Poland: Purchasing a Flat:

Good luck, Polish banks are not foreigner friendly, in fact they are not even local friendly. This even after they have greatly improved. You think they would with every other business being a bank. The most friendly foreigner friendly banks currently (they change) Alior (great exchange rates), and M-Bank. Its far better to get a USA loan if you can stretch it. Be careful when hunting. Real estate agents are like street walkers and their brokers like pimps. It still needs a lot of reform (and it is better then it was). Pay no commissions! If you buy a flat, do your homework, and talk to the building rep and admin people.

Poland: Expat around Tricity:

I and my family live in Gdansk. I am American/Lith. I don't know of any groups. There are a lot of English speakers around Gdansk, due to tourism. Gdynia's tech crowd is growing large, and the English crowd is growing.

I live here, from the USA and Ireland. I would never go back. The quality of life is so much better in Poland. I am never going back.

Since your not working, the south and west are open up. Skip anything near or between Dublin and Belfast.

Ireland: Currency Questions:

Chase's BA card in the US has no foreign fees and a chip. which is very useful in Europe.

Ireland: Irish Driving License:

Look up where your going, and their pass rate. I know from experience, they fail people on the first time, just to show their doing their job. This will really be true as a foreign national. So make sure your studied up.

Poland: Americans in Poland:

Hi, I would like to know if you know of any English teaching opportunities in the Tri-City area? I am an American from New England.
