Law / English-speaking bank in Warsaw ? [33]

I use Get In. They seem to actually be a Polish bank which isn't easy to find. There is one guy at my branch who speaks English and thats enough for me. I like to try and support the Polish companies when I can.

Work / What jobs pay 10,000 zlotych per month? and Where can i find one? :o) [101]

A benchmark of expected salary is useful for a teacher considering different options of where to teach. You can criticize teachers all you want but if not for teachers you probably wouldn't be able to read this or type your response. Some teachers do it for the money but that doesn't last. I enjoy teaching and also enjoying saving my money while doing it. Some teachers volunteer for free or even pay to volunteer to teach. That is fantastic if that is what makes them happy.

Law / Are Blackberry devices popular in Poland among business and individuals? [57]

Blackberries are the number one business phone for business people in warsaw for sure. The Iphone is a gadget which doesn't provide the same services as a blackberry. Most people here have phones which are given to them by the corporation they work for during their service at the company. The cellular providers often give the phones for free or have a rent to own feature while subsidizing the cost of the phones through the revenue generated by the service contract. When the zl was stronger many people were buying the blackberries from the states. As well the Iphone has many dead zones in the city.

News / Dalai Lama says: "POLAND HAS RETAINED ITS SPIRIT" [77]

ok fair enough seanus but he is teaching the middle path more out of practicality than anything else. a direct uprising against the chinese will only result in a massacre and he realizes that. what else can he do?

News / Dalai Lama says: "POLAND HAS RETAINED ITS SPIRIT" [77]

what is interesting and in some ways forgotten perhaps is that poland itself did not exist for over a hundred years due to occupation. perhaps this is what the dalai lama is referring to in a message of hope to his people. in some ways it is a similar situation. i am going to see him speak on Thursday in warsaw

Study / American Muslim girl thinking to go to Medical school in Poland... [87]

hey emoh. i come from the states and although i am not black i grew up in a mixed neighborhood. I live in warsaw not lodz. my friends from lodz tell me there are some africans there in medical school concerning you not being the only black person. of course you will stand out in a almost exclusively white catholic nation. it doesnt mean you will be harassed or bothered any more than if you were in the white parts of the states. I met a turkish girl here in warsaw who wore the head scarf and she was in school and seemed to like it here just fine. Personally I think you would be better off in warsaw as there are substantially more foreigners here but I am a bit biased

Travel / Praga, Warsaw - looking for some hippish cafes [15]

I know there is a street in praga, warsaw with some hippish cafes. I was over there yesterday looking around but couldnt come across it and everything was closed anyways. Does anybody know where it is? I read about it in a magazine but cant remember which one.
