Polish people on Alaska

HI!

I just got here (one year ago). Is anybody on this forum from Alaska?? Would be nice to meet someone.
I live in Fairbanks.

yes i am from fairbanks as well. but i'm American i'm sure you've met a few so you probably don't want to meet me. however i have polish ancestors , just got back from poland and its about damn time random people can say my last name . well they're many polish people in our city for the summer with the J1 visas they come here because they can get higher wages than most other places in the USA and its very easy to get 2 or 3 jobs for only the summer that pay $8.00 or $9.00 an hour with no state income tax and no sales tax here. however if you would like to go hang out with them and meet them it will be difficult because they work 2 jobs and value sleep. why do you want to me polish people? i did by chance i didn't go looking for them.

Hi.

I know all this I met many polish people at the Villages last year. we had great time together. Not only with polish. With many people from europe too.

Hey, Im from Alaska. Both my parent were born in Poland and Im speak polish. I visit there every summer I can. Im currently in Anchorage though, a little farther south then Fairbanks. Nice meeting you ^^.

Said you were from brooklyn you lying wanker andy

Speaking of Alaska - I'm thinking with my wife to go there on vacations. Is it worth it? Is it a good place to have a good time? I like the nature etc but a little comfort would be good too. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks!

andy said in the same post that he moved to alaska about a year ago....lol read the entire post

pawel yes its worth it most people who visit alaska come back and alot move here avter visiting. most people are scared of the winters here it just depends on where you live in alaska fairbanks has cold winters and hot summers and anchorage has mild winters and mild summers

Well, frankly, I'm scared too - that's why I'm going to visit in the summer :). That way I'll be able to go anywhere in Alaska because I won't depend on the weather...

haha -40 weather isn't so bad. but having people scared of comming here is nice it keeps alot of peeople out

OK ;) - how about hotels/motels? Are they of good quality? What about prices - are they about the same like in other US states?

Cant be from alaska since he didnt come from alaska, he came from brooklyn. Learn how to differentiate when its appropriate to claim you came from somewhere.

Eh the winters arent too bad, Ive lived through 1 winter up here so far and the only thing that sucked was walking to the bus stop in the morning.

Me and my wife are thinking about moving to Alaska. Now we live in Boston, Ma but its hard to find a job here and living costs ale very high. We are both Pols and have GC. What about finding a job in Alaska? My wife is an accountant and I am a sea transport specialist.

Im 15 years old and I have a job, you can probably find a job no problem lol.

Jobs are very easy to find, last month I had 4 poles with J1 student work visas living with me for 2 weeks so they can live rent free and get on their feet, within 2 days they had 2 jobs, all 4 of them. I myself have 2 jobs one pays $16 an hour and the other $11. The cost of living is high however we have no state income tax or sales tax. and we get a dividend for just living there that will pay $800- $2000 per person living in Alaska. yes instead of the people paying the state the state pays the people (the amount varies, its an average of oil prices and the stock market over 5 years.) this also helps with the higher cost of living and by Alaska law the minimum wages are always $0.50 higher than federal. I have lived in other states and Alaska is by far the easiest to make a living. I would recommend living in Anchorage because of your profession, it’s the largest city and it’s next to the ocean. My sister and sister in-law are both accountants and they don't seem to have trouble finding jobs here. You should try Alaska out and see how you like it.

Sorry I'm native Pole and doesn't know the subject, $800- $2000 per month/year?

They get Payed to live there..... looks like were all moving to alaska lol

how much for what period and how much do you pay for gas bills?

Is it an ironic question or what? :}}

In the Canadian north, the cost of living is very high. Not much grows there and most goods are imported. People who move there usually get a tax break or an allowance for living in a remote location. I suspect this is what Guest is referring to when he says that people get paid to live in Alaska.

On the Canadian side, there are the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut.

What is there to do in Alaska?

what degree is it down there? is it really cold down there/or up there well hi my name if nikki and i live in amarica im 14 im in alaska for a small vacation im going tomarrow. well thanks if u anwser if u dont its ok
