Warsaw - Info, stuff to do, etc. (1 Viewer)

[AnarchoBob]

So basically it's very probable that I'll move to Warsaw in September for a few months, but I know fuck all about Warsaw.

If anyone knows Warsaw (or more generally Poland) it would be good to know about what venues there are, about any squat or social centre, good veggie/vegan places to eat, good bands to check out, what are the hangout spots, what is there to do or any sort of thing I should know before moving there. All that sort of stuff basically.

Any kind of help in that direction would be absolutely great. Especially looking at yis Polish folk who write on here.

 

[Lepra]

[AnarchoBob]

Aye, gonna be based in Warsaw but planning to travel around Poland as much as I can within my possibilities.

 

[Cormcolash]

[AnarchoBob]

Ah, now, that is the sort of thing I was looking for!

 

[AnarchoBob]

Now I have another new problem.

Once again, all the Polish peeps help me out. Where is a good place for a foreigner to look for a flat or to share a room? Cos I have a couple of websites but they haven't proven any good yet.

[bohs punks]

traditional is best

just get off the boat with a fiver in your pocket and get in with the local loo las and get on with it

why change a winning formula?

never done any of us any harm

 

[AnarchoBob]

Never thought about posting on the hardcore forum, good call! Would rather get a room with someone that may be more into the stuff I am than end up with some weird raver or the Polish version of chavs.

Ugh, Warsaw? Not a great place to visit, never mind live. Krakow though, now THERE'S a city to live in. Is this part of college yeah?

 

[AnarchoBob]

Aye, heard that for students Krakow is the place to be, but to be honest I despise university students (despite being one myself) so glad I won't be around most of European twatty university students.

And yes, it's part of my uni course.

 

[Gambra]

Yeah, Krakow was filled with annoying idiots at the huge Jagellonion but I was at this tiny private place (which actually just means that my uni are too useless to get an agreement with the proper uni) so it wasn't too bad. Warsaw was pretty depressing looking when I visited. Wroclaw was pretty cool though.

 

[subbuteo !]

i enjoyed warsaw a lot

(but we had a local to show us around so that always helps).

 

[AnarchoBob]

Suppose it depends on the individuals. Heard people that loved Krakow but didn't like Warsaw and the other way round. But hopefully will find someone local that can show me round because that's indeed probably the best way to get to see the interesting parts.
