Ask ten people and you will get 10 different countries...... Do the research yourself and choose one or two that are close.... If you are a college student that shouldn't be too hard. Cheap is relative...it's how much you want to do and spend.
2 :
add to those countries you chose ,Egypt, Saudi, Dubi , Turkey, China it is really good thing to visit other countries and see the differences between you and others good luck in your travels ...
3 :
i highly recommend traveling to europe, even though south america is definitely cheaper. it's an easier cultural adjustment and virtually everyone speaks english. i loved germany, munich is one of my favorite cities. you should check out efcollegebreak.com they have ridiculously cheap summer tours for college students--and they travel basically all around the world. the tours are also great because it's so many destinations on one tour so you don't necessarily have to pick just one country. you can also use my EF College Break Campus Manager Code, TRILI9452 and get an extra $50 off any trip...it's pretty sweet.

I am an Arab and will travel to Poland to study?


I am an Arab and will travel to Poland to study?
is there a racist Is Poland safe for Arab students Can I date a blonde Polish girl for marriage I want information, please

2 :
stick to ur own kind
3 :
It really depends to which part of poland ur going, there is racism but it really depends where u going. In poland pretty much every1 is christian so if ur not christian ppl might be a little racist, Im polish btw and about dating meh idk how to answer that question it really depends on the girls and ur look/character lol
4 :
I'm from Poland and will be going there in a week so I hope I can help you. First of all, Poland is HUGELY white and like 98% Catholic, or close to that, but there has been a lot of travel of Arabs to Europe. Germany has a largely rising Arab population, and the Polish Western area close to it's border resembles Germany in many ways so, I'd think that would be the more tolerant area. Since you are going to study there, I assume you will be in one of the more urban areas like Warsaw or Krakow, which are more to the East, but don't worry about racism. If you like to dress in a traditional fashion, people might stare, but people will most likely be just curiosity driven, not hate driven. If you dress in stuff like t-shirts and jeans you will blend right in. About the dating thing, nothing is stopping you from doing it, but don't expect to find a lot of blondes in Poland that would work out for you. Polish families are like I said very Catholic, so you would have to find a tolerant one. Just to warn you, if my Polish family is generic of all Polish families, you might want to know that we tend to get a bit jealous of each others success. I hope your studies work out, and that I helped in any way, I haven't been there in a couple of years, so this is the best I can tell you based on my knowledge.
5 :
I do not think there will be much problem with staying and studying in Poland - there have been many foreign students from Asia and Africa in Poland. As for dating a blonde Polish girl - it really depends on the girl.
6 :
racism is anywhere, but right, quite a huge one in poland! especially towards arabs, black people, people of different religions etc. so be prepared for that! lots of polish girls(desperate ones) would love to date arabs, and lots of them (as above...) would marry them and realize after a while what they did.
7 :
is there a racist - Yes Poland is racist be aware of that. Is Poland safe for Arab students - Poland isn't dangerous safe for you. Can I date a blonde Polish girl for marriage - Most likely not there is no law to say no but Polish girls like white polish clean guys. I want information, please - Poland is a Catholic place , located in Europe. May not be the Best Place for you personally. Since your not Catholic that will be a big problem and because of your race. But it's not that big of a deal its alright.

hey im a polish blond girl haha ;P lol

How do you get rid of nightmares?


How do you get rid of nightmares?
I have been having continual night-mares for about a month. They usually revolve around death or something trying to hurt me. Last night I had a dream about the holocaust and that I was at Auschwitz. I am 22 years old and live in AZ, and have never been to Poland ever. I am student teaching currently and under much stress with the economy and thinking about looking for a job. Also, I have been using a steroid nasal spray for allergies the past few weeks. What could be causing these nightmares and how do I make it stop???
Psychology - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Probably has to do with stress.
2 :
well its your fear. i imagine happy things before i sleep. and dont worry the economy will get better
3 :
Freud says that dreams are just reflections of events in your life, twisted into seemingly random experiences when you sleep. Try to connect the dream to a problem you have in your waking life, and solve the problem. You being at Auschwitz could signify the poisonous gasses the Nazis used there. And you're using a nasal spray. Coincidence? You are also a student teacher, surrounded by people all day, like someone at Auschwitz might be surrounded by prisoners.
4 :
think positive, usually when i have a lotta negative thoughts i get nightmares. I'm not a very positive person so i at least try to empty my mind
5 :
it depends on your surroundings usually, if there is anthing uncomfortable, move away from it. And try not to stress out so much, and think about happy stuff
6 :
stress can assist in nightmares, as well as eating before bed, watching tv late at night, and a lack of adequate amount of sleep.
7 :
Maybe you saw something about WW2 and concentration camps that got into your mind and so you see it in your nightmares. Also, the stress is affecting you. And I would look up on side effects on that nasal spray, and stop using it if necessary if I were you.
8 :
look at the other side of the hill all question will be answered after u reached it. Don't worry everything will be okay and for the nightmares just keep on repeating ur name and say where u live eventually u will get rid of them.
9 :
I'm no therapist, so unfortunately I can't determine the cause of your nightmares. But to make a guess, I'd say your high stress level has something to do with it. Often times, nightmares result from seeing something frightening, such as a scary movie or witnessing a murder, etc. Also, something is probably really bothering you, most likely a problem you have yet to solve. Sometimes nightmares are a portrayal of your fears, and to get rid of them you must overcome them. But like I said, I'm no professional, these are just what I think and have read before :P Depending on what you believe in, you might want to buy/make an indian dreamcatcher. Some claim that they really work, while others say they do not work. I have used one in the past when I was younger, and I barely ever had nightmares. But I didn't have nightmares on a regular basis to start with so I don't really know how effective it was. But what do you have to lose? It's worth a try :P If you convince yourself that it will work, it very well just might. The human mind is a powerful thing and usually once it is convinced of something, it happens. Anyway, these are my thoughts. Goodluck, and hope i helped! :)
10 :
dreams are caused by messages in your unconscious mind (according to freud) so maybe these nightmares are reflections or stress during the day and other harmful thoughts my advice is to evaluate your situation and well, chill :) hope this helps
11 :
go to sleep and dont resist cuz o nightmares and read b4 bed, and in ur dream think with ALL ur soul that nuthin bad is gunna happen, and if u know ur in a dream, think with all ur soul to wake up. u really havta believe it tho no thoughts intha back of ur mind! u could also try looking at the ground and spinning in ur dream, it changes the scene. But last time i did that there was a bunch of pics in front of my eyes flashing real fast slideshow style. it was sooo scary. hugs n kisses <3, me

Do most teenagers in Poland speak English?


Do most teenagers in Poland speak English?
I am going to Poland to sing but will be interacting with other Polish high school students. Will we be able to communicate?
Poland - 14 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Most likely no
2 :
no...
3 :
Maybe because in Poland teenagers are learning how to speak English in the British style not the american style so you may never know if they don't speak polish.
4 :
Most of the younger Polish citizens start learning English in school. You might want to brush up on your Polish.
5 :
I would say it's a 50/50 chance.
6 :
Yes. Most of teenagers speak English.
7 :
well i lived there nd they learn well i mean da teachers try 2 teach their students english, though they kno basics, like if u ask them somethin they would b able 2 answer in english, so my answer is YES<well most likely>
8 :
i think you might be able to communicate. i live in Poland at the moment. Almost everyone is learning English, but you will find out that Poles don't like making mistakes and so most of the time they feel quite shy if they have to speak a language that they are not used to. But definitely you won't feel like there is no communication at all. try learning their language as well in the few days that you are there, they will appreciate it.
9 :
Hi! A lot of teenagers speak English. They make of course mistakes like me :-) But don't worry, we love foreigners :-) Welcome to Poland!!
10 :
I used to be an English teacher in Poland - and yes, you'll be able to communicate with them well, especially in the bigger cities. Young kids in Poland are very eager in learning new languages and practicing their skills.
11 :
Absolutely. I did the same thing last summer. All eight of the kids I was traveling with had some English, and two of them had phenomanal English.
12 :
You will be able to communicate but if there is a problem with being understood, you simply have to repeat your question or statement more slowly and clearly.
13 :
Everyone is most likely taught english begining from 1st grade, so yes, depends.. most likely you will be able to.
14 :
they DO speak english

I'm thinking of going to Poland for college, what kinds of jobs are good for English Speakers?
Also, what colleges are good for international students? What are good majors for people who know English? I know Polish as well, but I have been living in the U.S

Learn Polish!!
2 :
Nearly all jobs that require a college education would require a knowledge of English. Colleges in Wroclaw, Warsaw and Krakow would be best for a student such as yourself.
3 :
You could be a native speaker teacher in some college of English in Poland.
4 :
If you know Polish you cold be a good translator or private tutor Work as a Native speaker in double language schools or kindergartens. Work as a secretary in U.S or British company. Work for newly formed consulate, or even in a Travel Agency. Schools -Forget about public universities After graduate from Polish University you will know only book knowledge (B.A or M.A is rather a bad idea) exception from this rule depends on what major course you choose. For example -bad decision is to study on public university such specializations like - psychology, sociology, history etc (if you are still desperate to study philosophy choose Jagiellonian University - not only books but also personalities). Good - IT (for example on Warsaw University of Technology (Politechnika Warszawska)- one of best IT schools in the world (see rankings)), Economy (SGH - Warsaw School of Economy) or Foreign relations , diplomacy etc. especially relations with east (former U.S.S.R countries). Oriental languages (Linguistics) Also there are some good public Artistic schools (best are located in Lódź) - Łódź Academy of Fine Arts http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akademia_Sztuk_Pięknych_im._Władysława_Strzemińskiego_w_Łodzi -National Film School in Łódź http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Film_School_in_Łódź ranking of private schools http://www.perspektywy.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3820&Itemid=836 - See Vistula University they have special education programs for foreigners.

How do you respond to people constantly asking you your height when you're tall? ?


How do you respond to people constantly asking you your height when you're tall? ?
Okay so my aunties exchange student from Poland is 6 foot 5, an people Constantly ask her what her height is. She usually answers "Tall." an then they bug her with "No, really!! What is it!" she an my aunty were talkin' about ways to respond because it's really getting tiring for her.

1 :
tell her to answer in metric!
2 :
Say something that doesn't sound right, like 5 feet 17 inches.
3 :
Be proud! I wish I was tall! I'm only 5.10 which isn't very tall at all!
4 :
Give it to them in metric form. They won't have any idea how to convert it and hopefully will shut up.
5 :
I share this pain! I am tall and I can't tell you how many people ask if I play basketball - constantly! Now my response is "I HATE BASKETBALL!" God, just because I am tall does not mean I play sports! And it's always stupid ignorant men who ask. Have her just tell them "I don't own a measuring tape."
6 :
I'm 6'5" and I just say I'm 6'5" but I'm a guy. On women it may be different.
7 :
I was working at macdonalds when I was 17, and this SUPER tall guy came in, he was a friend of my co workers. I was like omg "how tall are you?" He flipped his bottom lip down like a pout and 6'7 was tattooed there. I don't think it hurts, and you can do it really fast. I thought it was super cooL!
8 :
Just give them what they want. Tell them the answer and they will probably not have thought up another answer. Maybe you could say "Tall enough to kick your ass" or "Tall enough to see your dandruff: etc.......
9 :
U can be honest and tell them to go away, or just measure her and tell them that. Hope it helpssss!!!!! :D
10 :
give 'em a math problem! No one likes math! They won't want to know anymore! Make the problem = 57812 for the heck of it
11 :
"Taller than you." That might shut them up. :) Or just the truth. But they won't always let it be at that. Or say a very short height. Again, this might not always work. Or you can just give them this link. It says her height right up there. :)
12 :
Oh, man, I'm sorry. I'm not tall, but my little (ha!) brother's 6' 7". He's been asked if he plays basketball so many times by now... You could always suggest Miss Manners' advice for anyone being asked annoying personal questions: just say "why do you want to know?" or "why would you ask me that?" At the very least, she can get away while they're trying to figure out what to say back.
13 :
My tall friend replies, "5 foot 16 inches."
14 :
Well, I would screw with their minds. Like, hard to describe, so here is what a chat would look like: Person #1: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"4 Person #2: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"5. Person #3: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"6 Person #4: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"7 Person #5: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"8 Person #6: How tall are you? Exchange Student: 6"9 Person #1: How tall are you again? Exchange Student: 5"11 Like that >:)
15 :
im 6'ft 2 and ppl ask me why im a girl and why im so tall it pisses me off but i igonore them . so just ignore and walk the other way
16 :
I always answer in inches. 76" here!
17 :
I guess that WOULD get annoying after a while, but, personally, it doesn't bother me. I'm 5' 7/8", which, apparently is pretty damn tall in this town compared to all the other girls. Whenever I go to friends houses, their mothers always ask me how tall I am and compare the height to mine. My friends, family, and people I meet also do that. It doesn't happen all that often so maybe that's why I'm not annoyed by it. Personally, it makes me feels kind of special that there's something that sticks out about me. Plus, I like being tall! I can tower over some guys in my classes to appear more opposing (though I'm not very opposing to being with lol) and I tower over almost all girls.
18 :
She can go with the more powerful approach and say" Taller than you'll ever be!" Or she could tell a large group of people that she is 6 foot 5 inches. Naturally, they will be amazed by her and tell everyone. She wouldn't have to tell anyone else then.
19 :
tell them to say, "taller than you." :)
20 :
She should ask them what their weight is in return, or how many times a day they masturbate, or something equally personal and antagonizing...
21 :
Yeah. Metric with confuse them or just shut them up. :) I get that a lot, too.
22 :
im tall. ppl always ask my height and if i play basketball. the height is ok. but the basketball question is annoying. someone else on here said they had the same problem, i completely understand. and yes, it is mostly small-minded guys that ask the basketball question. as to how i answer, im usually just polite and tell the the truth. they arent really hurting me by asking a question so i just answer and move on. although i did like someone's response of "5 feet 17 inches."
23 :
ugh..i get it a lot ..im 6'3 and still growing ....i just say tall, taller than you
24 :
I was going to say just what Red said, 5 foot 17

Question about being an exchange student?

Question about being an exchange student?
I am in the USA right now. If I go to Poland for my 10th grade year, will I have to repeat that school year when I come back to america? Thanks in advance :]

That depends on your school system. In my high school, I didn't have to repeat the grade but I did need to have the necessary classes to graduate (Senior English, etc.) so that when I came back, I would be able to pick up my diploma. I doubt you would really have to retake the entire year. Make an appointment with your schools advisors to find out. Good luck!
