specially contract and tort!

Love / I have a crush on my boyfriend's Polish friend ( advice needed ) [33]

Most Polish guys I know, believe in the "bros before hoes" principle.

the other half do it a different way.

Other thing - there is a fat chance that your "Polish love" is a Roman Catholic.
Taking father away from children, being a "family crusher" is not something that would be treated lightly by the priest-confessor.

you mean to say that this never happened in Poland then. I don't think you should bring religion into it. Its not cool.

want him just to bang bang with him tho,

come on! just go for it! make yourself happy and see where you are after this. if you think that he is the man, then go for him, if not, go back with your little boy!

Love / I am in a serious relationship with a girl i met on-line from Poland - advice needed [19]

by the end of the year i would move to Poland for her.

I just want a fresh start.

Mate! an advice! don't move to Poland or to any country only because of a girl! Specially a girl you never met!

Trust me! She is 20 and things can change a lot.

First, t
ake couple of weeks vacation and spend it in Poland.

Thats right! come over in the summer and spend few weeks here. get to know your girl and life here and then you make a decision! As I understood, you will put nearly everything on stake to come and live here.

Concerning girls, this is not a problem in Poland, but getting a job specially if you speak only English, would be hard!

Australia / Australian citizen wanting to go to Poland for as long as possible - needs Polish Visa [49]

As I said, the "foreign boy moves to Poland to be with Polish girlfriend" story rarely has a happy ending.

True! I've been through and saw my foreign friends having the same issue!

Our relationship is actually genuine and real and it is worth doing everything we can to be together permanently.

at 20... mmmm I was the same mate! Been there done that. Moving to another country because of a girl- it is not really a good idea- you can ask any of us (how has experience and how it ended).. i think you need ideas from your friends and families rather than us here. Because if the girl dumps you, then I don't know what will happen to you!

the fact that you moving to a new country which is not really similar to yours and on top the language will be your biggest enemy! Its gonna be hard mate! One thing- if you really want come over to Poland- dont do it because of a girl! Girls you will find plenty here. But think about YOUR future first!

Love / Polish girls don't go for one night stands, is it true? [56]

My friend told me that polish girls don't go for one night stands, they usually want something permanent is it true??

Yes they do! I've had myself been lucky few times. and If not me, then one of my mates would surely land up with someone. dont stay too long with a chick dont willing to chat up. Krakow is the place of night clubs... and lots of chicks! you come from Swiss... spend some of your dough on expensive drinks! they would bend over easily.

Life / What is the best platform to sell items in Poland? [17]

[Moved from]: Ebay.pl v Allegro.pl - Which one would people in Poland trust more?

Hello.

If you are in Poland, which one would you consider to buy it from? Whats the traffic for these two sites? Does Allegro has more customers than ebay.pl? And the diffenrence between the costs (incurred by the seller- without selling an item and after an item has been sold)?

Which one would people in Poland trust more and/ or do more business with?

Thanks

Life / What is the best platform to sell items in Poland? [17]

Ebay doesn't let Polish citizens to sell just for Polish market

So it means that if I place an item on eBay.pl to sell, I don't need to place it on ebay.co.uk?

It's worth keeping Amazon in mind too

Yeah, but in Amazon, the procedures to sell is a bit complicated. And my items are not really electronics, rather textiles/ garments.

Law / Value ( € or PLN) of handmade painting on clothes [10]

How long does it take.. 3-4 hours, depending on the drawing itself.
Material could cost around 50zl - 80zl depending on the drawing again.
It will be sold online - so distribution costs incurred by buyer.
Selling it only online (at the moment)
Target market would be people who uses garments. well, to be more specific- age range would be 10-40 years who would consume those goods.

News / New Polish gambling law - outlawing gambling except in casinos [34]

I am with Bet365. They did a long check- calling me from the office in UK and asking me few security questions. I did not have to register a credit card nor make a deposit via paypal. And believe me, the odds for football are better than any sites.

Back to the question.

Do I need to pay tax on my wins? I am in Poland and the betting company is registered in UK...

As far as I know that on winnings like gambling, lottery, lotto, ect... you don't pay tax. but this is Poland.... So I don't know if they have the same set of rules.
