It's a tough place to start if you don't have any experience, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I lived there for over 2 years and the longer I was there the more I liked it.

Although I miss the days when it was rare to hear people speaking English around town.

But what are you going to do? Besides I'm one of those people.

MOD Edit

Quote:
If you get a positive feeling, get on the plane.


That's your advice? If some DOS blows a bit of hot air up his $&*^#, he should leave his life back home and move to Central Europe?

Quote:
Try two big cities, north of Warsaw.


Which cities? Bialystok? Do you mean Gdansk, which is really towards the west? There isn't much due north of Warsaw. Do you know anything about Poland? What are you talking about?

Quote:
Stay away from the Southern cities (too isolated and too cold)


Stay away from Krakow? Isolated? What?! Have you ever been there? It's perhaps the most interesting city in Central Europe.

Quote:
Warsaw itself (too expensive, overpopulated)


The salaries are much higher in Warsaw. What does "overpopulated" mean? Is it more densely populated than other large cites? Is the standard of living higher despite the higher cost of living? Do you have a shred of information to back up what you're saying?

Quote:
stay as close as possible to the border with Germany and/or the Baltic Sea


So he should live north of Warsaw, which is in the east of Poland, but still live near Germany and the Baltic Sea? Explain that one. MOD Edit[/b]

Why shouldn't he? He's coming anyway. If he gets some out of 20 glassblowers to offer him a job, there is no stop.

Any educated mind can trace an imaginary line, parallel to the Equator, across Warsaw, and consider anything North of Warsaw, the northern, eastern, western and middle parts of Poland to include the following cities: Bydgoszcz, Szczecin, Olsztyn, Gdansk, Torun, Bialystok... And Poznan, which is geographically above that line, by a whisker.

Are these rhetorical questions or you just happened to find out about Warsaw? If you don't know what overpopulated means, look it up.

That's right. Poznan, Gdansk, Szczecin...
