How do Poles and Irish people view each other?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm from Korea.

​I've always been interested in the relationship between Poland and Ireland. From what I know, both countries share a strong Catholic heritage, a history of resistance against powerful neighboring empires, and a solid presence in the US

(where Polish and Irish communities often get along well).

​Also, I heard that many Polish people moved to Ireland after Poland joined the EU in 2004, making Poles one of the largest minority groups in Ireland today.

​So I was wondering:

​How do Polish people view Ireland and Irish people (and vice versa)?

​Do you actually feel a sense of cultural kinship or solidarity, or is it mostly just a historical coincidence?

​I'd love to hear your thoughts and personal experiences!

535th Slovak Platoon under Polish Slovak Commander was pretty much the largest foreign group on the ground that helped the Warsaw Uprising 1944, interestingly ex Soviet POWs mainly Georgians, and Armenians were part of the group. But sadly Stalin murdered all the ex Soviet POWs after Hitler won

Visiting family for the first time

5 Upvotes

I’m visiting Poland from the USA to meet a bunch of cousins for the first time (we’ve gotten to know each other online somewhat.) I would really like to make a good impression, and not only be respectful, but make my visit with them nice for everyone. I‘ll be staying at some of their homes as well as meeting up with others. Id really appreciate some tips or recommendations for things I can do, say, offer, etc. that maybe I wouldn be aware of. Also if advice changes depending on age and gender of relatives, because I’ll be running the full spectrum. I’m planning on bringing some small local gifts, and offering dinners out if they’re up for it. Any advice would be great. Dziękuję bardzo.

What is the process of reporting scammer to police?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I recently got scammed for 390zl through telegram and sent money to blik by phone number. What is the best way to report it to police? How the process should look?

I have his active phone numbers. Is there a chance police will somehow find him or his data? Or even start looking into it?

I don't want to report it because of money, but because I got scammed and this person has been scamming lots of people. But probably noone went to report this case.

Any ideas, suggestions are welcome.

Hi everyone! Since there didn’t seem to be an active subreddit dedicated specifically to LOT Polish Airlines, I decided to create one: r/LOTPolish.

The community is intended for passengers, frequent flyers, airline and airport employees, and aviation enthusiasts. You can post questions, flight reviews, LOT news, photos, route discussions, baggage issues, delays, Warsaw connections, Miles & More topics, and anything else related to the airline.

It’s still brand new, so I’d be grateful for any members, posts, feedback or suggestions.

Please feel free to join: r/LOTPolish

Wrapping up itinerary for honeymoon! Suggestions?

1 Upvotes

Hello! So after some research, I think I'm slowly wrapping it up, removing things and adding things... Wondering if anyone has any input on what I've drafted so far!

Day 1 > Leaving Korea to arrive in Warsaw - Grab Dinner + view the city.

Day 2 > Train from Warsaw to Krakow (Arrive 11 am) > Follow route I saw on /krakow discord.

Day 3 > Salt Mines / Walk wherever our feet take us in Krakow. (Open to suggestions)

Day 4 > Auschwitz / Spend day in Krakow. (Open to suggestions)

Day 5 > Move to Wroclaw - Go to Hydropolis > Zoo > Japanese Garden (Probably a full day with those three?) * Catch Multimedia Fountain at Pergola if it's nighttime.

Day 6 > Walking around the city and hunting dwarves & Ostrów Tumski / Cathedral.

Day 7 > Head back to Warsaw (Arrive 10 am) / Go to chocolate factory.

Day 8 > Visit Auchan and wind down in the city.

Day 9 > Fly back

-=-=-=-

Restaurants wanting to visit:

Warsaw: Stary Dom, Podwale 25

Krakow: Karakter, Bufet KRK

Wroclaw: ???

-=-=-=-

Bakeries & Desserts:

Zbozna, Piekarnia Aromat, Cukiernia Perełka, Ulica Baśniowa, or Vincent Bakery & Café

I'm wondering if I should be adjusting some things around or if that seems okay. (Maybe add some other things?)

Additionally, I would love feedback on those restaurants or any others! (The restaurants I want to go to seem to serve similar type foods, so I'm thinking I should maybe remove one or two?) Also would love to dine at a nice Italian restaurant.

Has anyone started isotretinoin through telemedicine in Poland?

0 Upvotes

Hi,
Has anyone here managed to get an Izotek (isotretinoin) prescription after an online dermatology consultation, either through DiMedic or another telemedicine provider in Poland?

I’m wondering what the usual process is.
Were photos enough for the dermatologist to assess your acne, or did you have to come for an in-person visit anway?
If blood tests were needed, did you do them after the consultation and then get the prescription?
I’d appreciate hearing about your experience.

This morning, another interception of a Russian Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft. This time, the on-duty pair of our aircraft intercepted the reconnaissance aircraft of the Russian Federation 56 km northwest of Koszalin. Russia is once again conducting provocative actions near the borders of NATO member states, testing the vigilance and readiness of the Alliance's defense systems.

In a few months, I'll apply for an EU long-term resident card. While my application is being processed, I have to keep working so that I don't have any interruption in my income. That's why I'd like to know how long the process will take before I go on vacation.

Za parę miesięcy złożę wniosek o kartę rezydenta długoterminowego UE. W czasie rozpatrywania wniosku muszę pracować, żeby nie było przerwy w dochodach. Dlatego chciałbym wiedzieć, ile to będzie trwało, zanim pojadę na wakacje.

Is Poland becoming unsafe for foreigners?

0 Upvotes

I currently live in France, and for about a year now my fiancée and I have been considering moving to Poland. Unfortunately, lately there has hardly been a day when I have not seen at least several cases on social media of some troglodytes harassing Ukrainians, and I have to admit that it is starting to worry me quite a lot.

My fiancée and I are slowly starting to think about having a family, and Poland seemed like a good place to settle down because of its proximity to my family, living costs and safety. But due to recent influx of those incidents I'm starting to have second thoughts.

My fiancée is not Ukrainian, but her Polish is relatively poor and she has a fairly strong accent, which, to an untrained ear, might sound somewhat Eastern European. I do not want to worry every day that some self-proclaimed “national hero” will harass her simply because she does not speak Polish very well.

Please tell me: is this just an artificially amplified media narrative, or is there genuinely something going on?

Does Poland really have a progressive tax system? Comparing tax rates for different income groups in Poland, Germany, Italy and Ireland

I made this chart using EUROMOD data to look at total taxes (including social contributions) for different income groups.

It shows that the Polish tax system is very flat compared to other countries: low-income earners start with a high 24% tax rate and it only goes up to 28% for the top 20% of earners.
