Life / Indian Stores In Warsaw [139]

hmmm vega is hari krishna? that is news to me. I eat there quite often and you can eat for 10zl and I havent seen any haris running around. And call centers are good jobs for Indians and they are good for the west as well

Life / Indian Stores In Warsaw [139]

Hmm so I went to Namaste and I must say I was unimpressed. I lived in India off and on for the past 8 years. Nice people and atmosphere but the food was subpar unfortunately and I was a bit put off by the plastic forks and so forth. I would say the Vega at Kino Femina is far better quality and value. Just my two cents, no offense to the Namaste people. I met some Punjabis and had a nice chat. But of course it could just be taste. For me there was no taste and for my polish friend it was too spicy. At Vega you can get a full meal for the price of jeera rice at Namaste.

Love / Virtual Relationship of an Asian girl with a Polish man [43]

if he comes there then you can see. that is the best. i used to live in asia and I understand the thinking. and it is different than the west but up to the point of meeting him in person and getting to know him like that you dont really know the guy. live your life, enjoy your internet connection with him but dont hold your breath

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

I have to say that I don't hate Poland at all

I agree with you. Its been over a year and although its not all roses no place is. I have lived in other places as well and its fine here. No matter where you go there you are. If you dont like yourself than you wont like anyplace. I mean you as in one not anybody in particular.

Life / 3 reasons why you hate Poland. [1049]

by all means do not go to india. they are the worst or best line skippers and starers. I got into a nice shoving match last time I was there although I actually enjoyed it and had a laugh about it with the guy later when he was standing behind me

Work / What Jobs are there in Poland for an Englishman besides teaching english? [70]

I think a trained, qualified, experienced chef can work anywhere in the world. short of that I bet there are many IT jobs available. but if you are not qualified in any specific field than english teaching is the most viable option. you can try it you might like it. for years I thought I would hate it but I actually really enjoy it.

USA, Canada / Getting a VISA to USA by a Polish person nowadays [339]

so I have little sympathy

the situations are completely different. poles have to pay 100 dollars just to apply for a visa with no reimbursement if denied. americans get 90 days free of charge. as well there are loads of americans staying in poland illegally. as far as poles illegally in the usa people do things simply for economic reasons. those days seem gone as far as poland is concerned at least so far. if the usa would offer some sort of amnesty i bet many poles would leave the usa but they dont because of fear of getting caught and being black listed

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.

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

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
