Russian-speaking people who have lived in Poland for a long time, can you tell me how Russophobia is in Poland? I've heard a lot of opinions, but I'd like to hear from people who have lived or are living in Poland.

Long story short, life took a turn and I will likely be alone for the holidays for the first time and looking to escape - I've read good things about Poland during this time of year, and figured I'd see what my Polish friends on the internet had to say.

I'd be coming from the US, and really enjoy immersing myself into the local culture, history, food, activities, etc.

I'm pretty well traveled so used to navigating foreign places, but still want to do my research first so any insight on things to do, must see and dos, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: I don't have to be there for Christmas Day specifically, even activities or events leading up to are of interest.

Hello,

Some websites don't offer international shipping away form Poland across EU.

I'm wondering if there is any parcel forwarding business where i can send my parcels and they will forward it towards my address in EU?

Or anyone person that could be verified for doing this service.

Specifically buses/minibuses going between Zakopane and Dolina Kościeliska.

Thank you!

Hi! I’m thinking about doing my Master’s in Lublin and would love to hear from anyone who actually lives or studies there.

What’s student life like? Are there enough cafés, bars, events, etc. to keep you busy? And how does the cost of living compare with other Polish cities?

Also, is it possible to find part-time work teaching English while studying? I have an ELT degree and celta .
Would really appreciate some honest, first-hand experiences! :)
