at school there is a polish student, and she is coming over this weekend.?
I wanted to serve her a typical American meal... but i really don't know what that is. My family eats a lot of Italian. I was thinking maybe mac and cheese with kilbalsa but idk so if anyone has suggestions... please answer. Also the next time she comes over, i would like to serve her something that she would eat in Poland...

umm... Maybe like homade mac and cheese like you said or like hot dogs or hamburgers. America isn't really famous for it's "classic foods" Lol ya those 3 things are about the only 3 thing that orregenated here.
2 :
Meatloaf. Pot Roast. Any kind of casserole. Steak and potatoes. Those are patently American and not something she would get in Poland or be likely to try at a restaurant. As for a polish dish . . . I can't help you, I only know traditional German and Slovak dishes . . . and for some reason the ones I know aren't the same in Poland. Kielbasa and potato pancakes, perhaps?
3 :
I just made pierogis for my Super Bowl party. Stupid easy to make, just pan fry them in butter with some chopped onions. My best friend growing up was Polish and his mom used to make them all the time.
4 :
What is good about being in America is that any food here is American.....it is a melting pot, so whatever you serve it will be American...
5 :
Homemade Mac & Cheese (ditch the kielbasa though) would be fine ... fried chicken ... meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans ... BBQ beef or pork sandwiches, potato salad & coleslaw
6 :
got_scie, oh please keep away from the Mac & cheese, hot dogs and hamburgers. Look at what Tess.Sab is saying to you I would look very seriously at those. As for her second return, don't try and do anything Polish, leave it to the summer and have a cook out in the garden. Chris

Question about Visa to Poland...help!?
Question about Visa to Poland...help!?
I am studying abroad in Poland next year, and I am in the process of applying for a student multiple entry visa. I don't understand the schengen area though...it says on my instructions that "this kind of visa does not entitle the holder to travel through the schengen area." what does this mean? does it mean I can't go there at all? or can I still get in with my passport? help!! I really want to visit some of those countries!

A Schengen tourist visa (type C) issued for a period of up to 90 days allows traveling to all Schengen countries which are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (to include Monaco), Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy (to include San Marino and Vatican City), Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. A national visa (type D) is issued for longer periods than 90 days and only allows to enter the country of issue (Poland) and a prior transit of up to five days through other Schengen countries in order to reach the final destination on the shortest possible route. The student visa you get will state valid for "Poland" and will be a type D. You cannot travel to other Schengen countries during your time of studies unless you hold a passport of a country which is visa exempted for the Schengen countries for tourist purposes of up to 90 days within a 180 day period. Those countries are: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela. If you should have another citizenship you should apply for a Schengen tourist visa (type C) from your home country at the embassy of the Schengen country you plan to visit. An application from Poland to other Schengen countries would only be possible if you hold a Polish student visa valid for longer than 180 days and not shorter than 3 months before the expiration of your Polish student visa.

1. if i were in your place, i would go over the summer 2. this summer when i was flying from illinois to poland i spent about $1,000 on a round trip ticket 3. if i were you, i would stay somewhere around where your family lives so they could show you around. 4. it all really depends. the ice cream is cheaper than it is here, and the electronics are much more expensive 5. some places i would suggest visiting are: Krakow, Gdansk, Warszawa, Wieliczka, Wadowice, Czestochowa...and i could go on forever....

1. I would go to Poland for summer, not as an exchange student! I guess you would want to enjoy your time there, not just sit in school and study! Especially that in Poland students really work their asses off. 2.If you buy your ticket in summer it might cost you a bit more than 1000, if you buy it earlier than the price will be better. The prices go up usually after mid May. 3. I guess you should stay with your family. However the best cities are for sure Krakow and Warszawa. 4. No it's not expensive at all. Everything should be at least 2 times cheaper than US or Canada. 5. Travelling from Poland in Europe is cheap. You might want to take advantage of visiting nearby countries and their capitals. They are really worth vising. Bratislava, Wieden, Budapeszt, Praga, Berlin etc.... I recently came to Poland for few months and now I'm traveling like everywhere because it's so cheap comparing to traveling from America ! While you are in Poland definetaly visit0 any of these Krakow, Warszawa, Zakopane, Gdansk, Sopot, Leba.... Have fun in Poland :)

They will hunt you to the grave, man..............find a way to make arrangements, or your credit will be ruined. You don't have to have the $6K NOW, but they will make a suitable arrangement with you where your credit rating will remain intact.
2 :
If you don't pay, it will ruin your credit regardless of where you are living. Pay what you can pay and do your best. In this day in time, credit card companies will threaten you, but in the end they will work with you if you make an attempt to pay off the debt. At least make the attempt.
3 :
As long as you move to Poland and never return to the USA, you have nothing to worry about because credit cards have to abide by US rules and Poland, as a EU member state, cannot litigate claims made by a US bank. The banks could win judgment against you but that would apply only to the US - not Poland nor anywhere else for that matter. There are no treaties regarding collection of foreign debts. So enjoy....
4 :
Not really a way to resolve it but a way to prevent it in the future:use debit cards.That's the best way to save yourself from overspending. For now, save your money, sell some of your stuff since you're moving, and only buy stuff you absolutely need. Like food, drink, laundry, bills you need, and lay off the beer, video games, and stop shopping until you get back to Poland.Good luck with that.

I'm not sure exactly how much it cost to live in Krakow, but it's a popular city and will probably similar in cost. The polish money is about 3 zloty for one dollar. However, studying in poland costs less. =)
2 :
Small apartment close to the center costs about 1000 PLN per month. Standard food may cost you about 300 PLN a month. Big Mac in McDonald's costs 8.70 PLN, one beer is 2.50 PLN in a market or 7 PLN in a pub. Staying in a student's hostel may cost less than 400 PLN a month, but in this place you share the kitchen, the bathroom, and usually also the bedroom with other people. Inform me if you need to know any other prices. Currently €1 = 3,91 PLN.

Searching for my birth parents in Poland?
Searching for my birth parents in Poland?
Quick background: I was placed in a orphanage in Warsaw Poland when i was around 18 months- my mom would come to visit. All i have is her name and birthdate, i just have my father's name. I just want to know how i can get some information about them? I'm a college student so places where i don't have to pay would be awesome. Any information would be greatly appreciated... 10 to the best. I've tried facebook and myspace and the polish versions.

I really don't know, but what I would do is to find out if the ophanage still exists and contact them directly. Or maybe you can contact the agency that placed you for adoption. I am not sure how the law in Poland works regarding adoptions. But good place to start would be the orphanage. Hope you find your family.
