Work / Moving to Warsaw, teaching but hoping to deviate into business environment [16]

Appreciate the response, i understand the "polish girl english guy" thing but 4 years together should help, and we have a flat already in piaceszno (should of mentioned). Doesn't seem much hope of a decent job in anything else but Im gooona give it a go and see. I'm fully prepared for the worst and leaving wont be hard if needed. Thanks for the rundown on costs, I didn't expect to save much or anything but hope to have a fulfilling enough lifestyle, though as you said the teaching is time consuming.#

Hope to repost positively in a month or so though a lot of the other posts don't give me much faith.

Work / Moving to Warsaw, teaching but hoping to deviate into business environment [16]

Having taught in Thailand with my GF she had to move home and I am following her to Warsaw, a place called Piaczeno. I have a teaching job lined up for around 50zl an hour, though do hope that I might find something else after a while. My questions are:

1. How many hours at 50zl will be needed for decent standard of living ie; gym, drinks and dinner out once a week? Plus save a bit..

2. What sort of work is available in other industries for someone with v.little polish but native English. I have experience in property.
3. Any places you can recommend for leisure with GF, or classes/activites for non Polish speaker.
4. Would it be hard to find an English speaking driving instructor.
5. Any general tips for adjusting to Warsaw of any kind would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you can help and please ask anything. Moving in a week or two so would appreciate anything to settle nerves... :)

Pint for the best answers....

Cheers
