Work / An Australian girl living in Poland: Residence permit, please help! [44]
No one wants to make a decision that they could get in trouble for. It's much easier to say no.
But I'm hearing mumurings that they can (but this doesn't mean they will) legalise an illegal stay if there's exceptional circumstances

It depends on when you put in for your permit and papers. If you applied before the first half of your 90 days was over you are supposed to be able to stay. Since you received your paperwork why do you have to leave?
I would call the Polish embassy in the country you are from and ask them.

I would make the best decision for yourself and your family. I followed my gf to Poland and I never regretted it at all. Money is not the end all be all in life. I would rather be poor and happy then rich and suffering.

Food / Why carp for Polish Christmas? [157]
We don't have farm raised carp in the US like it is in Europe. Thats why Its much better to eat over there. I tried it and did not like it. It wasn't bad but it wasn't that good, at least to my taste.
Carp was imported into the US back in the 1800's as a game fish.

Work / Teaching English/CELTA at the IH, Krakow [13]
I went to IH Wroclaw. I found it to be worth every penny. I don't feel I would have been able to teach without it.
I found the staff in IH Wroclaw to be very organized and had a great time table.
However, I did find them a bit patronizing. I did find them extremely fair.
