I received a job offer for working in 
Krakow and the salary would be around 5000-5500 Zloty. Is that a good wage for Polish standards and would I be able to live and party comfortable from it?
What kind of city is Krakow btw? Enjoyable city to live, with lots of cultural things and a nice nightlife, or more an industrial city where not much happens?
Thanks.

if u write on utube for ex. my trip to cracow ull find many films/ photofilms from Krakow so.. maybe some of them will be useful. gl.
Among all the conceited fuckers, stupid taxi drivers and toottttallly sick city councilors (better to say totaly sick thieves) it overall is a nice city. Roads aren't very good in Cracow. Public transport is working pretty good but in my opinion there is not enough night trams. Buildings and overall architecture in Cracow in some places is beautiful(like wawel or main market) and in some places very old and looking like it is gonna collapse soon :D There is a reallly nice boulveard that stretches along Vistula River that flows through the Cracow. This is a really nice place for running, riding bike or just chilling.
And as chickita said Cracow is a little less expensive than Warsaw. The problem is you wont rent a flat in city center with urban heating - only gas heating or electric heating. And during winter it may increase your bills pretty dramatically if you like warm. (For the flat I would recommend you Kraków-Ruczaj European Settlement(Osiedle Europejskie). You can rent a flat with central heating for really good price, and from Ruczaj you have really good tram connections (also night trams) to city centre and vice versa(normally you will propably use car but if you would like to go to some party then come back to ruczaj is no problemo). And this settlement is brand new so flats there are pretty comfortable, (lived few weeks at my cousin flat on ruczaj).
Good Luck
BUT I do love the polish chicks,so gentle.
Also, which polish chick would give her cunt for guy with cutted dick, rotfl.
And about poland its depends, I earn smth about 2500 euro here in Poland, living in Katowice and its not enough. But i have credits for flat, and car, so gg.
ja wlasnie sie wybieram na pierwszy rok studiow, pracuje od czerwca za 1200zlotych i kurwa oplacam mieszkanie, zywie sie i przy okazji pare razy sie napierdole.
Poland,have you ever been in Israel?
No. Why? Theres civial war for over 50 years.
65 years ago,Israel was nothing but sand and more sand,we made Israel what it is,and we didn't steal anything,we have been attacked by 4 arab nations armed forces at once,we won and when you win a war you conquer shit,never the less we already gave most of the territories back to their owners for peace,what arabs gave us? nothing but violence,and you won't tolerate violence forever.
I dont see why Pala's should or want to stay in gaza and etc,I mean,I don't care either as long they live there peacefully,and won't spread violence and hate to their youth sending them with bombs to blow all over the place,Israel is in the middle of 5 and more arab nations they can go too,but seems like its good for people who don't like Israel putting their money and efforts to keep them there,and the wheel keeps on spinning.
The problem here is neither Israel or the Palestine's,is the world not understanding the conflict right,and fucking it all over.
And that's not a civil war,that us kicking terror in the ass,seriously,is more safe here then you may think,just dont let TV mind fuck you.
