History / polish eagle tattoo, eagle head is facing to the left, is this a bad thing? [10]

No, I don't know what you mean. You said you have 100% Polish blood, so that means that you have a clear, unbroken line of Polish blood dating back to the founding of the first Polish state.

Either that, or you're not 100% Polish.

Scoop: No-one is polish according to your criterium.

Law / "Good" Polish Bank ? [19]

Hello I am goign to live in poland and I don't trust my country's bank anymore. They recently made me pay twice a transaction I made with a debit card (they multiplied the ammount by 2). French banks are broke. Since poland don't have the euro, I guess it is a little safer right? What is the history of bans in poland? Has it ever had bank runs, collapes, things like that ?

Thanks

Life / Lodz vs Wroclaw - difference in mentality of people? [53]

Cities like paris or rome. As a tourist you have much more to see in these cities. I don't want to troll or anything but poland doesn't have many monuments because most have been destroyed in WW2. In France Spain or Italy, wherever you go there's always something to see. But this is only from a touristic point of view. I don't deny that living in poland is overall more interesting than in the west (otherwise I wouldn't come) but I am still a bit skeptical about the cultural/events thing.

I am not sure Gnynia is that good. If it's like French riviera it's probably not a good place to live in (boring most of the year and with "empty" people).

Life / Lodz vs Wroclaw - difference in mentality of people? [53]

Thank you for your answer. I indeed think that for a long presence Wroclaw has more material things to offer, in theory. But this is poland we are talking about, in theory it sucks, but in fact it's amazing.

So you may not apply materialistic criteria to compare polish cities.

Also compared to rest of europe poland has not much to visit/do anyway so maybe the difference is not that important between polish cities after all. Your point of view is interesting but I am rather curious about the opinion of someone who has actually lived in Lodz.

Life / Lodz vs Wroclaw - difference in mentality of people? [53]

Hello

To sum up:
Could you compare the mentality of people between the two cities ?

Which city do you think is the "best"? I am coming to poland for the "feeling", the friendly people, etc. Not for "beautiful" places. For example I prefer krakow over warsaw (well it's not a very good example because warsaw is ugly but I have only seen 3 cities).

I have read that lodz is a special place in poland, could you explain it?

Also,what is the cost of living ratio between lodz and wroclaw? Rent seems to be about the same (-10%), for what I'm looking for. My source of income should not be based on the opportunities offered by the area.

Don't answer if you are the kind of person who says it's not possible to eat with less than 1000 a month XD, I will not believe you anyway (I can eat in a cheap restaurant for lunch and diner every day with that, and I have only been in poland for 1 week).

Can you tell where you are from in your reply (I am from france)? Because it makes a big difference. It is very hard to get an opinion by redeading comments on this forum becauses answers are always extremes.

Thanks
