Well a few months ago it was cheaper in Poland but now I think its cheaper in the USA to buy a computer. In most cases you can not change the install program on Windows, but this is not an issue, there is a program online that will do it for you. I think if you buy it in Poland now it will cost you about 70-100 dollars more, but they have 2 years of service, so it up to you.

Remember prices in Poland are quoted after tax.
For present, anything from Canada is cool. I have brought had maple syrup and things like that, but people do not know what it is.
Something that is Canadian or very unique. If there are kids in the home books in English for kids. Everyone must study English. Kids books are great.

Hi Mark,

I will be traveling to Poland for the first time to meet my family. I live in Canada. I would like to purchase a computer for my cousins, would it be best to buy one here? Are they able to install Vista in Polish afterwards? Also, what kinds of things should I take with me as gifts for them?

Thanks

You will be a rich man. 1000 Euros a month, your rich. Most people I know make like 500 euros and have a family to support. So all will be good.

In a global market place there will always be need for talented workers, like IT and teaching, or technical skills. Think more like what you like to do rather than what skills people are looking for. If you have specific knowledge then you can always get a job.

Hi Mark Excellent website, I would just like to know if there are any sort of trades Poland is short of workers for?. For example in the building trade.I ask because maybe to live in Poland is something I would like to do one day and would not mind getting training in something suitable for work there.
Thanks

I do not think you are allowed to work, but I would ask at the Polish office for foreigners directly when you get there. Use this site to learn Polish grammar. No other site is interactive like.

Thanks for replying my query. I have some more questions please bear with me.

I have a student Visa , My IELTS score is 7.5 /9.0

I do not have any basic idea Polish language , is there any good online site where I can learn Polish Language.Would you recommend me some intuition?

Tell me whether an Non-EU student like me can work or not ?. If so , how many hours I am allowed to work?
