Love / Indian national is seeking help to get my Polish wife back! [30]

You seem to be a good guy. As I said it can take some time, her mother can not isolate her forever. Anyway people like your parents in law could make you a lot of troubles, even if they are not smart enough to win the game. Take care about your police records, because if you already have a "blue card" in evidence, what is very possible reading your posts - you will have probably some problems in future - ask you lawyer to check this.

President of Indian association in Poland could not help you with people like that, even if he had best intention. Employ a lawyer - woman would be the best in that case.

Hmm, It can take some time. If you love your wife and child it's worth to figth anyway. She must be separated from her mother first. At the moment my advice is - talk to lawyer (maybe you should ask some other Indian guys in Warsaw to advice you a good one). It's a free country. Nobody can limit your contacts with your wife and kid without court decision.

Thats a different story - take a lawyer. You had a bad luck. Your parents in law are trying to create the evidence for the divorce case. Now you must avoid to be blacmailed. Your wife is probably dominated by her mother and I guess she and her family are not well educated, are rather poor and living in Wolomin area. Don't talk to anybody from that side without lawyer.

That's not easy. There is no any law in Poland to force her to be with you. She must decide herself.

Language / Should I just learn German? [55]


Also young generation in big cities in Russia know English well.
I've learned Russian at school. As I'm Polish it's not easy to compare to Polish language, but I think the grammar is more easy. You should just learn how to read and write in cyrillic alphabet what is not that hard. Polish is useful language to learn at the moment, but Russian is useful maybe a little bit more.

Law / Question about a Nintendo DSi bought on allegro.pl - will everything be in Polish? [10]


They officialy do not service any equipment bought by other distribution channel. But maybe in Saturn or Mediamarkt service they could change it for him If he kindly ask.

Law / Question about a Nintendo DSi bought on allegro.pl - will everything be in Polish? [10]


I don't think so. I Krakow must be a lot of Nintendo specialists anyway.

UK, Ireland / Crying Polish truck driver on British roads is Internet hit [269]


Absolutely right.

20 years as truck driver, Russia, Turkey no problem - only England problem. To be honest - if he stopped hist truck an a German highway he could get 300 EUR ticket - not just 30 Pounds.

I am sure he never stops at autobahn there, same as anather Turkish driver.

Travel / My holiday, Gdansk or Kaunus, Lithuania? Help me decide! [23]

UK, Ireland / Are british getting ready to expell "Eastern Europeans" ? [16]


Most of people think I'm German / Ausrtian. Most Poles look even different than Czech or Lituanians - in 50% I can see the difference, but it's still the sam race.

UK, Ireland / Are british getting ready to expell "Eastern Europeans" ? [16]


So what - Eastern European is somthing worse than nigger? I don't care - they can call me Eastern European if they want. They can't be rasist just because we are the same race, but just other nacionality. It could be called an economic level discrimination, but wait maybe another 10 years ...

Travel / No warnings to soccer fans going to Euro 2012 about Polish drivers and Polish roads? [40]

Law / Polish speaking business partner [16]


What kind of business? There are some general business forums, but in my opinion it isn't a good place to find serious business partner. If you don't want to write more details in this thread you can contact me by PW.

Lodz is even worse. I would prefer Katowice. The city and region is growing fast.

That's why it could be a good idea. Even in Germany there are so many good steak houses offering argentinian beef. Very few people in Poland know what the real steak is.

Also not so many know what is a Wendy's style hamburger, but certainly they don't like amercican donuts - Dunkin Donuts bankrupt some years ago. TacoBell and Dominos Pizza are't the favourite tastes either.

Life / Which services is Poland still waiting for? [218]


Not exactly. If you open first Wendy's in Poland or a good chain steakhouse - you will be succeful.

Before you start any business in Poland you shoud know that you must have your own capital to start. Polish banks do not give credits for new business.

Relax - Wroclaw students life is great. I lived there for almost 1 year. I was employed in a corporation - always in rush, so I could just observe the students life there. If I was young again I would like to study in Wroclaw.

History / Early 80s - Could just anybody come stroling on in? [11]


People born in Poland in 60's mostly did't hear about Jews. Some matters regarding Jewish , Ukrainian, Czech (Czechoslowak), Lituanian history in 20 century and their relations to Polish people were not presented at history lessons. Nothing about Jews in Poland was presented in public conversations and press articles (same as UPA, Katyn, Polish - Soviet war in 1920 and Polish tanks in Prague in 1968). Most of that generation did't know any Jews and had no any sentiment.

Not Russian but Soviet. Improvement concerned only that who were still alive. Read about this:

So what - next revolution? Read about 1917 in Russia, 1980 in Poland - poor left poor as they were before, but some others reached their goals.

History / What do Polish people think of Palestinians? [20]

Don't listen to wladyslaw. Always say you are Palestinian. People will even shake your hand when you say it in Poland. Don't be shy. Never hide your nationality.

You need to read more about Poland, maybe some other threads in this forum,
