Hi there,

I am Pratik Pandya coming to Warsaw in February 2010. I have no idea how to find rental room or shared room with Indian or South asian People over there.
Some Question if any can answer to help

how much money does I need to carry over there?
What is the general room rent for a month in shared Appartment or Shared Room?
Is there any opportunity to get part time job in Warsaw?(Just for Accomodation and food Only)
I have very good command over English. My knowledge of Polish language Is Zero.

My Mail id is pratik.pandya@hotmail.com.

Eager to know whether anybody can help regarding this.

Wouldn´t you rather like to share an apartment with Poles or other Europeans? Just so that you get in touch with the culture?

Quite a lot. They have a vast amount of authority in the Foreigners Office and will soon figure out that you're not able to sustain yourself if you present them with the minimum required.

Why are you coming to Poland if you can't afford to pay for accomodation and food?

You're not going to get much in Poland - maybe 5-8zl an hour jobs, but this isn't going to go particularly far in Warsaw.

So..why are you coming here?

I apologies for being so brutal - but if you can't afford to pay for food and accomodation in Poland, then you're going to struggle here.

As to finding accommodation, try:

http://warszawa.gumtree.pl/f-Nieruchomosci-pokoj-pokoje-wynajme-W0QQCa tIdZ9000

private ads of people renting rooms, looking for roommates etc. Sometimes you can find offers in English there (although vast majority is in Polish).

As to finding a job, I'd say it's nearly impossible with no command of Polish whatsoever, unless you're highly qualified in some narrow field of, say, IT or sth like that (but in this case I suppose you'd be looking for a job that's more than just bill-paying).

you've got guts, kid, because this city is tough enough for those of us who do speak Polish. But I'll be curious to see how you make out. Seek out the Bollywood cafe in central Warsaw, they seem to have a few like you working there..maybe they will give you some advice?

Juche, I was reading something the other day that I thought would make you nostalgic and think of all those missed job oportunities. Open this PDF file and scroll to page 19: Fanaticism's final destination - ca. 1,7 Mb. at this link http://www.gulag.eu/Doc/PDF_doc.html

delphiandomine: You're not going to get much in Poland - maybe 5-8zl an hour jobs, but this isn't going to go particularly far in Warsaw. This is a racist comment, in one post you say earnings in Poland are high and now you say this gentleman might get 5zl a hour. lol. People accepted you when you invaded Poland, do the same to others.

rtz: Your command over English is impressive! I imagine the Polish ... command over english?i beg to differ!"of english". And no, this person's english isn't impressive. One more thing: you imagine "the Polish"?are there any other "polish" that you imagine these ...? I'm curious what was on your mind when you were writing this.

BrutalButcher: Wouldn´t you rather like to share an apartment with Poles or other Europeans? Yes thats a nice thought but in begining that really boaring for me as well as to poles or other Europeans because of lake of Language and it's really hard to communicate with each other. So thats the only thing i concern!

delphiandomine: Why are you coming to Poland if you can't afford to pay for accomodation and food? That's why i perticularly mention that how much money i need to start and survive over there.i think you even reply to that and real meaning to ask that question is to make sure that i will come with good money so i dont need to worry about survival of my life.

You'll probably get more out of your time here if you immerse yourself in the culture, and not just the surroundings. Learning Polish, seeing how Poles live, going out with Polish friends, etc. Sitting at home and doing the same things that you would do in your home country and not being able to understand anything would seem to be setting yourself up for disappointment. Sure you can get by, but if you're moving by choice, don't you want to experience the culture?

Yes that’s my main motto but do you really think a family of different language will comfortable to live with young family of totally different language and culture. Who even doesn't understand a single word of each other language. If you know some family who want to believe in kind of experience with different culture than plz let me know i am really interested in kind of nice experience for sure.

Thanks Buddy if you can or can't but for nice thought in theory but not practical. If it’s possible in practice than I am ready to do the experiment.

One possibility is to hook up with some of the Indian community here (there are quite a few people from India in Raszyn, a suburb of Warsaw) and see if somebody there has some work or can help with gatting accommodation.

jonni: to hook up with some of the Indian community Every indian is connected in direct or in indirect way with there overseas community.like poles do have their community in UK or in Australia
