How long is Christmas-break in Poland?
Do Polish schools still have Christmas break? Because before Christmas, my German-class were pen-palls with some Polish students, but they haven't responded since mid-december, not even the teacher writes back... So I was thinking, if they consider this pen-pall thing purely a school-thing, that would explain why they wouldn't respond while being on break..

christmas break was from 23.12 to 02.01. now 2 weeks of winter break are coming up;) in poland each region has this break in the different time, so it depends on the city your friends live in, for example I live on the west side and my break starts on 29.01.

Poland is one of the poorest countries in Europe.

Poland. A really fun and great place and a lot of hard work. You first have to learn Polish. Some things you might want to do at home is plant some seeds. It's a great farming area. If you lived in the city, you may want to look around and shop. If you live in the city, you can't do anything at home. There are some people that will give you horse rides around the beach and into the forest, returning you to home.

My parents are Polish immigrants and I've been there several times so take my advice: Life in Poland is a lot like it is in America. People my age had the same interests and had the same things, the only thing I'd say are movies and music come later, but I'm sure you would handle that just fine Also, it depends where the family you would be staying with is, if they're in the city don't expect it to be much different, on the farm however you may have to get used to it. Also, the cars are a lot smaller, and most people only use public transportation anyway, you would definitely make friends just like you would here. : )

poland is a great place to go it is fun and there r alot of things to do there if u go u will have fun
5 :
Great , Polish people , chatlotic place , much better then American children.
6 :
Polish teens will be very friendly to you. They all have some knowledge of English so communication won't be a problem. Your experience in Poland will differ depending on the place you live. However, in general you will have a lot of fun. Polish teens are A LOT more independent than American teens because of the public transportation system. They do stuff as people do here, but they also go to theater, concerts, museums and art galleries. That's what I did when I was in High School in Wroclaw. I agree that movie premiers are later in Poland, but music - Poland has music from all over the World. Americans know music mostly from America, but in Poland you will listen to different music. I always buy CD's when I go there. In Poland you will be surrounded by great architecture and culture. There is a good chance that you will make friends for life when you go there. You will experience night life, something teens in America can't really do due to the drinking age difference. For how long would you go there? Do you know where you would stay? If you don't already, then learn some basic Polish, the rest will come while you're there. Good luck and have fun. Poland is great!

Generally people in Poland are well educated and education is on high level compared to western europe and america (Poland has even more academic graduates than more populous and richer Germany). Standards of life are almost identical to those of US and western Europe, but finding a good job and earning good money is a lot harder here. Economy is still expanding and still has a bright future (Poland is one of the less affected by the crisis country in Europe). All in all it's really fun to live here and it doesn't looks like some ignorant stereotypical idiots tend to say.
8 :
Life in Poland is not much different than in the States; Poland may be smaller and have fewer good roads but from the point of view of your location that is not much of a difference. And of course, you will make friends - first at the school you will go to.
9 :
education is much higher than in the US. although ppl complain too much unlike the ppl in the US! they don't smile as often as Americans do!! kids in Poland don't go to schools/colleges by cars and very few have their own car(difference again). although the life and the culture of plish is rich and this is what you should look forward to!!
10 :
From the end :) - Yes, for sure you will find friends here, cause we are friendly more than you can see in the streets. You will find life in Poland cheaper in many cases -e.g. eating outside. Living may vary, because we (I mean younger people) spend more time in clubs and just out in the city. From my family (LA, CA) I know American students do not go outside because of crime problems - in comparison Poland is much more safer. You must now, that Poland has specific climate and get to know more about it - probably (as a student) you will be here in winter, and winter in PL - that IS SOMETHING. Temperature may be surprisingly low, and life still goes on :) As you can read above people of Poland are warm, kind and honest to they relatives and friends. Do not reject invitations, especially home invitations - you will get chance to know better our culture what can be described best way in polish proverb "Guest in the house, as God in the house". Enjoy our country and be welcome :) One more thing - we have got the most beautiful girls in the world, about boys I can't say, sorry... :)

i hear there is alot of unemployment but im not sure about that. kids do more work there than kids in america(helping around the house and working outside alot). i dont know what else to tell you. its a really nice place and i think you should go there. and the roads, some of the roads are reallyyyyyyyyyy small
12 :
Great idea. I was there for a student exchange also and it was just great. The people are very nice and many of the young ones speak English.You can rely on public transportation to go anywhere and it's quite safe to be out late in the evening because there's a lot of people around at that time. There are plenty of museums and churches where you can learn about the culture and lots of pubs and discos where you can have fun.

hey bud, u have tough work ahead! now with all new loads of inmigrants coming to the republic theres loads of people available for those low-profile jobs ur searching for. even if u go around giving out cvs in pubs it will be quite hard to find anything- ireland is not the jobs-heaven anymore... so, once u know its not gonna be so easy, i can tell u to go and visit a few places, like irishjobs.ie jobs.ie recruitireland.ie graftonrecruitment.ie jobfinder.ie monster.ie and c what u can find there. other option is saving some money previously nd head for a smaller city than dublin - check limerick, galway, corck as medium sized cities, or athlone, waterford, wexford, sligo, for smaller sized cities (not villages, ah, though i think that would be the best option). bring with u a big bunch of cvs nd leave them everywhere looking nd talking ur best. sure sth will come out! good luck anyway

theres a pub in dublin called the findlater, it would be great during summer because it brings in alot of customers during the summer especially gaa match days. Dont think you need much english, just to understand orders and that. check out for any jobs available http://www.irishjobs.ie/
