Hi, My name is Guillermo Montoya I'm a software enginner and I'm negociating my salary with an IT company in poland. They are intended to give me 10000 PLN gross monthly, is that enough for a single person to live in Poland? and gross ...
Yes, it is pretty enough. One/two-room flat costs about 2000-2500. I pay 1,6 k for my studio. Food - up to 1000. Then you have a margin of about 3000 to do what you like. 10000 gross gives you 7000 in hand. Read More

Food prices U.K Vs. Alicante by Sarah WR
Hi All, Could someone give me an idea as to how food prices in Alicante compare to food prices in the U.K. I am trying to get an idea as to whether my grocery bill will go up or down. Many thanks, Sarah & Matt
Try Mercadona. They have pretty low prices on basically everything. Fresh fish, cheap beverages and alcohol, tasty pastries and sweets, meat - quite ok in my opinion. As I have lived in Sweden, every country is much affordable to my wallet. ... Read More

Do not be too optimistic about your potential career in Sweden. Sorry for cutting your wings, maybe you will end up with a good job, nice Volvo, beautiful blonde at your side and 3 trips to Thailand per year. Maybe. However, here, without Swedish ... Read More

It makes no sense to preach or try to repair the world. I am terribly tired of all that "lovers" forcing into my mail box. I hate being called "baby", "princess" or "sweatheart" by a total stranger. ... 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 ...
Asian fit in easily in Poland. You do not stand out much since Poles hve had at least 30 years to get used to Asians who come here doing business. Besides, there are many mixed marriages and Asian look is not as striking as for example African. ... Read More

I feel very safe here. It is sort of hard to get out of your comfort zone once you get there. I can not imagine living somewhere else on Earth. Maybe Norway, their money can speak to me ;). I am not in unconditional love realtion with Sweden. It is ... Read More

Adah, if I may give you an advice - concentrate on your school and try to get a job to seal your future here. Swedish approach towards marriage is not as conservative as for example in my country and here a visibly higher percentage of relationships ... Read More
