Driving in Poland by Maximilien

Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Poland? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excessÂ… what are the characteristics of the driving style ...

Matt

Do you notice any difference between Warsaw and Upper Silesia? >Obscure rules like if so many houses are near the road there is an unmarked speed limit. This is no longer the case. This rule was abolished in the early 1980s, if not earlier. Read More

Safety in Poland by Christine

Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Poland? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...

Matt

I feel quite safe here. Surely, there are some areas that you should not enter at night, and some events you'd better avoid - for example football matches of teams whose supporters do not like each other - but generally Polish criminals do not ... Read More

Polish cuisine by Priscilla

Hi, When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country. What is your favorite food in Poland? What is the local speciality? Share with us the local tastes of Poland and why not your best recipe. Thank ...

Matt

Pierogi z mięsem - pierogi with meat. Actually there's no English word for 'pierogi'. Dumplings or ravioli do not really mean the same food. And never buy 'pierogi z mięsem' in a supermarket. They contain only 6% meat ... Read More

Matt

Hallo Jaky007, kommt deine Familie nicht vielleicht aus Oberschlesien? In my opinion, you should TALK to your girlfriend about the doubts that you have. If my sister-in-law was a stripper or a prostitute, I would not be very happy, but would it ... Read More

Are university dorms in poland co-ed? by polish_heaven

Hey everyone! I'm travelling to wroclaw this summer and will be staying at one of the university dorms. Since I come from a conservative culture, I was wondering whether the dorms there are co-ed in general? Also, are they clean? Any help would ...

Matt

Yes, nearly all university dormitories in Poland are co-educational. Maybe except for those which are run by the Church, but they are only for secondary school students (under 18). There are separate rooms for boys and for girls, but a boys' ... Read More

Poland Visit from New Zealand by gvir

Hi, I understand that New Zealand citizens need not have visa to travel to Poland. New Zealand is listed in Visa free countries on Poland official site. I am basically from India and working in New Zealand under skilled migrant category. So do I ...

Matt

If you are a citizen of India, you need a visa in Poland. If you had a visa of any country that is a member of the European Union (Germany or Lithuania, for example), then you could visit Poland and stay here for a limited period of time (30 days, ... Read More

Dear Friend! It surely isn't my intention to argue with anyone. I admit it is hard - or even impossible - to fully integrate with the Polish people if you look different or belong to a religion that is unknown here. A black person looks quite ... Read More

Dear Marzenna, I strongly disagree that being an atheist in Poland is worse than the devil himself. Most Polish people were baptised in the Catholic Church, true, but a huge majority of them are practical atheists. Many Polish couples live together ... Read More
