6 Tips for Staying alive in Poland

Poland is a safe, civilised, wonderful country. You can have an awful lot of fun here in world-class cities without bags of cash or the worry that something is going to go wrong. But, like anywhere, Poland has it rules and regulations – and they may not be ones you’re used to. Follow this quick guide to stay on the right side of the law, and to avoid some common pitfalls.

1. Stamp your bus/tram ticket
In Poland, you can’t just buy a ticket and get on a bus or tram, you need to validate that sucker too. This means finding a validating machine on the bus or tram you are travelling on. The machine will stamp it with the date, time and your route. If you don’t do this, you’re travelling without a valid ticket and could be fined. Plainclothes ticket inspectors can pop up at any time and they don’t care that this isn’t the way it’s done on the No.7 to Ealing.

2. Jaywalking and road safety
Only cross roads at marked pedestrian crossings, or face a 500zł fine. Wandering across the street anywhere you like, even when there is no traffic in sight, is illegal. The police are bored of foreigners trying to get out of these fines by claiming ignorance, so don’t even try it. And by the way, offering a bribe could get you a ticket straight to jail.

Some pedestrian crossings have lights (and a recorded voice) to tell you when you can cross. Don’t think you can ignore these at 2am when there’s nothing but tumbleweeds bowling down the street.Poland has one of the worst road safety records in Europe – don’t take the risk.

3. Public drinking
It is illegal to drink alcohol in a public place. It doesn’t matter if you’re sucking back cans on the corner of the street or sipping cocktails with your pinky extended at a riverside picnic – either can earn you a hefty fine and a possible trip to the drunk tank (see no. 4).

Obviously, this doesn’t apply to outside seating provided by licensed premises (though don’t be surprised if you can’t buy spirits sitting outside). It does apply to nipping outside for a ciggie and taking your beer with you. If the bar doesn’t have a license for on-the-street tables, you’re just on the street drinking a beer, and open to prosecution.

4. Public drunkenness
Polish cops have long, long experience of public drunkenness and they know exactly how to deal with it – by locking you up in a bare cell until long after you have a very sore head.

5. Drinking and driving

The legal blood-alcohol level for driving in Poland is ZERO. Poland has an horrendous problem with drink driving, and the authorities are keen to do something about it. Random checks are as real possibility.

Note that Polish drinking and driving laws also apply to bicycles. It might sound like a fun idea to hire some bikes and tool around town after a few afternoon beers, but it could prove a lot more expensive than anticipated.

6 Strip clubs and brothels
You’ve probably read somewhere that prostitution is legal in Poland and have mentally constructed all kinds of interesting scenarios. While it is true that there is no law against an individual selling sex, brothels are completely illegal. This doesn’t mean they don’t exist, they do, but if you step through the door be aware that you’re walking into a criminal world, and all that entails.

There are several strip clubs in Krakow, and these are legal. But keep your wits about you. The Krakow Post has received many reports of customers’ credit and debit cards being scammed for thousands of pounds.

What Wenger said about the Social media

Arsene Wenger says social media is becoming a growing problem in football as he prepares to face Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday.
The Gunners lost the same fixture 3-2 last season with the Arsenal team met by angry fans at Stoke train station as they returned to London after the game.
Wenger says that while he did not take the verbal abuse he received personally he does believes such behaviour is a growing problem that stems from social media.
"At the time I took it as people who were upset because we lost a game and didn’t take it personally," he told reporters. "It was my function and the fact that I’m responsible for the club that was attacked."
"I didn’t take it personally. I was sad and upset more by the result than by the individual reactions of people, which I can understand. When you love a club, you want the results to be positive.

Why Did God Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah?

Dear readers and viewers,i want us to discuss on this issue because it is bringing so much hate amongs us as a society.it has even brought hate and confusion amongs religious bodies.
Why Did God Destroy Sodom and Gomorrah?Lets discuss this.
Many countries of the world are now passing the law in favour of gay marriage so,it is now predicted that the Supreme Courts all over the world will soon give its ruling on same sex marriages.
We should be clear. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was not simply because the city was full of homosexuality,or was that the reason God destroyed Sodom?
The word of God is truth.There is another part of scripture that states something strange:
Ezekiel 16:49"'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."
Does this means that God destroyed her because she was arrogant,overfed and unconcerned?,Lets discuss this
