blackpool, If you are living with, for example, your girlfriend's family and meals are taken care of then it's plenty. However, it also makes a difference if you want to get out a bit and see the country. Don't forget, if you have a problem, you can still use your hole in the wall card.

ina small town that would last me between 3 to 4 months, and still paying rent (400pln. 1 month), special deal though regarding rent............. I would have 1000 in the banka s reserve though. in life threatening situations.

About two weeks living ok.

manser	Dec 15, 06, 10:35 / #
two weeks living? spending the money on what, im tight so that would explain it. plus i was in a small village where piwos cost 3.60 PLN, pizzaz in cafe cost 6PLN ect.

Quoting: manser, Post #7 that would last me between 3 to 4 months Yes 3,4 months but this is poor living. 2 montsh comfortably. 4 is possible too.

1-2 months...

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:01 / #
poor living but stretching the zloty note as far as possible. Id say a GOOD 2 months, constant boozing and fast foods ect. ive got about 2300PLN so far myself saved uop and its already starting to look like a big wod, next time though im gonna try and get more 200PLN notes it ease that... my target is 5000PLN to take with me inc ash and to have 1000 pounds in the bank as reserve although try not to touch it as much as possible.

think of it as 2 months wages in your back pocket basically, since the average pole is surpsoe to earn 2500PLN, whether thats true or not I dont know. (average wage)

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:33 / #
depends if your in a city or outside a city too.

Quoting: manser, Post #12 more 200PLN notes it ease that... Not a good idea to carry 200zl notes. You'll have problems getting change in small shops.

No one ever gives me 200zl notes. I've had a few when cashing in at the Frankfurt airport, but like Wroclaw says, you can run into problems. In Poznan I had no troubles...but in Chłopy I did.

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:48 / #
Yeh Ive come across that, even 50PLN notes can be a hassle. Plus the fact of his rich from ppl seeing thsoe notes exchnaged. 100PLN should be ok?

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:49 / #
speaking of big notes, its funny you never see the 50 pound sterling notes isnt it.

100 is ok but can still run into isues with small shops. Pubs are ok although I've run into a few that gave me all coin change back

Quoting: manser, Post #18 50 pound sterling Never saw one. Actually, I've never seen a british pound

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:53 / #
ooo haha all coins. unlucky

manser	Dec 16, 06, 09:54 / #
seen a 50 pound note once in my life, ppl dont like using it for some reason.

manser	Dec 21, 06, 16:26 / #
I'l justy use 200PLN for paying rent wise, feels less bothering when you hand over many many polish money notes lol.

For 5000 zl (about 1650 USD) without paying rent I would last at least 3 months. Go shopping once a week in a supermarket and you save a lot. Food and clothes are most important in everyday life in Poland.

If you were smart (only smart people have 5,000 ZL, right/ , you would go to Belarus or even Ukraine and last 5 times as long as you'd have lasted in Poland

When I go to Poland alone and don't have to pay rent (living with the family) - just food, everyday activities, once or twice a week restaurant meal - 5000 ZL would probably be enough for about 2 months.
