Hey guys im from Canada and of Polish/Persian descent. Currently im staying in Lomianki which is a town close to Warsaw, currently I only have a High School Diploma and I want to stay here longer, im staying at my grandparents for now. My Polish isn't excellent, I understand almost everything but I have problems speaking Polish, but still working on it!

Problem is im running short on money and my family is bugging me on getting a job, I was wondering if I can find a decent job with my current education? Would it be possible to teach English? I am getting my polish ID in 2 weeks. My family think that it is a good idea driving all the way to Iran and picking up a crap load of pistachios. I brought some pistachios from Iran and my Polish family said they were pyszne, I think this might be a good idea transporting some since they are expensive as hell here.

Come on lads give me your insight on this! =D

They're not just ordinary nuts, these are pistachios were talking about! Why would I have problems crossing the border with a truck full of nuts? I could use my Canadian, Iranian, and soon to be Polish paszport to my advantage. =p

If this is a crazy idea can you guys tell me if I have a chance of teaching English?

It's actually not a bad idea. You'd need a distributer and a truck big enough to make it worth your while. Apparently there are special conditions for import into the EU from Iran. You'll also probably have to throw down lots of cash in Turkey as a deposit on the customs duties. You see lots of vehicles being brought down that way, might be an idea for you to make money on the way down and on the way back. Iran is pretty hardcore about import fees though, I'm sure there is plenty of paperwork that needs to be done, but maybe you can hook up with someone down that way to do the paperwork and you just drive it in. The roads in Turkey up to the border at Gurbulak are ok. Sometimes really narrow, after winter they'll probably have bomb crater sized potholes. You probably already know what the roads are like in NW Iran.

After you pay duty and taxes yours will be as expensive as the rest of them.Not to mention that you going to need all kinds of permits.

It is not crazy but it's also not as easy as you think it is.If you want to do that you need to investigate how it works in PL,that means getting a lot of info re duties,taxes,sanitary inspection and other permits.If you think that you just load a truck in Iran,drive to PL and sell nuts on bazaar,well it is not going to happen.Why don't you do yourself a favor a go back to Canada?

It's doable, but only if you have the time and money to do it.

The Carnet de Passage alone is going to be an eyewatering amount of money.

Polish families seem to say everything is lovely, do more research on that.

Forget driving a truck to Iran, import a small amount of these pistachios and try and line up wholesale buyers in Poland. If you manage to get some contracts use a shipping company.

Ofc it's doable,I never said it's not.All I am saying is that it's not as easy as loading a truck in Iran and driving it to PL.

Hi Eurasian, sorry I may not have answers to your thread. I tried to contact you through PM but the forum didn't allow me to. I made two posts and still nothing. Are you still in Poland or back in Canada? I am from Poland and have tons of Persian friends. I currently live in Canada. I thought it was interesting to read that you are half polish and half persian :) Sounds like a great mix :)

How was your trip to Poland?
